Notes:

Mango Made the blonde ale a bit too dry. It had a nice subtle mango aroma to it. Had a hazy finish to it. Wonder if it would have turned out better if we would have added the mango when the beer had been cold crashed and then left for a few day to settle. The Blonde ale without mango was very good. Tasted in between a blond ale and a pale ale, but had a good biscuty smooth finish. Looked very crisp and clear as well. Glad to have had this back up for the PhD celebration
