Mash Gang - Chug IPA
This IPA from the London-based brewer comes in a 440ml can and is no more than 0.5% ABV. The can has typically cool artwork and it lists the ingredients as being malted barley, wheat, oats, mango, hops and "natural flavours" (thankfully I've yet to see a beer with "unnatural flavours"). The hops are El Dorado and Citra, typical of those found in IPAs. The beer is hazy, quite possibly mango coloured too, whilst on the nose it is assertively hoppy. Tastewise Chug is an excellent combination of fruits, both citrus and tropical. The mango gives a touch of sweetness, but nothing overpowering; a nice addition to the flavours in fact. The smooth body and rich mouthfeel is followed by a crisp and bitter finish. Eminently chuggable.
