Big Beer Hug Mango - 6-pk/12-oz

Big Mango Beer Hug is a bold, fruit-forward beer with a notable 9.9% ABV that invites attention from the first sip. This one-of-a-kind brew blends strong tropical fruit presence with a warm, comforting strength, creating a distinctly fruity profile that stands up to its higher alcohol content. On the nose, it offers ripe mango and a hint of citrus zest that hint at the sweetness to come, while a subtle malt backbone provides balance and depth. The flavor unfolds with a pronounced mango sweetness that remains lush without tipping into cloying territory, complemented by bright light citrus notes and a touch of pear that adds a delicate, pear-forward undertone. The result is a harmonious tapestry of tropical fruit flavors, framed by a gently resinous, friendly bitterness that keeps the taste from becoming overly sugary.

The mouthfeel is medium in body, offering enough heft to support the beer’s intensity while remaining surprisingly approachable for a strong release. Its finish lingers with a soft, fruity warmth and a clean, balanced aftertaste that invites another sip. This beer is part of Goose Island’s Beer Hug series, known for combining cozy, comforting flavors with bold, adventurous profiles. Big Mango Beer Hug pairs well with rich, savory dishes like grilled pork, roasted vegetables, or spicy Asian-inspired fare, and it also makes a festive companion to dessert options such as mango sorbet or tropical fruit tarts. Choose this beer when you want a generous, memorable hug of fruit-forward character and a bold, celebratory finish.
