2019 BBD Blood Orange Saison Mango Pale
Brewed: 5/4/2019 Kegged: 5/24/2019

We invited our friend "Doc" and our friend "Du" over with their beer equipment. We also invited several non-brewers who were interested in learning about homebrewing (and/or sitting around drinking homebrew and eating barbecue) .
For this event, SheppyBrew decided to do our first 10 gallon batch of beer.
I had been wanting to do another Blood Orange Saison.
I don't have a 10 gallon fermentor, so I was going to have to ferment in separate vessels anyway. I thought I'd split the batch.

One of the non-brewing friends wanted a Mango beer, so the "other" fermentor became a Mango Pale Ale.
Boom!
When it comes right down to it, I like the Blood Orange Saison more than the Mango Pale Ale. The Saison is exactly what I pictured a Blood Orange Saison should be.
The Mango Pale just tastes too much like mango and not enough like a pale ale. I think it would benefit from finishing hops. Also, less of the mango flavoring.
But both beers are delicious. Both are very drinkable. Yummy.
