Supplier: Beer52
Beautiful designs from this brewery, with this beer from another of the South African Breweries based in Cape Town - only a few meters away from the Devil's Peak Brewing Company that I reviewed earlier. This is their core range wheat beer which has loads of mosaic hops, hence the name. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A pale straw colour with hints of gold, fairly opque so you can see to the other side of the glass but no further. The head is pure white but thins to a film very quickly, unusual for a wheat beer.
Aroma: Lots of mango and orange juice with a little bit of yeasy bread.
Flavour: Lots more of the orange jucie notes than the mango unfirtunatly, but a fantastic balance of hops and malt.
Body: Thick but super refreshing and very juicy. Becuase it's so thick, the mouthfeel is very good and works suprisingly well with such a light beer.
Aftertaste: Some bitter ornange rind with some wholewheat bread crust.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, enjoyable, but a little bit of a unpleasant bitterness in the back.
Price Range: £29 for a pack of 10 South African beers, so £2.90 for a 340ml bottle; not a bad price and it would be a good price from a pub, but not a shop.
Food Pairings: A strong fish, maybe something like unsmoked salmon, just lightly grilled.
