Sweetwater launched its first iteration of the 420 Strain line last year, with an ode to the superpowered G13 cannabis strain of urban legends. This one pays homage to mango kush, an indica-dominant variety. To be clear, there’s no cannabis in this 5 percent ABV beer. Instead the brewers focused on finding hops with terpenes (aromatic oils) that match those found in mango kush. You don’t have to be a cannabis connoisseur to like this brew. The hazy golden ale is a touch fruity and just a bit dank—but in a good way.
