This light-bodied, blonde ale is infused with mango ceylon tea. Its subtle flavors of mango, apricot, tea, toasted malt, biscuit, and toffee complement this classic blonde ale.

A very crisp, light ale with unique, interesting flavors that are quite pleasant. Tried this one on tap at Grand Rapids Brewing Company. Pours a lighter orange-yellow color with a little white head and very spotty lingering lacing. Smells more faintly of tea, fruity hops, a little malt. Tastes of some tropical fruit - mango, tangerine, lemon, pineapple, guava - as well as that nice hit of tea that’s balanced just right. Also a little malt and bread. Smooth, thin, mild mouthfeel and just enough carbonation. So easy to drink, definitely sessionable.

Pours a light orange color with a decent white head.
Malty and fruity are the main smells here, maybe a hint of yeast.
Tastes a lot like it smells, lot of fruit up front. There is citrus, and something a little different that I am assuming in the mango. There is a hint of spice, and a small amount of bitterness at the finish.
Pretty smooth and creamy going down, feels a bit more solid than expected.
A somewhat unusual beer, how much you like it depends on how well you like fruit flavors in your beer. I found it very drinkable and refreshing, would be nice on a hot day.

On tap at the brewery. Color is light orange. Smell is unidentified fruit. Oddly, it smells a lot like a chile beer with that green spicy note. Taste is light fruit, quickly switching to buttered popcorn. Never had that taste element before. Feel is typical thin from a blonde. Overall not great. One and done for sure
