Hazy/cloudy orange color with a substantial creamy white head that lasts and produces some very nice lacing.
The aroma is mango, citrus, pineapple, honeydew, very aromatic, nice.
The taste is slightly sweet mango forward with notes of pineapple, tangerine, and honeydew melon. The finish is dry with pine and grapefruit zest lingering with a spicy, peppery note.
The body is light/medium, good carbonation level, very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a very tasty refreshing brew, luscious with a mild bitterness level and nicely balanced flavor, very nice.

Undated bottle; drank 10/9/22 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque dull orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a huge off-white head; frothy, tree-rung lace.
STRONG mango, orange peel & table sugar notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Mango, dry wheat & table sugar flavors.
Big mango notes, but the base beer doesn't offer up much on it's own. Interesting for a few sips, but then it quickly becomes a bit boring.

Huge Mango notes upfront, nice citrus-hoppy aftertaste! Highly crushable at 6%!

Poured from a bottle. Hazy and orangish in color with a foamy head and lacing. Smells of pine, citrus and mango really stands out. Flavor follows the smell, mango is definitely in the forefront. Well balanced, very good.

Poured from a single-serve bottle into an Empyrean Brewing Co. tulip. (I've not had much from this brewer, but they promote and sell great glassware).
Pours a hazy, but not quite NEIPA cloudy apricot-gold with a fine two-fingered foamy head that retains well and subsides to a nice persistent lace.
The aromas are very fruit forward. Mango, pineapple peach, orange, honeydew, and a hint of ruby red grapefruit.
The brew is quite sweet on the tip of the tongue, with flavors that follow the nose. Plenty of the promised mango, as well as orange, peach and melon. The flavors are a bit more muddled than the aromas. Other than the initial fruitiness, this brew lacks a well-rounded character. It feels "hollow" between the initial sweetness and the finish, which is a bit flat for the style. A bit more bitterness, earthiness, grassiness or dryness on the back end would have helped.
The mouthfeel is neutral medium with decent carbonation and finish.
Overall, this isn't a bad brew, but it doesn't do much to distinguish itself. For the style, it is definitely too sweet, much more like an NEIPA in that regard. It needs something to offset the sweetness.
