Copenhagen 16/12 2020. 33 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Drawing of what looks like a biscuit in a tuxedo on the can.
Pours hazy, golden yellow with a small, bubbly, white head. Disappears fairly fast leaving meagre remnants of foam. No lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a strong, sweet odor of exotic fruit and lemonade. Mango in abundance. Hints of peach. Citrus and white sugar.
Medium strong carbonation. Medium thick, slick, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a moderate bitterness and light salty tang. Aftertaste is sweet and lingers for a bit. Finish is sweet and salt.
More Mango than Pale Ale.

Can. Unfiltered golden orange color. White head.
Soft up front. Very fruity and hoppy. Different than American IPAs. The floral notes are more of a bouquet. Bitter on the finish. Mango sweetness up front. Nice tropical notes.
A nice surprice from an Icelandic brewery. Very fun to try.
