another tasty version of this, a little pepper heat to it but nicely paired with the sweeter fleshy mango, it really works well as a combination, but i again am discouraged by just how messy this is, almost disgusting looking in the glass through the second half of the can, and i am losing my patience with the lack of refinement these have, even if they taste good, no reason they cant clean these up, i dont want to drink beer that looks brown and murky like paintbrush water, its just not appealing at all. mango is certainly natural in nose and taste, ripe and tropical, while the chili is fresh and comes on pretty late, almost at the swallow, and has good flavor but also well restrained heat. i like the taste a lot, its not too sour, none of them are, but here more than ever i just cannot get past how thick and messy this is, and beer like this will never be attractive to me no matter what is trendy. refine this a ways and you have a winner, but its nothing more than a novelty for me at this stage, so chunky and thick.

edit: finally learned how to pour these, which is to say super slowly so as to disturb as little of the gunk as possible on the bottom. it only yields about eight ounces of beer from the can, but it leaves the gross behind. it makes these way better if you ask me...
