Can't quite remember how I obtained this beer but it was in my stash and something that I needed to get around to sooner rather than later. Love the label and the Creedence reference but the liquid on the inside was quite enjoyable as well as it had a nice mango flavor to it and plenty of body and freshness. It was a bit one-dimensional but at the same time, easy to drink without feeling cheap or watered-down!
The pour to this was hazy, mango-hued, and didn't have any sediment in it. Not a lot of head topped it off and there wasn't much of any lacing left behind as I worked my way through this. Lots of mango and tart fruit in the nose with some fruity funk underneath that. Acrid lemon, tart juice, and mangoes bursting with brightness and ripeness shone through in the taste. This almost felt as much a Wild Ale or something along those lines because how funky and sour the aftertaste was as the IPA slickness was quite recessed. Plenty of body as the bitterness was hardly anywhere to be found, but at least there was enough carbonation to keep this lively!
The amount of booze was just right as I only felt a slight buzz by the time I finished this off. Like so many other breweries, I enjoyed this but wish I knew how old it was. It's time for everyone to date their cans!

On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza. Aroma is really dank, lemony, tart with fermented fruit notes. Taste is juicy and hoppy with tart lemon pie and lime notes.

Can shared by Matthew. Thank you!
Bright orange body with a small white head that fades to a thin, wispy layer. Fresh citric hops and mango scents abound. Fruity and super tart. Absolutely wonderful.

Poured on draft into a tulip glass. Appearance is a very hazy yellow orange color that exudes juice. Taste is tart mangoes perfectly blended with a hoppy NE style base. Moderate to low sweetness and bitterness, not too sour. The mouthfeel is an unreal medium to full body with just enough tartness on the finish, very creamy. This beer is really flavorful but balanced enough to want multiple pours. Great beer all the way around.
