A hazy IPA containing Idaho 7 hops with significant mango flavor from the vast quantities of mango puree added. This beer is light on bitterness yet very flavorful.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells pretty mango forward, with some citrus and marijuana.

As far as I know, I’m not allergic to mango, but I had a really prickly spicy sensation on my lips when drinking this beer. It could be the way the mango is interacting with the IPA, as I’ve definitely heard of a weird burning sensation in hoppy beers with mango. It unfortunately dominates the beer, but I can tell there’s some decent sweet creamy mango flavor, and a soft citrusy IPA that would normally be good here.

This is medium bodied, creamy, but with a burning astringency on the back end that is pretty unpleasant.

Something is awry here and I don’t quite know what happened.
