Pours a very pale straw color with no head and minimal lacing. Smell is light and refresh my with a solid mango scent that does not overpower. If there was a mango cider I would assume it would smell like this. Taste is typical of a cream ale - very lite with a little lager mixed in. The mango taste is suttle but at the same time prominent. Really well balanced. If anything I'd prefer a bit more punch from the mango. The definition of a summer beer right here. Hard to get a solid beer with fruit in it but this one hits the spot and won't fill you up.
