A: This poured a hazy light gold with rocky white head.
S: It smelled like light grapefruit and pineapple, with some tangerine and mango.
T: It tasted like pineapple and mango, with tangerine and mild grapefruit. It had a clean and tropical aftertaste that was sweet and bitter.
M: It was watery with a little carbonation. Decent body.
D: This was a really solid IPA with mild and delicious tropical scent and taste. The body was ok and the finish was really smooth, so it was super easy to drink. Not their best brew, but still another hit from Ocelot.

 

 

On tap at brewery:
Pours highly hazy yellow slightly more than gold. Head is thin on a hero pour, but lasts no, minor lacing.

Nose is heavy on mango as it warms, though there's a bit of bitter grapefruit backing on a colder beer. The pulp is strong, but there's a light bitterness that I describe as being near the skin/rind more than the alternative "starting to turn."

Taste starts with a slight sweetness that I take as more tropical than malt, as it seems more juicy (heavy on mango) and ever so lightly tart. By mid-taste the rind aspect catches up, bittering the taste but still leaning it "juicy." Carbonation is light, but fits in well. Ending actually is a mix of light tart bitterness.

Juicy IPA fans should give this a whirl. If you like more bitter bombs, maybe stay away. It's a nicely constructed mango juicy IPA that I don't believe has mango added. Interesting for that fact, if it's true. Personally I'd like just a little more bitterness in this one.
