Canned 10-22-19
Lightly hazed orange. One minute after pour results in a tiny head, very little lacing. Smell is mango, a mild case of GF and a twinge of citrus in the background. Taste is mango up front, a good bite of GF in the middle, mango late. MF is medium, oily smooth.
I'm not a 'mango' guy, so I wasn't sure what to expect. After my 2nd drink (ice cold), I was onboard with everything. A delicious beer that really has my attention...it's just a shame I live on the east coast.

Super light and refreshing IPA, not a ton of mango and not sure if thats good or bad. All in all its a quality beer thats neither too sweet nor too hoppy.

Golden color with medium haze, off-white head. Aroma has tart fruits, mostly citrus and unripe pineapple. Taste is tart and fruity with citrus notes and unripe mango. Light herbal hop bitterness on the finish. Light body with medium carbonation. Really refreshing and fruity summer beer.

Clear golden colour, with a spring of CO2 rising from the glass bottom. Nice foamy head. Some small sediments in the last drops.
The smell is an explosion of tropical fruits (pineapple, coconut, mango, passion fruit).
Tastes sour, with a lot of citric aromas in the body, strong carbonated, very fresh and airy. The hops is not at all dank and concentrated, but it has a smooth bitterness, doubled by a fruity notes essence. The 7% alcohol is nicely mixed in.
Very different from what you'd expect and from the classical IPA recipe.

Pours a clear, golden yellow with the slightest of haze, a 1-finger head quickly dissipates leaving a fair amount of lacing. Smell is dominated by mango, oranges and other tropical fruits with a hint of pine. Taste is much like the smell, big mango flavor up front, which gives way to a masked, dry bitterness that lingers.

Had on tap at Growler Garage 30A July 2018 - very flavorful, light bodied summer sipper; not my favorite style but a great version of it
