An interesting beer. Cloudy, orange color wth a nice, white head. Mango, lactose, and light citrus notes in the aroma. Tart, fruity with distinctive lactic sweetness.

Deep canary gold.
Blueberry cream cheese frosting, mango marshmallow gummies, lots of vanilla creamsicle, lemon curd.
Med bodied and popping acidity. Soft, but well carbonated.
More citrus acidity than in the nose with tangerine and apricot. Fleshy mango and guava soda. Last nite oatmeal with mandarin, toasted almonds, and blueberry.

L -- Opaque yellow-gold body with a scant finger of solid white head produced with moderately aerated pour. Some retention and minimal lacing
S -- Vanilla yogurt, coconut, pineapple, mango, mixed berry
T -- Pineapple, mango, guava, maple syrup, vanilla, orange juice, lemon candy, hint of leafy bitterness. The hop character is not particularly pronounced, but damn this stuff is tasty
F -- Medium- mouthfeel, medium+ carb. A bit prickly, but super refreshing and drinkable
O -- These Boston-area drops of Hudson Valley are such a treat. I love this hybrid IPA/kettle sour thing
88/100
