A bit rancid for something so aromatic. I love jalapeño and mangoes, but the taste of this beer is like sour jalapeño juice with over ripen mangoes. Just a terrible beer!

Appearance - Pours slightly hazy and light orange in color with an off-white, finger width head. Sub-par retention before dying down to a thin, broken layer of suds and a broken ring around the edge of the glass. A small handful of spots make up a mostly non-existent lacing.

Smell - Fresh cut jalapeno aroma hits the nose first, then an underlying mango sweetness. Hints of caramel and citrus come through as the brew warms.

Taste - Follows the nose. Raw, freshly cut jalapenos battling it out with fresh mango juice, while hints of caramel malt and citrus hoppiness serve as the battleground.

Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carobation. Slick, smooth drinker with a mostly easy finish. Light burn from the jalapeno attacks the tongue and back of the throat, but not terribly so.

Overall - Supposedly they used the same recipe as their Gnar-Gnar but added jalapenos and mango to create this spicy concoction. It's an interesting brew for sure, and tasty at that.
