Overall: Fantastic haze here. This one showcases the Idaho 7 well with the mango flavor. Also shows up with the grapefruit and green citrus flavor. Dynamic flavors here because the mango wants to make it tropical and sweet, but the citrus keeps is lighter and cleaner. It allows it to drink very balanced. Dangerously drinkable for the 8.4%. Flavors and mouthfeel about as good as it gets here. BlackStack has been turning it up recently. (Rating: 4.35)
