Covert Artisan Ales Wake Me Up Before You Mango Pastry Sour with mango, vanilla, coconut, banana, marshmallow and white chocolate, 6.9% ABV. Pours pale cloudy orange with a one-finger white head that left no lacing. Nose is sweet, mango, banana, vanilla/marshmallow, and white chocolate. Taste is mango up front then a mashup of coconut, banana, and white chocolate, moderate sweetness, light tartness. Excellent mouthfeel if a bit light on carbonation, overall outstanding.

750ml/25 oz crowler from the brewery, poured into Ploughshare glass.
Pours a hazy and semi-creamy golden body with a half finger of head.
Aroma is strongly reminiscent of wet graham crackers and wet nilla wafers. It then follows with tart mango, funky white chocolate and slight toasted coconut.
Flavor is very sweet at the front, bringing pastry crust, honey, graham cracker, and then some sugared mango, coconut, and finally the white chocolate funk at the back end. But wait - there is a mighty finish on this one. It's of huge pastry crust, tart jammy fruit, and toasted coconut candy (chic-o-stick).
Feel is wet and smooth, slightly under carbonated which helps it drink unabashed; a tart bite along with the quiet tingling carbonation and a very mild alcohol heat.
Overall, this is a pretty stellar sour ale if you are a fan of tart fruit and pastry elements. It does not cloy or go overboard on anything, rather it is a sweet treat in sour format which reminds me *a little* of Edmund's Oast. For South Dakota, it's spectacular.
Also to note, the only other beer I've had with white chocolate was from The Bruery, and that had a similar funkiness to it. It's attractive, but I couldn't do it every day. This humongous can was lovingly finished over a game of darts with my wife and it was the perfect companion.
Price paid : $17 / crowler (roughly 70 cents an ounce, which if it was in a 16 oz format like most pastry sours would roughly be sold for around $10.99 per can)
Would buy again : It's possible, but would like to see what else they have to offer.
