On tap at Draught Industries in Beacon, NY.

This one pours a very hazy looking bright orange color, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This essentially smells (and tastes) like pure Goya mango nectar. Drippy, drippy mango is by far the dominant aroma here - there's nothing else, really.

It's kind of absurd that this isn't brewed with mango or any other fruit - it's ridiculously juicy and drippy, with very little bitterness. It tastes good, but it's just honestly too intensely juicy and saturated - even just a little bit of bitterness would really help here.

This is thick, and lightly carbonated, and just drinks like actual nectar.

This is definitely tasty, and I'm sure it'll go over well with lots of drinkers, but it's honestly a little too much for me.
