Pours a darker yellow/orange than normal. Aroma is mango and melon with a hint of citrus. Taste is mainly mango with sweetness. Well balanced beer, very crushable. Hop notes are minimal with very little bitterness or bite. From Safeway in Hazel Dell. Rated 1-28-2024

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours hazy, orange gold in color with one inch head. Taste is big mango and light citrus hops. Medium body, slightly bitter, moderate carbonation. Wow is this a great beer. Plenty of mangoes, plenty of citrus hops. A crusher.

12oz canned on 06/23/23 and served in a pint glass. Real hazy appearance, sludgy yellow-orange. Mild fruity aroma with a deceptively bitter, almost traditional IPA flavor profile, but then the distinctive tropical flavor of barely-ripe mango punches through. Pretty cool American IPA profile with enough fruit to have flavor, but not enough to turn it into a fruit beer, or some fruited NE IPA.

From Liquor Shed in Casper, canned June 9th 2023.

It pours a hazy dark yellow/light orange with a 2 finger head of foam, very good lacing.

The smell is mango, grapefruit, fruit pits, light toasted malt.

The taste is really big with the mangoes, pitted fruits, has a bitter edge in the finish, mild sweetness, toasted malt is very hard to discern.

Good mouthfeel, good IPA.

I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a slightly hazy orangish with very thin white ring head that did not leave any lace. The scent had subtle mango notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base with mango and pineapple presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Older can, poured into wide mouth grip shaped goblet: color is straw gold and hazy but not dense, head is off white and presents less than a half inch thick, head dissipates to ring and some spots on the glass.

Smell is moderate fruit with light mango and citrus pith, not overly mango'd (good thing) and then some light light malt and neutral and citric hops.

Taste is similar - moderate fruit with mango and citrus, moderate hops with citrus and pith and earth, malt is sweeter and hard to distinguish with the mango.

Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness, lingering sweet/bitter balance.

Overall a fruited IPA that is not overdone - mango is noticeable but not punishing, though base malt or any malt is hard to distinguish.
