27-JUN-2018. Batch 3. Cloudy bright orange, white head. The nose has fresh tropical fruit and citrus hops, but there's a bit too much doughy yeast and eggs over it. The taste has strong hoppy resins, low on malts and not that much fruit, leave alone mango. And that yeast... 6-4-7-4-14=3.5
05-JUN-2017. TAP at Smokehouse. Still good, even better. 3.7/5.
25-MAY-2017. TAP at Smokehouse. New batch! Much hoppier. Murky bright orange, white head. Fresh mango aroma, also some pine, not strong but nice and clean. The taste is dry fruity, some mango, but no real malt sweetness, strong fresh pungent yet soft resiny and zesty bitterness. Some yeasty/pickle dirt in the after taste. Overall, a very good fruity but unsweet IPA. 7-4-7-4-14=3,6
15-NOV-2016.TAP at Smokehouse. Same batch, but different, better carbonated keg. Murky amber, small creamy head. Aroma is mostly mango puree, not sure there’s any hops in there, a tiny bit cheesy. Creamy mouthfeel, with vague fruitiness and very light sweetness, smooth grapefruit pith lingering bitterness. Very nice. 6-3-7-4-14=3,4
12-NOV-2016. PET at home. Very cloudy amber, small head. Smells not as hoppy as it is fruity, in a candy/bubble-gum way, notes of marshmallows and just faint hint of zest. Vague fruity taste, no bright or juicy, notes of stale fruit and bold zesty bitterness. The almost flat carbonation makes it feel thinner than it is. Not bad as it is, but has has a long way to go to become a fruited IPA. 6-3-6-3-13=3,1
