Nice, fairly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall pure white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of grasses, light tropical fruits, a dash of hay and some softer fruit notes of apples and pears, all ending with a pleasant mango bite and a touch of bitterness from the grassy hops. Light to perhaps Medium-bodied; Strong mango flavour at first with a big fruit profile showing through, some softer grain and malt components, but a dry and herbal flavour of both the malt and hop side of things make for a pleasant relief when the fruits and citrus hit, but the mangoes mostly show through and a touch of of fructose towards the end with a dry profile. Aftertaste deep and drying with the mango flavours definitely showing through in a good way, but somehow overpowering the hop elements. Overall, a nice and refreshing beer with a good dry and grassy punch that finishes well and fruity - nice to sample and a good execution of fruits with hops. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Wegman's in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 26-May-2019 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 10-June-2019.

Pretty nicely done. Has the vibe of some hops varieties that naturally taste like tropical fruit. Amber pour with decent head. Mango and light pine. Can.

12oz can, canned on 08/09/16, poured into tulip glass. Looks to be a filtered beer, orange color, meidum head. Generally speaking, like the mango. It’s light, authentic, and natural. Unfortunately, it’s a bit too bitter centric and the hops aren’t fruity enough. Fruity beer but too much bitterness.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a dark caramel-orange color with a medium sized creamy orange-white head that left exceptional lacing. The aroma was bitter and dryish with grapefruit and mango. The flavor was bitter and tangy grapefruit, mango, a dry middle then vague tropical fruit and a hint of toasted caramel. Long dry and bitter grapefruit and mango finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

Pours dark bronze into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel and toffee aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and mango upfront turning to mango before the lasting bitter pith finish.
