Can from TJ's Downers Grove. Golden, slightly hazy pour with a bubbly head. Yes, some mango on the nose, with mild hop aroma. Mango is not much different in taste from a mango type hop. Kind of a lactic aftertaste on my palate. Citrus notes coming in after a while. Happy, slightly fruity IPA, with well-hidden alcohol.

Bottle split at Level 6, thanks to Kenny, 05/09/18. Lightlyhazed golden orange with a decent off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is sweet malts, bitter orange, grass, pineapple chunks. Taste comprises caramel, grapefruit, orange peel, toasted malts, soft breads, honeydew melon. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with juicy hop bitterness. Ok DIPA but a touch old skool and lacking hop delivery for me.

Draft. An unclear yellow beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, fruits, and hops, leading to a bitter finish.
