Pours a clear, golden yellow, with big, pillowy, lasting head. Aromas of tropical fruit and some citrus, some pine/spruce hops. Flavor is tropical fruit, with some hop-pine bite in the finish. Slightly sweet. I wasn't as put off by this as some raters here were.

On tap at Coalhouse Pizza, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out cough syrup, tropical fruits, resinous hops and a bit of butter. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with lots of tropical fruits, cloying cough syrup, and a little butter. Ruined by the butter and cloying sweetness. Very flawed and undrinkable.

This brew is a cloudy orange color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Stringy lacing on the glass. Tropical fruit, hops and malt in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of citrusy hops, mango and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Enjoyed from bottle after a show at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago, IL. I didn’t take tasting notes, but remember this one being a really good, unique brew with a strong bitterness and definite tropical fruit notes, especially the mango. Would definitely have again.

22oz bottle pours a very hazy yellow with some fluffy, white head. Nose has a mix of dried citrus peel and tropical fruit, the mango is there but almost a dried/dusty mango peel, lemon, straw, grapefruit. Flavor has a lot of pithiness, perhaps a bit past? Plenty of lemon, tropical fruit and grass. Spritzy finish.
