Super pale golden coloured body with a nice, thick three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of ginger root, alcohol, light funky malts and a dose of fruits with pears, apples and mangoes all showing through. Medium-bodied; Assertive funky and grainy flavour at first with a bit of corn and specialty grains noticeable coupled with some mangoes, a lot of ginger root and some other mild spices throughout along with a dose of alcohol and bitterness from some light hops at the very end. Aftertaste shows some pungency from the mangoes and the alcohol, but the bitterness persists from the specialty grains and the mild hop notes near the finish. Overall, a decent beer with some interesting and rather assertive flavours, but the beer never really catches hold and only shines through in terms of alcohol, hops, fruit and the ginger root itself. Not really worth trying unless you love the other Kuka beers or if you love Mangoes. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Columbus Circle), New York on 02-December-2017 for US$2,99 sampled in my hotel room here in New York a few hours later on 02-December-2017.

Draught @ Alewife. Clear dark orange with a greenish tint, small off-white frothy head, mango aroma mixed with hops, low carbonation, grassy hops flavor dominated sweetish taste, longish finish. The influence of mango does not extend to the taste.

This is a pretty good one with a great aroma. I'd love to see others try this combination out, because it seems like it could make for a really great beer.. Here, it is pretty nice, but other than the aroma, it isn't excellent.

Didn't enjoy this as much here as I did at Tap. The pint gets more gingery and buttery as you drink it.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours brownish with an off-white head. Aroma is mango and some citrus, while the ginger is pretty subdued. Taste is sweet and not very bitter. A whole lot of mango. This is definitely an IPA, but a pretty mild one at that.
