12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/13/2018. Pours lightly hazy pale golden straw color with a thin white head with poor retention, that reduces to nothing pretty quickly, No lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy mangoes, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, honey, white sugar, black tea, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of mangoes, citrus/earthy hops, tea, and sugar notes; with big strength. Taste of big big juicy/tart/tangy mangoes, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, honey, white sugar, black tea, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, zesty, peppery tea/hop bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy mangoes, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, honey, white sugar, black tea, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of mangoes, citrus/earthy hops, tea, and sugar flavors; with a great malt/bitterness, and tart/tangy fruit balance; with zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/syrupy, and fairly sticky/acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.8%. Overall this is an excellent fruited gluten free beer. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of mangoes, citrus/earthy hops, tea, and sugar flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Great balance of juicy mangoes, tea, and citrus/earthy Cascade hops; with balanced sugars. Light residual sweetness with lingering crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example as expected. No complaints.

Sample at the CCBW Six One Pour festival on 05/12/2018. Clear yellow color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Fruity and herbal nose. Medium body with flavors of mango and mildly herbal hops. The finish is fruity with a mango aftertaste. Decent overall.
