12 ounce bottle from Woodman's Appleton, 8/22/19. Been about a million years since I had an Atwater beer, much less a new one. But that's the BYO six pack life. It was either this or an Abita. Hazy orange, thin fizzy white head, fair retention. Aroma of a weird dank and acrid note, some mango. Just smells weird. Maybe some peach skins? Taste is mango, wheat, apricot, pale malt. Thankfully tastes much better than it smells. A bit thin, some lingering spice.

Tap bowsers. Clear bright yellow. Mild candy nose. Can't really identify the fruit. Jast a simple beer with interesting sidebar of spice. Smooth to the finish. A bit medicinal in the end, seems like more alky than what it really is.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a murky yellow color with a medium sized foamy white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was mango, apricot, rum and a bit of perfume. The flavor was tangy wit tequila, papaya and mango. Long finish. Medium body.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/9/2016. Pours hazy golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of juicy mango, melon, peach, honey, wheat, cracker, and light herbal/grassy hop earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of mango and pale malt sweetness; with solid strength. Taste of juicy mango, melon, peach, honey, wheat, cracker, and light herbal/grassy hop earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness and fruit tanginess and on the finish; with lingering notes of mango, melon, peach, honey, wheat, cracker, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of mango and pale malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness/fruit tang as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a nice fruited wheat ale. All around good robustness and balance of mango and pale malt sweetness; and very smooth, refreshing, and flavorful to drink for the low ABV. A nicely enjoyable offering.

On tap at HopCat A2. Pours a near clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of very sweet mango with a sweet wheat backbone. Flavor has lots of sweet mango with sweet wheat underlying.

Tap at Sidedoor. Pretty pungent, deep mango aroma. Really bright mango tones. Pretty solid fruit beer, boldly flavored. Mango forward, mild heat balance. Juicy candy mango finish. Pretty good drink.
