On tap at the brewpub. Pours a near clear gold with a slight peach hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has mango and pineapple with some melon and light sweet grains underlying. Flavor combines mango and melon with a bit of bitter pineapple and a sweet grain backbone.

Can from Beer 52 – drunk at home. Pours a cloudy pale lemon, with a vigorous frothy white head. Sweet lemon and lime in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy, with very little bitterness. Some mango and tropical fruits in the flavour, and laterv on some lemon too. Slight bitter lemon in the finish. Pretty bland to say the least.

[355ml can from Beer52 at 5.8% ABV.] A cloudy straw coloured pour with a dense white head; mango aroma; slightly under ripe mango taste; and a dry finish with a gentle bitterness. A pleasant APA.

Thin beige head left a spotty cover on a hazy golden coloured body. Fruity mango & tropical fruit aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & soft with sharp lively clean back. Mango, bitter hops, citrus & grapefruit tastes with a long tangy finish. Refreshing
