16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/25/2019. Pours opaquely hazy/murky orange/yellow/amber color with a 1 finger dense and creamy yellow/orange head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge juicy, lightly tart/tangy mangoes, melon, fruit skin, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red/green apple, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, slight pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of mangoes, lactose, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity/acidic yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy, lightly tart/tangy mangoes, melon, fruit skin, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red/green apple, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, slight pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Very mild fruity/lactic tartness, and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of mangoes, melon, fruit skin, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red/green apple, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, slight pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Great robustness, and balance of mangoes, lactose, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity/acidic yeast flavors; with a solic malt/lactose/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no cloying sweetness after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/syrupy, and slightly acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited milkshake style sour. All around great robustness, and balance of mangoes, lactose, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity/acidic yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally acidic/tangy/drying finish; super soft feel. Insanely huge juicy/jammy mango presence, with solid Lacto complexity; and a large sized lactose and wheat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. Wasn't as impressed as I expected. This is more like a straight up fruit smoothie, than a wild ale; vs previous variants. A very enjoyable and well made offering for what it was otherwise.

(473ml can from Mikkeller General Store) Pours opaque orange-gold like mango nectar with a tiny white head. Aroma of mango nectar and ataulfo mango, pine/mango skin leafiness, light yoghurt, pretty much just fruit here though. Flavour is light, refreshing, with light to moderate sweetness and very light yoghurt tartness. Notes of mango nectar and flesh again dominant, milky, maybe a touch of wheat, mineral into the finish with lingering fruit. Light to medium body and low carbonation. Definitely a refreshing summer brew, one-note and light but it's a good one note.
