Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow to copper color with a light transparency about it closer to the sides of the glass; two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light mixed citrusy to semi-floral and a touch of sweet mangoes; light biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet to a slight hoppy bittersweet quality; finishes mixed citrusy and the long lingering sweet mango tone
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of stickiness
Overall: it's somewhat good, I think, but some of the stickiness doesn't make this as enjoyable as it could have been. I had high hopes but this isn't a total failure - it just needs something to rough up that feel.

Pours a nice hazy amber from a can. Big mango and passionfruit aroma with a subtle pine background, flavor is treacly sweet, like eating melted mango sorbet. Good beer.

16 oz. can. Purchased at Ball Square Fine Wine, Somerville. Canned on 3-28-18. Stamped "398 Years" next to the date. Aroma is baked bread, light floral, and weak fruit. Flavor is a bit heavy on the sweet malt. The hop try's to balance it and almost does.
