Interesting smoothie IPA, surprisingly dry for a beer packing this much mango juiciness, with a subtle vanilla undertone that never quite melds with the dry IPA underneath. Still, the citric hops play off the adjuncts with just enough clever dexterity to overshadow any major flaws, and the light sweetness accentuates the gentle biscuit malts. Pours a hazy gold with a thick white head dotted with unexpected yellow spots and tons of lacing. Mango, vanilla, and pine on the nose. Creamy texture makes for an easy-drinking pint. Curious as to what this goop is at the bottom of my pint glass; otherwise, nice beer.
