On tap at The Beer Research Institute, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is actually fairly subdued on the mangos, with some resinous hops. Flavour is big on the mango, though it comes across as rather muted and like it's fuzzy mango skin or something. Low in the hop character. A bit muffled. Decent but needs work.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a somewhat murky deep copper body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up some brighter grapefruit like citrus hop notes alongside smooth sweet tropical fruit mango goodness with a faint earthy hoppiness at the edge of the experience. The taste is both smooth and bright with hops much like noted in the nose. Bitter grapefruit hops get bear hugged by smooth deep mango tropical fruity yum. Wow. Solid balance and depth and a pleasing degree of hoppiness that fills in all of the gaps in the fruity sweetness with spikes of bitter grapefruit notes.
