Pours a straw golden with a huge bubbly white head. Aroma of mango and lemon. Taste has plain malt, artificial fruity notes, oddly sweet. Palate has grainy finish, somewhat leathery.

Poured a clear, golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was light mango and peach. Smells like peach rings and fresh mango. Flavor is bland when cold, but hear me out: It opens up after about 30 minutes. Best consumed after letting it warm in room temps for about half an hour. Peach rings, and sliced mango. A bit artificial tasting, but I expected that. Best of the 4 beer variety pack I picked up.

Super crisp, pure golden coloured body with a thick, four to five centimetre tall pure white microfoamed head that fades very slowly. Aroma of mangoes, peaches, apricots, pears and dirt - quite sweet smelling and very fruity, of course. Light-bodied; Dry grassy and very earthy malts dominate at first, but then show a large fruit flavour of especially mangoes and peaches, but some of the apples and stone fruits do come through with a more earthy malt and dry grain characteristic towards the end that shows a tiny bit of sugars. Aftertaste shows a faint hit of wheat along with much stronger earthier malt notes with some nuts evident and alcohol before the fruits hit at the very end with the peaches and mangoes coming to the rescue to some degree. Overall, a very fruity, relatively easy-drinking beer with some complex notes where you might not expect them (the grainy, earthy, nutty malts), but smooth and relatively predictable towards the end with some easy drinking fruits and light sugars to finish it off. Nice to sample and not a bad beer, especially right before the end of summer here and all my kids go back to 'school' in the fake pandemic. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 14-July-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-September-2020.

Yeasty mushroom and peach nose. Clear yellow, thin head. Dry, yeast, mild peach. Light body, moderate carbonation. Very macro-ish. Rather like a spritz of peach flavoring in a Michelob Ultra. Weak.

Bottle, mix pack from TWSP. Very pale gold with a white head. Mango, peach, hair tonic, somewhat artificial aroma , but it still smells nice. Light bread crust, light peach flavoring, light mango flavoring. Lively carbonation. It's not bad.
