Mango-Habanero Blonde Ale | 4.7% ABV - Our Hot Blonde is the epitome of a "swicy" swig. The fruity sweetness of the Mango accentuates the subtle tartness of this light-bodied ale, finishing off with a smoldering heat that will challenge you to not take another sip… Choose wisely

Cheap can pour nearly clear pale with a head that fades rapidly to nuttin. Very nice mild sweet tropical fruit nose. First taste is some tropical cocktail can of fruit followed by some distinguishable heat. Not lots of heat, just enough to let you know there is pepper in there. Yes, not much for fruit cocktail flavored beers but the heat in this at least makes it interesting. Has a good level of carbonation that also keeps it compelling. Forget the tropical thing and just keep the pepper catawba! Yes, if I could ditch the tropical fruit thang, this would be a total winner for me. On the finish, the juicy fruit gum tropical thing really starts to get on my nerves but the follow up with the heat keeps me looking for more.

Sample at Grandview Digfest on 06/13/2015: Clear yellow-gold color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily. Strings of lacing. Aroma of melon, peppers and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mango, habenero and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity and peppery with a mild habanero aftertaste. Decent overall.
