Big mango aroma with just a hint of burn from the peppers. Flavor leans more sweet than spicy with some natural pepper flavor. Would like a little more heat.

7

Great caramel sweetness, well balanced with semisweet apple.

Draft at Tap99. Poured a very clear ruby red color with a small white head. Aroma was big berries. Very jammy. Strawberries, raspberries, with some blackberry. Pretty tasty jammy notes.

Single from 604. My rating seems to have evaporated & not transferred over.

Clear, medium gold, fizzy & quick to settle head.
Sugar sweet, malic nose.
Taste is simple syrup, red apples, added malic acid, brown sugar.
Soda texture, extra acid can't cut through how rich it is.

Leaning in a better direction than then majority of their portfolio.

Pours a clear deep gold and smells of strawberries and cucumbers. Tasty strawberries lead the flavor. There’s also apples and mild cucumber. It has good fruity flavor though it’s a bit too sweet. Nice summery drink.
