Pint can from Beer Run 1/13/21. Clear pale gold, thin fizzy head. Aroma of salt, dank, apple, tropical fruit (not quite mango). Taste is tart dry apple, mango, lemon, salt. Medium bodied, dry. Kinda one note, but thankfully they improved from the original Mangose. Drinkable.

Pint can, TWSP I believe. Clear, almost no color it's so pale. High carbonation, no head. Apple, sweat, mango nose. Tart apple, lightly sweetening as it goes, light other fruit but not specifically mango, hint of saltiness. Disappointing in the lack of other flavors, but not bad at all.

Beautiful pink coloured body with hints of ruby and of course, a very fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of fragrant apples, light raspberries, a touch of tart cranberries (this must be the hibiscus) with a dash of deep pungent citrus that shows through towards the end. Light-bodied; Strong apple and tart flavours dominate, but show a nice and lightly grassy and slightly rustic fruit flavour that shows like a berry, but is a bit more tart and much less sweet. Aftertaste is dry, yet complex, with the tart fruits and floral notes showing through without too much pure apple sweetness, but ends up being very crisp at the end. Overall, a nice enough, very light cider with tons of flavours and a robust complexity that hits the dry and tart notes better than the sweet and appley ones, good for the style and a welcome alternative to most other ciders. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington for US$2,49 on 17-June-2020 sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-July-2020.

Pink color with apple cider aroma. Flavor is sweet and crisp apple with a nice citrus finish. Not overly sweet, leans dry.
