473mL can, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals faded mangoes, some wheaty notes, light acidity, and a very gentle wild yeast profile. Flavour is likewise quite restrained -- it's not obvious that there's mango in here, though it seems like there's some sort of acidic citrusy fruit character. There's a hint of tartness, mild acidity, and all in all, not a whole lot of depth. It's refreshing and drinkable, but just not all that interesting. Underwhelming, especially for Little Beast.

Can, from Cask & Barrel. Here we have a mango beer, that for whatever reason I couldn't find in the db. Dullish haze. Not much head. Moderate fruit, and you wouldn't specifically know it was mango. The base isn't all that bright, which is disappointing. It's not a bad beer, but certainly doesn't bring the noise the way I would have wanted.

Bottle from Corti Bros. Pours rose tinted copper with a large frothy near white head. Aroma of tart/cooking cherries with a wood note. Approaching med body. Flavor is tart, woody and cooking cherry. Extremely dry. Tart stands in for bitter. Very good.

Can. The odd premise of this beer is why I bought it, and why I'm a bit scared of it. It has some haze, but it's the unexpected pale blueberry colour that is throwing me for a loop. The aroma speaks to a thin, crackery beer, with a bit of honey. The palate is also disappointing - basic amber ale, underhopped, and the flavours are really timid. It's hard to get anywhere past thin and crackery for me.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear, bright, brassy gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is bready with Saaz grass/spice. Med body. Flavor is bready, but there's lots of Saaz. Heading into the Urquel range of flavor. Dry. Bitter. Excellent.
