Tavour: pours amber with off white head. Aroma is caramel and grain. Taste is sweet. Low bitterness. Very much on the heavily malted side of things.

16 oz can from Beerbox. Pours hazy orange-golden with a one finger cream-white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of pine, crackery malt, overripe fruit. Taste has a light to moderate pithy bitterness backed by minimal sweetness. Very solid straightforward IPA. I’m not getting any mango and I can’t find anything about this supposedly having mango in it like is described in the description here. Maybe that was a one-off variation?
