Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is mango. Not quite med body. Flavor is mango, but banana and clove is present. I wouldn’t recommend this as a hefweizen, but would as a pleasant and refreshing beer. Fairly dry and not bitter - but the clove helps with that.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a floral and orange peel hop. Flavor is a decent fruit hop with a bready pop from the maris otter malt. Decent malt/hop combo with new world fruity hops and old school malt. Solid and tasty.

Pour is a hazy straw with a large white head. Aroma is pretty much all mango. Flavor is a mango with a big bitterness. While I love mango this was way one dimensional as this is all about the mango. Not that this a bad thing especially if you like mango like I do.

Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a slight white head. Aroma indicates it’s trying to be dank and piney/citrus. Med body or so. I call light dank. Flavor is citrus, fruit and I think pine. It’s not quite dry, it’s very hoppy, and it approaches bitter dankness. Nice to drink.
