On the nose, blind would have said barleywine. Boozy, dried fruits, caramel. But drinks like the Russian imperial that it is. Dried cooking chocolate, thick. Touch of spice

Tap at Trailside Tap, Ankeny. Hazy gold with a thin ring of foam I kind of expected a POG nose, but then the mango is definitely there, too. Taste is actually fruit-forward, with some gentle lactic tartness right up there. Nice combination that's kind of like orange juice in a mimosa.
