16 oz. can from Trader Joe's. Roasty stout malt nose right under the can tab. Pours a deep brown color, with a fizzy tan head that dissipated in just a few seconds. Extra bubbles along sides of the glass, adding to prickly effervescence. No overwhelming fruit blast, just a nice peach notes that does play well with the roast malts.

Can from TJ's Downers Grove. Golden, slightly hazy pour with a bubbly head. Yes, some mango on the nose, with mild hop aroma. Mango is not much different in taste from a mango type hop. Kind of a lactic aftertaste on my palate. Citrus notes coming in after a while. Happy, slightly fruity IPA, with well-hidden alcohol.
