Hazy amber. Aroma is mango butter slight caramel some hoppy stuff. Taste is bitter herbal hops with much mango flesh. A bit fatty. Like biting into a ripe fresh mango. Satisfaction. Hoppy lemony finish. Not totally balanced but as a german who rarely gets fresh ipa this is very nice.

On tap at Urban Basement, pours a cloudy dark orange with a medium white foamy head. Aroma is subdued, with lots of soapy, floral hops and dry biscuity malt. Very soapy, too much so. Meh.

On tap at Urban Basement, pours a hazy golden copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma brings out floral hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is very soapy, with detergent, floral hops and dry biscuity malt. Tastes like the lines haven't been cleaned properly. Very soapy and detergent-heavy. No good.

On tap at Rogue Saigon, pours a hazy dark copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma is a touch sweet, with light cereal malt. Flavour is lightly sweet, with cereal malt sweetness and I guess some cashews in there. Not sure what they were going for here, but it's not anything special. Timid beer.
