Pours hazy mango into a tulip. Off-white head with medium retention recedes to nothing. Mango and chili aromas. Spritzy and sweet with mango, concord grape, and pepper upfront turning to a watery pear and mild chili burn in the medium length finish. I wanted to like this more.

Can says 5.4%. Pours hazy pale yellow into a tumbler. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet banana, coriander and meadow aromas. Medium bodied with sweet bubblegum, bananas flambe and mild meadow front to back and into the medium length finish. Pretty one-dimensional.
