Can pour into tulip glass from the source. Appearance is hazy copper with light sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with fair retention and light, spotty lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, pine, grapefruit and light herbs. Taste is initial sweet citrus and light herbs, middle is orange creaminess (reminiscent of the orange creamsicle referenced so often), and end is grapefruit. Light alcohol. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with creamy texture, soft-to-average carbonation with mostly sweet, with light bitter balance, finish. Overall, a sweet, juicy, flavorful IPA with some balance. Good.

Taster pour at Craft Beer Race New Haven. Appearance is a murky light yellow, small head and lacing. Aroma is malt, sweet candy, floral, grass, no discernible mango. Taste is vaguest mango, dominant taste is of crackery malts versus a strong hoppy presence. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and malty finish. Overall, this is OK but did not match the description well.

Taster pour at Craft Beer Race New Haven. Appearance is greenish-yellow with mild sparkle, huge head and lacing. Aroma is vegetal, herbal, danky hops. Taste is as aroma at start but with distinct pilsner-like malt quality at tale end. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft-to-average carbonation and dry, bitter finish. Overall, the herbal hops are more noticeable than fruit/spice but is a flavorful beer with some balance.

Can pour from the source into IPA glass. Appearance is cloudy canary yellow (almost like orange juice), finger-width foamy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, orangey citrus. Taste is tropical fruit, citrus, mild pine. Palate is light bodied, with thin, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish sweet as taste. Overall, a nice tasty, fruity IPA. Low bitterness and no malt presence for balance but good.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light, semi dry and has a reasonable fine carbonation. Sweet pale malts, rich. Hop spice. Mango and orange peel, marmalade. Light floralness. Semi dry finish. Spicy linger. Good one.
