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.

The taste is smooth, rich, bitter - sweet, juicy sticky, pine, resin, drying astringency, stewed peach and candy with a dry, sweetish finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not bad.
