Slightly hazy pour in its plastic cup. Sweet smell with definite Belgian malts. Taste brings together malt and a bit of candi sweetness, not much bitterness. And a friendly slight burn of alcohol. A great dive bar Belgian.

Smell of roasty malt, not much sweetness in the nose. Brownish black from tap pour, things ring of tan bubbles around the edge. Sweetness comes in at the first taste. Just a bit. Matched to malts with a good black roast that offers notes of chocolate and no harshness. Prickly bubbles like a regular beer from tap.

A 19 oz $3 tallboy from jewel. For my first grill of the season. Pours a bright orange under a thick head. The smell does indeed have some mango, with maybe a little bit of wheat malt to it. The fruity mango taste actually goes pretty well with the rest of the beer. It kind of matches whatever hop additions are in it, which they don't mention on the cam.
