19.2 oz. can from a gas station. Pours a hazy gold color with an off-white head and great retention. Very good lacing. As expected, the mango aroma dominates. Brief initial mango flavor, interrupted by booze, making for a harsh finish. Not too good, yet better than their other Beer Hug varieties. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Too boozy.

12 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and good retention. Good lacing. Very faint citrus aroma (if anything). Generic beer flavor overall with just a hint of hops in the finish. No real blonde ale characteristics. It's smooth and clean and easy to drink. It just lacks any character. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. Okay.

12 oz can from Total Wine - Naples, Florida. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a bright white head and good retention. Very little lacing. Faint pale malt aroma. Fairly generic light lager flavor with a grainy finish. No off flavors, but pretty light overall. Macro-like. Light body. High carbonation. Very low bitterness. Clean and crisp. Not bad.
gave a cheers!

12 oz. can from Publix. Pours a hazy gold color with a thick ivory head and great retention. Very good lacing too. Mixed pine and pineapple aroma. The taste is similar to the aroma: Grapefruit notes up front with piney hops in the finish. Mellow bitterness for 48 IBUs. And the 8.0% ABV is pretty well hidden too. Not my style, but MUCH better than their Hazicus Maximus. Medium body and medium carbonation. Restrained bitterness.

12 oz. can from Publix. Pours a hazy deep gold color with a khaki head and very good retention. Good lacing. Grapefruit juice aroma. A little grapefruit flavor that's quickly washed away by the 9.0% ABV finish. For a hazy IPA, the flavor is more chemical versus juicy. Is that from the terpenes? Orange sherbert and stonefruit notes? No! At least the 65 IBUs are more hidden than I expected. Medium body. Oily texture. Medium-light carbonation. Moderate bitterness. Tick.
gave a cheers!

16 oz can from Total Wine - Naples, Florida. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold color with a white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Resinous hops aroma. The taste follows the nose: Resinous hops flavor with a moderately bitter finish. Tastes like an IPA to me. Medium body and medium carbonation.

16 oz can from Total Wine - Naples, Florida. Pours a semi-clear yellow-gold color with a thick white head and good retention. Decent, scattered lacing. Standard pale lager aroma with some very faint citrus notes. The taste follows the nose: Sturdy pale malt base beer with some very light citrus notes in the finish. Smooth, clean, and slightly sweet. Very easy drinking. Medium body and lighter than average carbonation. Not bitter. Good beer.
