Cask at RnH for Cigar CIty Event. Pours a delicious hazy orange body. Aroma is mango and citrus hop. Taste is sweet mango, citrus notes, some fruity and citrus hop. Delicious ipa

Location: Cask at Rattle ’N Hum, 2/20/10

Aroma: Lots of citrus hops, mango, toasted malts
Appearance: Dark orange cream-sickle look to it
Flavor: Deep fruit juice sweet and hoppy flavor profile
Palate: Medium body, creamy and smooth from the cask
Overall Impression: This is some pretty good stuff has a nice fruit juice feel to it, but with a good hop bitterness there too to balance out the sweetness. I like the way this one worked quite a bit, and it was really good on cask.

From a cask at RnH. Very nice bittersweet blend of flavors. Warm finish. A bit of mango and esters. Very nice!

On cask at R & H. Pours a murky rusty orange brown caramel with a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of citrus, light mango and hops. Taste of citrus, light mango and hops.

From growler pouring copper with gold edges and modest white head. The aroma is full of sweet tropical fruit notes with lesser amounts of sharp citrus hops, spicy hops and a sweet malt backbone. The taste has a pleasing spicy to near pine to citrus hop bite quickly followed by late boil addition flavor hops and a thin layer of sweet tropical fruitiness. I have to say the last batch of Jai Alai was very good. The hops pop with bitter and flavor hop balance and are held up firmly by a sweet maltiness. This is the hoppiness I really enjoy. Excellent improvement here Wayne. I would be interested to see the Mango treatment with more contact time. As it is now the Jai Alai yumminess swallows up the Mango leaving only tasty hints here and there.

Cask at Rattle n Hum. Poured very cloudy dark amber. Sweet mango nose. Big rich bodied with nice mango notes and solid hops. Some sweetness with a medium bitter finish. Nice.

Entering old rates. Draft @ CCB Fruit in the Room 2010. Profile type de la Jai Alai le tout avec un de mes fruits exotiques préférés. Mangue est présente sans être pour cela trop au top. Un bon traitement de cette bière qui montre encore une fois son côté versatile pour le côté tropical. La mangue n’est certainement pas trop en avant et reste discrète et juste assez pour laisser le profile IPA faire son effet.

Dark orange, white creamy head. Soft tropical fruit and grassy citrus aromas throughout. Bitter dry mango-citric flavors ride a light sweet earthed backbone. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter finish. A great beer to enjoy in full Florida sunshine…

Cask @ Rattle n’ Hum, NYC. Pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is pine hops, a bit of wood, slight yeast, and a little mango thrown in as well. Taste is an interesting combination of the fruity sweetness and the pine hop bitterness - with a lingering mango finish that melds nicely with the hops. Mouthfeel is smooth, alcohol barely noticeable. I liked it.

Draft. Pours an amber and copper toned body with a light white head. Hoppy with citrus and i suppose mango tones, dry grass y body with some light pine and a dry bittering grass y finish. A nice dry ipa.
