Draft... Clear yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma is understated, but I do pick up traces of mango, peach and earthy hops. Medium-bodied with tickling carbonation. The flavor tilts heavily toward the sweet side of balance, but it also offers a delicate, rindy, bitter component. There is far more fruit in the flavor than the aroma and, as with the bouquet, I’m finding more mango than peach. Finishes crisp, fruity, lightly sweet and mildly tangy. Solid cream ale.

On draft at CCB, poured a cloudy yellow color aromas of light grain, tea, troical fruit, and some light honey. Flavors follow suit, no mango, some bitterness, interesting overall, didn’t do it for me.

Pours a hazy-ish yellow. Nose is peach tea, hints of tropical fruit. Flavor is pretty astringent, the tea really adds a weird bitterness and almost adds fake sweetener flavor. Mango is hard to pick out. Not bad at first, but it really wears on you.

Tap at CCB. Aroma is mainly light grain and some hops. Citrus notes and a honey-like aroma. Pour is orange/yellow with a thin white head. Tastes just like the nose but with a touch of discernible mango. I liked this a lot for what it is but couldn’t get much peach or mango in either the nose or the aroma. Refreshing and nice nonetheless.
