Deep golden coloured pour. Really fruity aroma. Lovely bright tropical and gooseberry type aromas. Zesty and tropical with a great fruit aroma. Tropical hoppiness. Really intoxicatingly delicious. Damn.

[4648-20120812] Tap. Clear mango apricot fruit resin aroma. Slightly hazy, bright orange body with a quick creamy white head. Bitter apricot leafy hops flavour packs a fresh fruity hoppy punch. Medium body is fairly bitter. Delicious and very drinkable. (8/3+/8/4/16) 3.9

At the brewery. Cloudy amber with tall foamy head. Citrusy aroma. Nicely balanced, slightly sweet berries and malt.

2012-08-12. Crisp orange body, modest beige head. 3+ Hoppy aroma has an interesting fruity melange, mango/apricot as per the menu description, also muted citrus and melon notes. Flavour is similarly quite fruity, apricot with melon like sweetness, mild malt below. Smooth average bodied palate, light carbonation. This likely would have fared better had I tried it prior to the Monogamy which was more in line with what I was looking for today. Enjoyable but a bit simple at times. On tap at Bellwoods, Toronto

robinvboyer (2576) - Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 19, 2012
On tap at the brewpub. Hazy orange pour, with a small white head. Great citrus hop aroma, with a slight vinous white wine quality mixed with a lovely trpical fruitness, and a slightly earthy mango note. Soft carb, solid mouthfeel. Tangy citrus finish, with more of that great tropical fruit note, with a bitter mango finish, a masterpiece!

Une belle place bondée. Une attente de quelques minutes pour une place sur la mezzanine. Une robe de couleur dorée et voilée. Une tête et une dentelle de très bon calibre. Un nez pleinement touché par la mangue et les abricots. Des céréales grillées dans les replis fruités. Une bouche de grains toastés et de fruits délicatement touchés par la douceur. Des houblons qui mordent mes papilles. Une bouche de moyenne densité avec des bulles qui sont en forme. Une texture qui me semble être crémeuse. Une finale sur des notes amères et étonnament chaudes. Excellente première proposition.

Tap to snifter Aroma of caramel, flowers, and grapefruit. Cloudy amber with negligible head. Tropical fruit, lychee, grapefruit, and apricot flavours up front with a wonderful long lasting bitterness.

This is great for a fruit beer. Excellent hoppy bitter blend with the fruity tastes. This is everything a fruit beer should be, subtle on the fruit, heavy on the hops and malty taste. Helps that its fruity Kiwi hops. Apricot is definitly there in the aroma as well. Nice bitter aftertaste. Some sweet malt as well and mango haning around. On tap at bellwoods brewpub.

On tap at Bellwoods, 2nd day of release. Medium orange bodied, with a little white lace, virtually no head. Mild pleasant fruit aroma. Some up front hops, mango fruit mid-sip, and a little acidity from apricots in the finish. Fuller mouthfeel. Satisfying, good summer beer. Fruit sugar residual.
