Bottle from Belmont Station, Portland. Pours a cloudy golden orange, medium amount of head. Aroma is definitely very funky, not much mango to be had, though. Body is lively. Finish is more tart than regular It’s Alive!, barrels strong in finish, mango taste comes out a, but only a bit, as beer warms. Fun to drink once, and interesting, but probably wouldn’t spend the money again.
