marcus (918), Sacramento, California, USA Feb 22, 2008 This golden ale poured with a fluffy white head and a floral aroma. If this was intended to replace "watered down beer, " they surely didn’t succeed - it’s so thin you can see through it. There is a slight fruit flavor (mango?) and a slightly bitter hop finish, the key word being "slight." mshieldsm (2), Davis, California, USA does not count Feb 18, 2008 Light, refreshing, highly fruity, distinct mango flavor, smooth finish, relatively sweet, recommend cold beermeashiner (8), USA does not count Oct 26, 2007 From the bottle on my honeymoon: hint of mango? Pretty much all I could taste was the mango. If they are the only two options, go for the Blackbeard. emerica56 (435), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Oct 15, 2007 This a very pourly brewed pale ale. It has a very fast dissapearing head and a cloudy pale orange, amber color to it. It has a very floral and fruity smell with mild hops. As you drink it you expect something very complex yet you are sadly mistaken. It is very fruity with apricot and mango. The palate fades rather quickly leaving a nasty fruit flavor there. mjg74 (1728), La Mesa, California, USA Sep 26, 2007 Bottle from BevMo. Aroma is like a skunked lager somewhat masked by fruitiness. Somewhat refreshing when consumed really cold. Somewhat grainy and bitter with fairly strong fruit character.
