What Our Editors Thought

“Sweet mango candy in the nose, with an almost watermelon back note and a sweet fruit-soda intensity. Very sweet in the sip, but the strong and real fruit grounds it with layers of tropical funk that buffer the sweetness. Bold and inventive.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Bombastic strawberry aroma and flavor assault the senses in a good way, like a sweet, strawberry daiquiri, without a hint of alcohol. This is mock-daiquiri served at prom. A sugary, strawberry Starburst in liquid form. The mango flavors are promptly pushed to the back of the line. A semi-smoothie beer in appearance, texture, mouthfeel, and flavor. They forgot the sour (and the beer!). Ends in a cotton candy–like finish that stays on the tongue.”

What the Brewers Say

“Brewed with strawberries and mangos. Strawberry candy on the nose, followed by flavors of overripe strawberries and juicy mango. Tart and juicy!”
