Mango: Clear, filtered, no head. Fruity and tangy aroma. Hops not present in aroma. A pleasant fruity taste present in first sip. Only a tiny amount of hops and barley usesd - appears to be a real fruit beer. If it had higher carbonation I'd call it mango lambic. A slightly astringent aftertaste. Body is thin but style-appropriate. This is a refreshing beer, and a good beginner's beer. It's simple and straight-forward but tasty, if uncomplicated. 8.1

Dirty Dog IPA: Cloudy. Thin head that has some staying power. Body is a little thin for an IPA. Strong hop taste that has a hint of clove to it. There is a strong hop aftertaste. Could use some more malt to balance the hops. 7.8
