Great looking can poured to a great looking beer, picturesque with a golden body and two fingers of firm white foam.
Aromas are few but intense, almost exclusively pine and mango. Intense pine resin that one would expect from a dipa, tonnes of juicy mango and some lychee in the end.
The beer is medium to heavy bodied, it feels medium at first but starts to take on a heavier, more syrupy feel towards the end. There was carbonation at the beginning, I think this was providing the balance, but this slowly faded and it's absence is what makes you feel the difference.
Taste starts with walls of intense pine resin which is contrasted with the intense, fermented mango. Lychee and melon are present too in smaller amounts but the longer this is out of the can, the more intense the mango becomes, hand in hand with the body becoming more syrupy.
Stsrted well but seemed abit deflated and synthetic by the end.
