A light Caribbean pale ale with a hint of mango fruit on the nose and in the taste. Brewed with natural mango for a one of a kind unique flavor.

Served on tap at the World of Beer near Tampa Palms FL.

Pours clear golden yellow, completely see through. Thin. Wisps of white foam.

Smell is powerful mango. Fruit bursts forth.

Taste is light - watery, with an overload of fruit. Sickly sweet.

Light; easy to drink in one sense. But very sweet. A taster size is good enough.

Had several of these while in St. Thomas recently. Pretty good, surprised by poor reviews.

Drank from tap at brewery in St John's. Super fresh. Two fingers+ of foamy head that slowly recedes with plenty of great lacing. Strong smell and taste of mango on the fore front; while advertised as "subtle" it is anything but such. Decent malt backing that stands up to the mango, though it is overpowered. Decent.

Had two of these, one bottle, one can, while in St. John

not much mango in the aroma or taste, more just a decent generic pale ale - light malt flavor, a touch of citrus . thin to medium bodied. easy drinking

Had this at a local place (skinny legs) and it's now considered their seasonal summer ale and it has quite an unmistakable mango flavor; very mangoey. It's typically not my thing, but my wife actually liked it and her aunt said it had too much of a mango flavor. So, if this is your thing (a mango ipa) then they nailed it. And at 4.5% alcohol, you can drink a pile of them.

A slightly hazy golden color with a medium white head. Aroma was striking with sweet mango and nothing else. Same on the taste. Otherwise it was a well made beer. Crisp and clean. Not sure how the fruit was added here but it seemed overdone and even like artificial flavoring.

Great beer for day on beach. Not too heavy with hint of mango flavor. All the feels of the island it comes from.

It pours amber with a small soft head. The aroma is of candied tropical fruit. There is mango in there but the kind of mango that is processed and somewhat "artificial". The taste is fairly similar to the nose and for most part it is sweet with hardly any hop (or other) bitterness.

A few months back I was traveling and I tried a Japanese beer of the same flavor, I have since forgotten the name of said beer but I tried this one looking for that same feeling I got when I was on the road.

This pale ale has a very strong, sweet, and perfume(y) taste. I tasted zero hops and all fruit. This was not a problem for my wife but for me it seems more like a carbonated drink than a brew.
