Tropical Mango Pale Ale
St. John Brewers

RB transfer

Appearance:  Enjoyed from 12oz cans in the USVI. The can had an amusing drawing of a palm tree with a spigot on it. Straw color with white foam and a little cloudy.

Aroma:  Spiced mango. Nutmeg, which was a little odd but thankfully absent on the tongue. Tropical fruit candy.

Taste:  Huge pineapple and mango flavors dominate. Mild bitterness, mostly on the aftertaste.

Feel:  Carbonation was a touch light. Sugary stickiness. Light body.

Overall:  A little too sweet and not enough bitterness. Drinks more like a tropical wheat than a pale ale.

It pours amber and clear with an off white head. It has good head retention. It is bready with some tropical elements that include mango and some resinous qualities. It is moderately bitter.

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.
