My growing-up hometown brewery puts out this mango flavored brew that simply takes me back to those days...
Once I came out of my reverie I realized that the beer had a decent golden coloration with a white, foamy head that dissipates quickly and has no lacing. The smell was absolutely everything that I like about mangos but unfortunately it did not translate to the taste. Mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had a spicy kick to it as it warmed - unique but not entirely wanted. Overall, I found the beer to be good - not as spectacular as it presented itself to the nose, but definitely a beach beer as advertised.

Nice, drinkable wheat beer. Nothing remarkable, and I wouldn't put it anywhere near the top of its class, but it's perfect for the area and for the Florida summers. Mango really comes through, and I found this beer to be the most enjoyable Miami Brewing option.

You really get a lot of Mango. But is a refreshing drink on a warm day!

Pours a slightly hazed yellow golden color with white head. Wheat tones, some sweet malt on the nose; follows onto the palate. Light bodied. Finishes with more wheat and some little light fruit tones.

super carbonated, mango is nice and it's refreshing... I'd choose this over a lager, so...

I tried the mango wheat ale and a Coconut ale. The mango wheat is a more straight up beer with equal notes of mango and wheat on the nose and palate.
The coconut ale is unique in that is has a very distinct toasted coconut smell and taste with a sharp, slightly bitter finish.
These are both great novelty brews that are difficult to drink more than a couple, but are really nice with Cuban/Brazilian food and is a nice novelty that is unique to Florida and "Salt Life" culture.
Overall it's still hard for me to be a regular buyer of these beers.
