    What IPA's have you tried with a tropical, juicy and/or mango taste?

    I dont know if i would call them mango Ipa's, but for me both enjoy by from stone and Racer 5 by bear republic were very tropical tasting.

    Sixpoint Hi-Res and Evil Twin Molotav Cocktail were both very sweet and fruity (hoppy) for me. My tastebuds suck though, so take it for what it's worth.

    Chillwave. But it should be getting a bit long in the tooth by now. Probably at the edge of it's drink by.

    Bell's Two Hearted can come off that way at times. So many other IPAs really
    pack an orange zest/grapefruit taste to me. I suggest Odells IPA, Three Floyds
    Zombie Dust, and Four Peaks Hop Knot (AZ) if you can access any of those. One
    more is Deep Ellum IPA (TX). The tastes on these can vary from batch to batch, and
    from tap to bottle/can.

    Not sure about evil twin but Hi-res i will definitely be able to get. I'm trying to stay away from Fruit beers almost everyone i have had were awful or too sweet.

    Wish i could change the title. Not exactly looking for a mango ipa but more tropical with some mango, orange, kiwi taste. I am always looking for Enjoy by

    I don't necessarily agree with the Enjoy By or Racer 5 recommendations but everyone's palate is different.

    Schlafly Tasmanian IPA
    Cigar City Jai Alai
    Deschutes Fresh Squeezed
    Ithaca Flower Power

    Oh i know chillwave is tropical but like you said it only has 2-3 weeks left. I only have one bottle left and my local has about 3 cases left.


    Odells, Four Peaks and Zombie Dust (need this beer) are out of my reach. Same with Deep. East Coast sucks.

    King Sue was the most mango-y IPA I've ever had. I've had a lot of "Tropical Fruit" flavored IPAs, and King Sue was the one where it was most obviously "mango" flavor.

    Troegs has a pretty solid one. Although it's not an IPA, Night Shift's new Whirlpool is a nice sessionable pale ale with lots of tropical fruit flavors.

    Victory Dirt Wolf is insanely tropical, especially this last batch.

    I find CCB Jai Alai to be quite mango-rific

    Have you tried CCB Dry Hopped on the High Seas? I found it to have some mango flavors.

    I should mention i am currently in NJ for 1 1/2 months. So CCB is out of the questions until then

    So far the only beers mentioned i can obtain without trade are
    Sculpin (have 4 bottles left anyway)
    Hi-Res
    Dirt Wolf (the batch i had was awful)
    Centennial IPA
    Flower Power

    Smuttynose Finest Kind IPA is huge on citrusy grapefruitishness... and just may have one of my all time favorite labels as well

    I find heady to have a lot of mango and pineapple flavor. I ordered a Hawaiian Shave Ice with mango and pineapple syrup and it was like eating frozen heady topper.. Yes, it was very delicious.

    Sculpin and Deschutes Fresh Squeezed seem like good candidates here

    In what way, if you don't mind my asking? If it was 'oniony' then you probably have a palate sensitivity to some of the hop compounds and just taste them that way; if it was something else you probably just got some bad or poorly treated bottles.

    I had one last night (Best By Sept 7(?) 2014) and it was the best one I've had yet.

    I can see not wanting to take a chance again on something that has already burned you, but it kind of comes with the territory every now and then.
