    Their Mago-Tago is a mango-y, juicy IPA with a delicious sticky sweet mouthfeel. Loved it.

    If and when you get a chance...I thought Hi-Res from Sixpoint carried a good amount of guava and mango alongside good times.

    You're in Florida. Cigar City makes a mango ipa that occassionally gets sent out in kegs to various bars in the state.

    Long Trail Limbo IPA resembled Hawaiian Punch to me.

    Try Galactica DIPA from Clown Shoes! We get it in Jersey. Also before you leave you gotta try Boat!

    I'll add another vote for jai alai. Tropical bomb to me for sure

    I think you need Cigar City Jai Alai in your life.

    I find Centennial to be much more floral than citrusy....

    Sweeter fruit vs say grapefruit IPA's without being sweet in and by itself- Hop Drop/ Two Hearted/ Racer 5/ Alpine Nelson/ Centennial

    It's a DIPA, and it's been a long time since I've had one, but I seem to recall Avery Maharaja as being a mango bomb.

    Spring House Brewing Company makes a mango IPA called The Astounding She Monster, which I really like. You probably won't have much luck finding it outside of Pennsylvania though.

    Definitely at the edge of its drink by. Found one hiding in my fridge with a best by date of 5/13 and it defiitely wasn't all that great. Still solid, but the intense tropical flavor is long gone. Definitely a great recommendation when fresh, but i wouldn't buy any more bottles this season... it should be discounted if it is still around because it isn't the same beer at this point.

    As for recommendations, the ipas you are looking for are hard to come by. They need a certain makeup of hops and must be extremely fresh. I got tons of melon as well as peaches, mango, pineapple and strawberry in Dreadnught. Buy it if you see it, only hangs around for about a day around here. Also if you ever make it to Columbus, Bohdi DIPA is probably the best beer in the state and one of the best examples of a DIPA you'll find. It's a wonderful mesh of hop flavors.
