    Lakefront's My Turn: Johnson DIPA. Fresh right now if you can get it. Reminds me of dirtwolf without the 'cat piss' note that people speak of.

    Lagunitas Maximus, one of my favorite DIPA's.

    Wow, thanks for the recommendations guys! Obviously not going to go out and buy every beer on this list in one day but i will make sure to make a checklist out of the beers recommended so far.

    Really wish Great Lakes Chillwave was a year round beer. Most tropical beer i have had so far, but looking forward to Lake Erie Monster since it will be back soon.

    Town Hall Mango Mama was the main reason i asked this question.

    Sculpin is just pure tropical fruit. I love it.

    They usually do a growler only release of mango mama once or twice a year. The last release I know of was something like 45 growlers. They mentioned that you had to buy a ticket for it and later that day they exchanged the growlers for tickets. The last release was sometime around September if I remember correctly. They just expanded their production so who knows how often it will be released.

    I find Lagunitas Sucks to be an absolute fruit bomb and that it definitely has some of that mango flavor you're describing, though you'll have to wait until they release it again.

    I don't think you'll find Hi-Res to be fruity tasting. To my palate it is boozy and floral. Great brew, but I really doubt its what you're after

    Going by some of the suggestions here, it is pretty evident that everyones taste differs. I tasted ZERO fruit of any kind in Lagunitas Maximus, yet it was suggested here.

    Personally I found a lot of sweet fruit in Hi-Res.

    Isn't Kiwi Rising a one time only brew from about a year ago? For something they still make try Mass Rising

    Apparently I'm in the minority on this on. Hi-res gets mentioned three more time in the thread

    just mothers day I had
    boxcar brewing company mango ginger IPA
    and
    St Johns tropical mango pale ale.
    but I honestly wouldnt recommend either of them to anyone cept a high school chick enjoying twisted tea.

    I've never smelled more mango on a beer than on Focal Banger.

    That's true about tastes differing, but I do get a hell of a lot of pineapple (grilled pineapple, to be precise :wink:) and orange juice in Maximus, so it seems to be a good suggestion on my end.

    Wolf in the Weeds! I think it is from Golden Road. Like biting into a fresh mango. Almost disconcertingly so!

    Jack's Abby Mass Rising is way, WAY up there for me on the mango/tropical scale. I realize it's an IPL not an IPA but it nails this kind of flavor for me.
