    Not sure precisely what you can get in NJ,some of these you may need to seek out if you're interested, but Gandhi bot, Jai Alai, Pseudo sue and Lagunitas sucks all come to mind.

    Troegs Triple Mango. Sixpoint Bengali has some mango but don't serve it too cold.

    While not an IPA, rather a DIPA, I'd suggest Great Lakes Chillwave. Not sure about GLBC distro in your area, and it is a seasonal release (late winter?). However, I get a lot of rich tropical fruit up front.

    I just read some recent reviews and many suggested that it was heavy with citrus flavors. I know that some don't differentiate between citrus and tropical, but I use citrus to describe that bitter zest of grapefruit, orange, etc. Maybe even some of the acidic tartness inherent in citrus fruit. That isn't how I use interpret tropical though. I taste the tropical fruits (mango, papaya, pineapple,...) as having a rich, honey-like sweetness. That is what I predominantly taste in Chillwave. Take that for what it's worth...not much :wink:

    Fresh (within 1 month) Clown Shoes Space Cake is really mango-forward, IMO.

    Dipas welcome too. I have seen chillwave still around here. But id be skeptical because idk it was seasonal so now i may stay away while to get it fresher

    If you are willing to drive to Tired Hands in Ardmore Alien Chruch is pretty mango/tropical fruit forward and Mago Tago is brewed with mangos, still haven't tried Mago, but it has a lot of hype and TH just got a lot of mango last week.

    I would definitely stay away until next release. I had one recently and it just wasn't a good representation of the beer from a few months ago. It wasn't really bad, just not a good representation of Chillwave while fresh.

    More or less Mangos taste like peaches. They taste the same in a Pie too.

    Whenever they finally expand production and make it out of the state, Creature Comforts Tropicalia is a juicy mango bomb, especially around 3-4 weeks of age. Should be pretty easy to trade for on a shelf4shelf basis (only about $10 a six pack in its distribution area).

    I get quite a bit of mango flavor from Pliny, Hop Stoopid, Jai Alai and Sculpin.

    I've always thought Founders IPAs have very nice tropical mango/pineapple flavors, particularly All Day. If you can get your hands on some New Glarus, Moon Man pale ale tastes very similar.
