First in a series inspired by the iconic fruit cart vendors of Los Angeles. A light Wheat Ale bursting with lots of fresh mango flavor and aroma, finishing crisp and refreshing.

Mango nose. Christ this is sweet, like candy. its mango juice. Lightly tart. Very mild wheat beer elements, the mango juice really dominates.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
12 oz. can
AROMA: The mango is fairly strong, which makes it hard to discern any other aromas.
APPEARANCE: Pours a slightly cloudy, light lemon color, with a tall, crisp, white head that dissipates slowly.
TASTE: Not really sweet nor is it bitter. A pretty neutral taste, but with a bit of mango flavor.
PALATE: Thin bodied with a dry texture. Carbonation seems lively in the glass but feels flat on the tongue. Finish is short and on the dry side.
OVERALL: The body is just too thin and watery for my tastes. But the level of mango flavor is about what I would want in a beer. It’s not overpowering, yet doesn’t make you search for it either.

Hazy grapefruit juice color with intense tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is mango, pineapple, sweet wheat beer, with a crisp, mild, funky wheat beer finish. Easy drinking.

US Pint, on-tap in a Sports bar on the PCH in Newport Beach. Came headless, very cold, murky orange and highly carbonated. It's a fizzy Mango fruit juice with a bit of alcohol thrown in. Nothing offensive, but a liking of Mango's helps.

For the most part this is fairly clear beer with a big foamy head. Yes, an IPA mango nose. Taste is not as bitter as the nose would indicate, thankfully. Easy bubbly stuff that does not really have any ill ale attributes. Decent co2. Yes, for a wheat ale, this stuff is rather well behaved. Mango does add an odd, but ok feel to this. Probably would not drink another, but not bad for a tick.

Can (Brown bag mystery beer) to shaker at BRGR Kitchen + Bar in Prairie Village, Kansas. The pour is chill haze golden with a small white head that leaves some lace. The aroma is mango juice, pineapple sweetness and underneath the fruit a hint of wheat grain. The taste is mango juice, pineapple juice sweet and only a whisper of the wheat grain. Fruit flavors are natural, which keeps this from cloying. The palate is light bodied, with sweetness in a lingering finish. Decent.

Hazy yellow, moderate white head, ok lasting. Lots of very ripe mango aroma. Somewhat sweet, fruity, later on very ripe mango feeling, slightly spicy touch. Mild bitterness. Fruity aftertaste. Medium light. Lots of mango presence, but lacks some freshness.
