Our Mango Even Keel is the ideal beer for easy drinking. This hoppy, session ale gets a flavor boost from mango, which perfectly plays off the citrusy hop bouquet. With fruit, hops, and a low ABV, this beer truly is on another level.

Fine hazed deep golden pour with an off white head. Ok lacing. Good intensity in the aroma. Mango and caramel malt. Hmm….well I did not think that blended to well. Balanced sweetness and an ok tail. My goodness it was a lot of mango here. But it did not blend in very well with that rich caramel malt feeling. Not at all refreshing.

0,355l can at home courtesy of Rob, big thanks. No obvous date. orange hazy color, small white head. smells of tangerines, mango, sticky mango, candy, light marzipan. nice smell but rather on the artificial side. light body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes earthy, vanillaish, pepper, spices, medical, herbal, hints of mango. finishes rather bitter with notes of vanilla, earth and light mango notes. Bit weird one, overall rather artifical flavours, not a big fan of the taste. Just Ok.

12 oz can de Drink Store, Dublin, canned 28/02/2018. Léger orange, col épais crémeux beige. Arôme est plaisant bien axé sur le tropical avec de belles effluves de mangue qui sont vraiment au devant et tirent plus vers un effet purée un peu 'mango pie' et parfum tropical perdurant. Palais est léger fin malté un peu caramel, pâle, le tout sur un effet très frais de mangue rappelant presque un effet de crème glacée. Fini est plutôt sec restant accompagné par les notes tropicales qui s'entrechoquent avec des notes houblonnées virant sur les agrumes.

Ballast Point Even Keel Mango Session IPA 3% Holy shit, this is just 3%? Cool. The aroma is sweet mango cream (lactose?). Light bodied, it starts with a mango cream sweetness before a big bitterness sweeps in with pithy citrus and woodsy pine notes. That sweetness seems a bit like lactose which probably is intended to compliment the mango and thicken up the body but gets to be a bit much. It started off strong but fizzled out... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12 Fl Oz can at my daughters place in Laguna Niguel on 5th Dec 2017. Misty/cloudy, dull orange pour, head soon just a wisp and collar. I thought this a lovely refreshing beer, citrusy hops ruling the base aroma and taste with the Mango flavours coming through nicely. I am taking to Ballast Point beers and will hopefully meet some more while in Southern California.
