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.

Pour is a clear orange with a large white head. Aroma is a pretty decent mix of hops and cirtus fruit from the mango. Flavor is way more of the mango with almost no hops but a big bitterness after the swallow. Smells great but flavor is a bit lacking. I do get some mango but its a bit too watery for me to really like this.

[1/31/16] Can sample at a hotel lobby bottle share during RBWG 2016 in Santa Rosa. Golden. Aroma of lots of mango, fruity hops. Slightly sweetish flavor, with mango and bitter fruity hops. Nice and refreshing.

I really don’t see the point of the session IPA and don’t care for most of the ones I’ve tried, but this one I like. Pours a clear golden yellow with minimal head. Strong mango aroma and that’s about it. Flavor is grassy with a strong mango counterpart, a touch of hops, and fairly bitter finish/aftertaste. If I had to drink a session IPA, this would be one of my top choices.

Pours an amber from a can, some lacing. Nose of tropical hop notes, some mango, as expected. Flavor is mango, maybe some pineapple, something coconut-y, also I swear there’s something toothpaste-y about this. Bittering hops are present in the mix, but not overly bitter. Meh.

12 oz. can purchase at Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery, ME. Clear Orange in color liquid. Look, let me break this down for you… no way you can find any other aroma other than mango. Its pure mango juice, if you get anything other than that, you are fooling yourself.
Ok, the flavor shows a light amount of citrus hops toward the backend with just a light bitterness. The flavor is mostly mango. The carbonation is on the high side with light body and crisp extremely dry aftertaste.
