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.

12oz can pours with a crystal clear copper body that has thick clear gold edges and supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up pretty solid freshly cubed mango pieces, pineapple hard candy, mango cotton candy and then some mild sweet malts in the background. The taste delivers juicy mango that has a bit of a bitter pineapple edge. The citrus and tropical fruit like modest hoppy bitterness grows to midway as the juicy mango just rides along unwavering. Toward the finish it picks up a pleasing mild blend of malts and cracker like malts that really ground the experience. Solid.

Clear gold with a white head. Fresh clean mango/apricot aroma. The fresh mango in the aroma doesn’t reappear in the flavor. It does mask whatever hop flavors are in there so it might it’s one of those ideas that sounded better than it ended up.

can - Pours deep gold and smells of mango and citrus. The flavor has crisp bitterness with sweet fruit and malt. It’s easy drinking and enjoyable, a good summer beer.

Can. Golden pour with a modest white head, bits of lacing. Ripe mango and citrus fruits in the nose, just a hint of pine. Tastes sweet with fruit and moderate in bitters. Gets a little over-ripe in the mango; I think its hard to nail this without more of a sour element, but this does good. Refreshing.

Can. Mango, orange, caramel malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet mango, toffee malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Nice body.

355ml can. Pours a clear orange with a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Sweet, fruity, floral aroma of mango, peach, orange and vanilla. Sweet fruity flavour of mango, peach, tangerine, pineapple, orange, grapefruit and caramel malt with a dry, bitter, hop resin finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Hard to believe the ABV is only 3.8%. A very good session ipa.

Can. Light amber body. Frothy off-white head. Nice aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, mango, toasted grain, floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The finish is lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Flavor doesn’t live up to the promising aroma. Taste of vanilla, bitter mango and that’s about it.
