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. Filtered orange-tan body. Big, frothy white head. Bright hop shine through equally with the mango. Mango edged, but still a solid session IPA. Bold flavors. Crisp. Pretty good.

Hazy golden coloured body with a decent two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of fake mangoes, sugar and a good deal of hops - interesting. Light-bodied; Super strong funky fake mango flavour that leaves everything very bitter, along with some decent hops, that are completely overshadowed by the funky mango notes. Aftertaste shows the mango (canβt stop the flavours), light hops and a touch of fake sugars as well. Overall, a very funky beer that is ridciulously bitter, but not from the hops, from the funky fake mango flavours. Definitely not worth buying, seemingly which is in tune with their other fruit-based beers, since they seem to be made with artificial flavouring rather than real fruit - which is no surprise, given that itβs a mass produced product now. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Tysonβs Corner (Falls Church), Virginia on 10-March-2016 for US$2,49 sampled at home in Washington on 14-April-2016.

Poured into a taster showing orange amber with sparse foam and moderately filtered. The nose shows very fruit forward mango. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Very mango forward almost like a soft drink but still dry. Not sure this works very well.

The use of crap varieties of hops ruined what could have been a very enjoyable beer. +++ Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a dark amber color with a medium sized foamy yellow-white head that left good lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweetish with notes of pine, catbox and mango. The flavor was semi sweet and very bitter with cardboard, catbox, mango and passion fruit. Long finish. Medium body. Disappointing.

Can subtle light pale malts and hop flavors. Tame and nicely balanced. The mango does come though just right. Quite good.

12 oz can purchased at Whole Foods Camelback in Phoenix, Arizona. 16039 code on the can. The pour is a clear golden with tons of fine carbonation bubbles rising to the surface. Well formed foamy one inch white head. The aroma is mango, fresh fruit, naturally sweet along with some resin hop. The taste is the natural fruit mango along with grass resin towards the back. Straight forward, though fresh and clean. The palate is light bodied with soft carbonation and some mineral resin along with more mango in the finish. Well done, tons of flavor and nice body for such a low ABV beer. Hopefully I can find it locally and drink it by the pool this summer.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours golden with a white head. Fruit aroma. Med body. Flavor is mango with some bitterness. Decent drink, especially considering the low ABV. Flavor is pretty good.
