A series inspired by the iconic fruit cart vendors of Los Angeles. A light, refreshing wheat ale with lots of fresh mango and a pleasant, slightly tart finish

Draft pours hazy yellow with a thin layer of foam that quickly dissipates. True to its name, mangos dominate the aroma and flavor yet the presence of wheat beer remains. I detected no unpleasant aftertaste as I sometimes do with a wheat beer. Only slightly tart and low in alcohol, this was a fine representation of a fruited wheat beer.

Draft pour opaque yellow. Some mango in the flavor and aroma. Not tart at all, but it is ok as a fruit beer in summer weather.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. This one looks like the picture, xpt that the word "tart" is missing. Pours hazy with a white head. Aroma of ripe mango. Med body, approaching. Flavor is mango. Wheat shows up as the mango leaves. Arguably there's a tart note, but it's quite slight indeed. Goes to show that enough fruit can make a wheat ale somewhat tolerable. Getting to like mango.

Hazy golden coloured body with a pure honey glow and rich, large, five to six centimetre tall pure white and rather soapy head. Aroma of mangoes (duh!), light orange and curacao along with a dose of subdued grain from the malt with more fruit elements showing the papaya and a little passionfruit funk as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong mango flavour with a lot of fruits and grain along with some lighter yeast and herbal notes, but this is all about the fruit, but especially the mangoes. Aftertaste shows a very subdued and wheatie malt backbone that makes this very easy to drink and have minimal pungency, but the yeast flavours still show through a tiny bit and also leave a touch of grain noticeable on the finish. Overall, a nice and very mango-y beer that is easy-to-drink, refreshing and lightly tart all at the same time. Nice to sample and well worth trying to find, especially if you like mangoes! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 24-February-2018 for US$2,00 sampled in my hotel room here in New York on 26-February-2018

Sample at during the Kindred "Tap Takeover at The Pint Room" event on 11/03/2017. The beer is a hazy yellow-golden color with a medium white head that evaporates quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of mango, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mango, bready malt and wheat. The finish is fruity with a mango aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 Oz can on 8th Dec 2017. Found in my Son-in-Laws fridge (in Orange County, California) and poured into a 'La Chouffe' badged tulip glass. Misty yellow body, white crown that didn't hang around long. Fruit cocktail of a beer with Mango aromas and flavours too the fore. Refreshing after a quick swim but not a beer I could recommend to anyone I know who likes beer.

Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a hazy light yellow gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of sweet and earthy mango with some wheat underlying. Flavor is also full of sweet and earthy mango with a slight hint of wheat backing.

Hazy to cloudy yellow pour, fine layer of foam.
Mango and stone fruit smell, mild tart suggestion.
Mango, apricot stone, slightly tart but I get more sweet notes.
Light bodied but not watery. I like this.
