Palm trees, flamingos, beaches, sunshine: we’ve got it all here in the great state of Florida. And while Florida may not technically be in the tropics, it still emanates plenty of tropical vibes. Inspired by that same feeling, we created Tropical Vibes: a wheat ale packed with refreshing amounts of mango and guava. Best enjoyed while under a palm tree in the sand, or at least wishing you were. This beer is sure to put you in a tropical state of mind

12 oz can from Total Wine - Daytona. Pours a cloudy gold color with a small white head and poor retention. Zero lacing. Citrus pulp aroma. Tropical juice flavor, as the name suggests. I can't really pick out the mango or guava flavors, but it's a nice tropical mix. The wheat base beer is lighter and thinner than average. Definitely more of a fruit beer than a wheat ale. Not very beery. Medium-light body. Low carbonation. Zero bitterness. Smooth and clean. Decent fruity beer.

Can. Pour looks like grapefruit juice with a thin head. Slight off citrus grapefruit nose, difficult to tell. Taste is definitely fruity with an almost tart feel to it. Even seems to have grapefruit pulp in it. Some carbonation, but not much. Middle continues to be off fruit with a mild tart effect. Can't identify the kinds of fruit in here. Becomes difficult near the end, its starting to get on my nerves. Not sure if I care for this even tho its carries some tartness with it. In the end, its more tolerable than most domestic wheat ales but it's still irritating none the less. BTW, it probably should not be listed as a straight away wheat ale, its quite flavored with something, not sure what.
