12 bottle, trade with Daknole. Poured carefully into a large glass to find a big head of foam. Under that big fizzy head is a slightly dark golden beer color that we can pretend is pale ale. Smell is okay, basic fruit nose. There is mango here. It’s a mild flavored fruit, so it actually goes well in this beer, giving it a kind of warmly-fermented ale feeling. Beer character is not distinguished, but it lets the fruit work its way in. Just not too exceptional. Starts to taste like fruit extract after a while.

Pours deep gold with moon cratered off white head. The aroma is pulsating disco scene mango with hints of malty sweetness. The is taste thin and refreshing with a bit of floral like hop bite and mango. The carbonation gives the mango a less sweet flavor than expected as it infuses a bit of harshness into the experience. It gets malty midway with a tad bit of grain and a dash of roastiness. Restrained mango notes allow the beer flavor to shine through.

Cloudy dull amber. Smells like mango extract candy. Tastes bad - the bitterness of the pale ale base really clashes with that mango syrup. Jeez - that does not work at all.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange with a creamy off white head. Aroma is mango fruit. Taste is a mix of mango and watery grain.

Bottle indicates Tropical Mango. The concept and idea of of Virgin Islands beer with tropical fruit such as mango was interesting. The final result is just disappointing. While the aroma is filled with mango, the taste is badly balanced. The beer should have the sweetness of the mango, and unfortunately it is counterblanced by too much hops bitterness, giving the beer a citrus fruit soda aspect.

On tap at Yesterday’s Ale House in Newport, RI. Orange gold color with a fruity aroma. Heavy mango and tropical fruit flavor with a dry, light finish. Mango beer? It’s honestly very drinkable, a great session beer.
