Mango Wheat and other ales

#1
Leigha Offline
I'm not much of a beer drinker, but over the past year, I've tried IPA's and also Blue Moon. Bought Blue Moon's Mango Wheat recently, and it is sooo good. It's a golden mango ale, that offers a hint of fruity flavor. Wish they made it in a light version, though.  Dodgy  Lots of craft beers to choose from, guess there's a lot of competition among breweries these days. 

I'm still more of a wine drinker, but now that it's summer, a cold beer is nice when at the beach, or a bbq. What is your favorite beer?

Yum! I'd like to have an in-between drink like that. Does it have an acid-like taste at all? I tried Mike's Hard Lemonade once, and their regular version had an acidic taste.

It's carbonated so yeah it tastes acidic. But you get used to after the third can. lol!

Yea, it's the carbonation that I remember not liking, but...I'll give it another try.

Hi Wegs!

There are so many.  Older Viscosity for stouts.  Duchesse du Bourgogne for sours.  Art is Hard for hazy IPA's.  Pliny the Younger for IPA's.

If you like Blue Moon Mango you might also try:
Abita Purple Haze (wheat beer w/raspberries)
Hangar 24 Orange Wheat
McMenamin's Ruby
Pyramid Apricot

I made a really good blackberry wheat a few years ago but it's long gone.

Hi billvon! Glad you decided to join, welcome!

I'll try some of these, thanks...the apricot one sounds unique. I like the orange/citrus infused beers, they taste more refreshing or something. Regular beer has such an odd taste to me.  Confused
