    Alrighty - a couple down now, and it ain't a bad drop. The label says it's based on a belgian recipe - and it shows. Very pale and malty. Too many Belgian beers always give me a head ache, and this one is showing hints, although I know I'm good for a few pints before it becomes an issue.

    The "beeriness" is pretty much what you'd expect from a pale ale or blonde beer, and I was suprised just how beery it was. I was expecting a much sweeter drink, which as a Cider drinker I don't mind at all. I also like Emu Bitter. This drink is more malt than fruit based.

    Now the mango.... You know - at first I was suprised at how subtle it was, but I'm now well into my second and it's becoming more obvious, without being over powering.

    <onto third now>

    The last mouthful is the nicest - I think it gets better as it warms up, and in Perth - this is a good thing! Or perhaps it's getting better as I warm up

    It's a good drop, and even the most ardent ale drinkers should be able to appreciate the flavours. Head to , grab yourself a pint and you'll soon find yourself sitting back and thinking of Broome sunsets.

    I reckon it would go down perfectly with a Mango, Chicken and Coconut cream curry. Otherwise any day where the mercury hits 25 or above.

    Pros: Gets you sauced, Taste good, doesn't have to be ice cold, feels like a real beer.
    Cons: Whilst you could easily knock back a few pints - you couldn't make a night of it on this alone.

    Overall Rating 7.5/10 - well worth a try

    Two Questions:

    1: Will you make it to the game tonight or have you hit the snooze button yet
    2: Will you manage to avoid the power cord tonight !!!!!!!

    6 pack went down pretty easy, caused me to miss the game, and I was up at 4:40am this morning with no ill side effects at all
