Cheers lads. A lot of people love the name alright.

Great looking recipe, was it a 60min or just a 30min boil?

I'm going to try this tomorrow, have the ingredients now :)

What ABV did it turn out at? I think Beersmith is estimating about 4.4%, does that sound about right?

Thanks again for sharing the recipe

Lovely beer, judged it at the event really pulls off that tropical fruit tone

Can anyone recommend an alternative yeast for this? Having a hard time finding American Dream. Is it known by another name ?

One last question before I click the Checkout button...The hops, were they pellet or leaf ? Want to make sure I get the weight/quantity correct.

Thanks, really looking forward to brewing this as a nice Summer beer, if we get the weather.

Donny

Yeah it's a thirst quencher alright. The hops were pellets. Let me know how it goes for you. Don't be afraid to use tinned mango for the fruit addition, il be adding tinned mango to the current batch next week. Trying to simplify the recipe a little. Less mess more success.
