Notes of juicy mango bursting through with citrus and tropical hop aromas - Eight Armed Bandit is a refreshing, moderately dry Mango Pale Ale with a smooth, delicately bitter finish. Golden, fluffy-headed and gloriously fruit-forward.
Eight Armed Bandit doesn’t share the spotlight - mango takes it.
Built on a rounded pale malt base infused with mango juice concentrate and flavouring, this golden Pale Ale delivers juicy, tropical mango character that bursts through with every sip. Citra and Azacca hops add citrus and tropical depth, while a medium-dry finish keeps it refreshing rather than cloying.
The M44 US West Coast yeast ferments clean and dry, giving the mango and hop character room to shine. A real crowd-pleaser for anyone who loves their Pale Ale on the tropical side.
