Mangrove Jacks Lucky Goat Pale Ale

One of the most popular Mangrove Jacks beer kits, the Mangrove Jacks Lucky Goat Pale Ale is a well-crafted beer that offers a unique and satisfying flavor.

Pours a golden ale with a lasting white head. Pleasant malt aroma with soft fruit undertones. Smooth malt sweetness carries a touch of vanilla, balanced by gentle hop bitterness and a clean finish. Perfect for dry hopping with your favourite hop variety for an extra burst of flavour.

Additional Fermentables Required

To get the best from this brew, you’ll need to add fermentables. Choose one of the following options depending on your style preference:

Option One: The Basics Brew
Use Liquid Brewing Sugar or Dextrose.
For better body and head retention when using Dextrose, we recommend Premium Blend Light over straight dextrose.

Option Two: Crisp and Light
Use 1kg Extra Light Dry Malt Extract for a clean flavour profile, subtle malt character, and a refreshing, crisp finish.

Option Three: Smooth and Satisfying
For a fuller mouthfeel and smooth finish, use Liquid Malt Extract.
Choose Black Rock Ultra Light or Brick Road Extra Light for a subtle malt character and clean flavour profile, or try Mangrove Jacks Wheat Liquid Malt Extract to introduce a ‘biscuity’ or ‘straw’ malt character.

Note: We do not recommend using Light Malt or darker alternatives with this kit. The Lucky Goat has a very subtle flavour profile and the intended flavour can be easily overpowered.

Optional Extras

Boost your brew with these recommended extras for better flavour, fermentation, and finish:

Craft Yeast
Upgrade your fermentation by using a quality craft yeast.

Option One: If you dry hop this brew we would suggest the 2 x packets of SafAle S-23 (23g total) which is well suited to fruity expressions.

Option Two: If you are not dry hopping (or as an alternative if you are dry hopping) we suggest 2 x packets of the SafAle US-05 (23g total) yeast which is well regarded as a neutral and versatile ale yeast.

Yeast Nutrients
Add yeast nutrient to support a healthy fermentation, ensuring your yeast performs at its best for full attenuation and a consistent result.

Finings
For crystal-clear beer, use finings in the final 24–48 hours before bottling. This helps remove sediment, improves flavour stability, and gives your lager a polished, professional look.

Dry Hopping

For a craft-style finish, dry-hop this brew with 50-100g of your favourite hops. Here are five great options:

  • Bold & layered – Use Mosaic + Nelson Sauvin together for a complex mix of mango, blueberry, gooseberry, and white wine notes.
  • Citrus & crisp – Try NZ Cascade + Motueka to combine bright grapefruit, lime, and floral citrus for a refreshing twist.
  • Smooth & aromatic – Choose Pacifica for sweet orange marmalade and floral undertones that balance the malt backbone – especially if you use wheat malt.
  • Juicy & tropical – Try the Tropical Burst Hop Blend (Riwaka, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin) for passionfruit, gooseberry, and grapefruit with a punchy tropical burst.
  • Bright & floral – Go with the Fruit and Floral Hop Blend (Nelson Sauvin, Pacifica, Riwaka) for white grape, sweet citrus, grapefruit, and a crisp floral lift.

  1. I need a bit more practice, but it’s possibly my best effort so far
