GOAT is a shapeshifter that keeps changing, depending on what is good, properly ripened, and eaten at the right time.

Is LZ still the GOAT? I’ll make it easier: your 3 choices. Preferably you’ve tasted 50 or more mango varieties. (Sadly I don’t qualify.)

For me so far this year it has been Dwarf Hawaiian Carrie and Dot. With Coconut Cream Karen Michelle tied for 4th. I am coming down to South Florida next week so this may change. So far here in Central Florida I've only had a few pickering's. My sweet tart and orange sherbet aren't quite ready yet. 🙂

Hence why tastes are so subjective and/or people get mesmerized by what others write. For instance, none of the five you mentioned would even make it near my top 5 or even 10....and of those five, only Karen Michelle is in my planted collection of 22 trees

Rob please Mesmerize us with the three mangoes that you've enjoyed the most so far this season.

The mangos i have tried where in early June. I do not have easy access to mangoes as many of you. So far I have only heard pineapple pleasure being boosted about.

In the case of Greatest of all times Comercial I can choose orange sherbet.

Yes it is something we probably could never get John 51 and Rob to agree upon.Lol

I'm still waiting on Orange Sherbet and Sweet Tart.
I'm coming down next week so many of the mangoes I tried may be at their best now.

GOAT means of all time.

If talking so far this year, I would say Sweet Tart, Cecilove and Buttercream (which I previously was not in love with). I do have a couple of Pineapple Pleasure waiting in the wings. Others tasted so far that have been good are Gary, Pina Colada, Taralay, Amy, Son Pari and Beatrice.

Disappointments are Kesar, Juicy Peach and Spirit of 76.

achetadomestica · « **Reply #31 on:** July 03, 2021, 03:46:23 PM »

My favorite 3 this year in no special order

Cac, peach cobbler, Maha Chanok, and sweet tart

Oops I can't count.

zands · « **Reply #32 on:** July 03, 2021, 04:30:52 PM »

My anti-GOAT this year is Pickering. Average taste but the tree was loaded and is reliable each year. So many got to eat them, I heard no complaints. Average taste but was better in previous years.

Mangos--I am in on this too, but all this going on about mango differences reminds me how stereo aficionados used to go on about the best and ultimate equipment to buy, to listen to their vinyl, then CDs at the best. From the 1970s in through the 1990s.

Wine snobs still do this today. I am not a wine snob, I am a mango snob. (sometimes)

Hold on now. I've never pretended to be in the same league as Rob. I've tasted at most 10% of what he has. You can put someone like Alex Salazar in the same league if you must. I don't like the game you're playing here. (No lol)

Thank goodness Walter and Gary didn't agree on everything or we would not have Honey Kiss

From my observations. It seems as though Sweet-Tart rises to the top consistently every year. The other top-tier seem to have years when they're better than others. To The Cult of Carrie she will always be the greatest of all times.
John I value your opinion as much as Alex's and Rob's don't sell yourself short my friend

Gotta agree with that rationale.

bovine421 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 03, 2021, 06:37:01 PM »

I had forgotten that we tried guava for the first time. It really does seem to be the type of flavor profile I prefer. We also liked Juliet very much also.

You never told us your 3 or 4 favorites this year
It's funny you mentioned pickering being average this year it's been
really good at my place this year along with the heavy production.

These were equally best this year-----

Pina Colada
Carrie
Sweet Tart
Glenn from neighbor after chilling in refrigerator

Some of my PSM - Pim Seng Mun were as good as the above four

Pina Colada again-- One rejected by a buyer due to spotting on the outside/over ripe/ Was the best one I ate. What looks like B grade can be A or A+ grade

simon_grow · « **Reply #40 on:** July 03, 2021, 09:37:21 PM »

For me,

Year in, year out, considering I want different flavor profiles for my GOAT.

Based only on taste and not considering productivity or disease resistance.

Ignoring my run on sentences and incomplete sentences

In no particular order

Lemon Zest

Sweet Tart

E4

Simon

What is the Simon? Hahahahahahaha

Honest Abe · « **Reply #42 on:** July 03, 2021, 10:06:35 PM »

I’ve not tried many but tasted over 60 named cultivars.

My favorites of all time SO FAR:

Pineapple Pleasure

Sugarloaf/E4

Edward

Young

Alempur Beneshan (or “iman passand”, whatever we call it here)

Lemon Zest

Sweet Tart

Karen Michelle

IN THAT ORDER.

bovine421 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 03, 2021, 10:29:05 PM »

Karen Michelle is a very fine mango. I definitely tasted coconut. Which I can't say for some of the others. It is also a very nice size.

Honest Abe · « **Reply #44 on:** July 03, 2021, 10:32:47 PM »

Yes KM is very tropical. My wife says it’s worth planting for the tropical taste and size alone. I personally want to add another sugarloaf tree to my in ground collection OR a Pineapple Pleasure but PP raises lots of doubts like will it ever produce or should I plant something more productive in my Miami yard.

Does anyone know the tree size and vigor. Does it have any fungal or Bloom issues.

Notable mangoes I’ve never eaten: E4, M4, CC, Phoenix, Carrie, Cac, ZINC, OS, Guava, and most Indian varieties.

Update:
I have tasted M4, Carrie, and Cac now, all of which I've liked.

Where are the Aussies to tell us Kensington Pride and Maha Chanok are the GOAT?

zands · « **Reply #47 on:** July 04, 2021, 10:08:06 AM »

In this video Richard Campbell says what his favorite mangos are. OS is one of them. Starting at 9:45 minutes in. Then continue on to the end as he has a small mango tasting in the kitchen. And mentions other favorite mangos

I've eaten some excellent PPK's this year. I can't imagine OS is a whole lot better. Correct me if I'm wrong (and here come the corrections)!

Alex has told me that sometimes PPK is better than OS. So that could very well be true.😊
