What Our Editors Thought
“A rare beer in the category that nails the duality of fan-pleasing, indulgent sour fruit beer and pensive, layered sipper. The tropical pink-lemonade nose is familiar and suggestive; farther afield, tropical notes work their way into the aromatic conversation. The sip is sweet with a mild citrus-acid element, but as you swallow a guava tartness takes hold alongside tropical bitterness. Like a well-crafted pop song, it’s so catchy that even the most hardened critic can’t stop humming the tune.
What Our Panel Thought
“A refined, tropical-fruit-punch character—the dragon fruit/grapefruit combo works especially well, and the guava adds an earthiness without coming across like dirty socks. The classic beer-flavor element is minimal. Thoroughly enjoyable—tropical without the generic Kool-Aid quality. Dragon fruit lends it a beautiful pink color. Big tropical-fruit aroma transitions into big tropical-fruit flavor, while the moderate sweetness throughout is balanced by a moderate acidity. Finishes with tart fruit character. Big flavors, but it works and finds an overall balance. Fun beer!”
What the Brewers Say
“A sherbet-inspired sour ale with guava, grapefruit, dragon fruit, and pomegranate.”
