What Our Editors Thought

"The tropical smoothie nose (mango, passion fruit, guava) suggests a less rigorous beer, but the sip keeps it honest with a subtle funk that echoes the more complex notes in the fruits themselves."

What Our Panel Thought

"Tropical fruit–punch aroma. Soft body with bursting notes of tropical fruits flowing across the palate on top of a firm lactic acidity and Brett funk. Aggressive, firm finish with plenty of acidity. Lingering barnyard Brett rounds things out."

What the Brewers Say

"Notes of exotic tropical fruits with the lactic and acetic funk of a classic lambic."
