What Our Editors Thought
“An overbearing rum nose is polarizing—fans of the liquor will love it; others will hate it. The effect on the passion-fruit beer within is significant—the booziness of the rum flavors fights a pitched battle with the funky passion-fruit notes.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Massive rum and barrel character up front. The combination of the passion fruit, subtle stone fruits, and spiced rum reminds one of a sweet fruity tropical cocktail. This beer is distinctive, but it’s hard to decide whether it works.”
What the Brewers Say
“Tart with tropical-fruit notes, hints of oak, vanilla, and sugar cane.”
