Alvarado Street Brewery Howzit Punch
What the brewers say
“Passion fruit, orange, and guava kettle-sour ale. Same recipe, same POG-juice combo since 2015.”
What our panel thought
“Tropical-fruit medley greets the nose, and pulpy, dank orange juice. Spicy passion-fruit flavor, sour, perfumy, with a short, sharp acidic note to finish. As the palate adjusts to this new normal, orange and other fruit notes emerge. Nice, slightly spritzy, sour, fruity treat.”
What our editors thought
“Classic POG nose artfully balances funky tropical fruit and tight citrus. The aroma’s sweet suggestion only partially manifests in the sip, which threads the sweet-sour line with a funky tropical bitterness.”
