What the brewers say

“Passion fruit, orange, guava quick-sour ale. Silver medal at the 2024 World Beer Cup.”

What our panel thought

“Passion fruit aromatics are fruity, clean, complemented by tropical and grapefruit notes. Chewy and semisweet without being overly heavy. The sip is distinctly tart, but enough malt character helps the fruit flavors avoid becoming aggressively sour.”

What our editors thought

“Passion fruit and guava lead the nose with an earthy, slightly funky undercurrent. Balanced in the flavor, with woody rind notes measured against the more indulgent fruit.”
