Three Taverns Craft Brewery Rapturous

__Aroma:__ “Moderate Juicy Fruit character, with mango, pineapple, cantaloupe, lychee, banana, red apple, papaya, and passion fruit. Slight clove phenols emerge along with a musty citrus hops aroma. As it warms, light dank hops show through, as do notes of salt, shoyu, sulfur, armpit, resin, cheddar, and Parmesan. It’s kind of stinky, but in a good way.” __Flavor:__ “Lots of very ripe mango, peach, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, and kiwi. The hops bitterness lingers with just a touch of malt sweetness to mellow it out. Full, rich malt character adds some sweetness throughout and finishes with a light, warming alcohol.” __Overall:__ “There’s enough bitterness and malt sweetness to match the alcohol strength. The bright fruit notes stray away from the typical citrus, evoking South Pacific tropic fruit notes. Just as you settle in, the bitter finish emerges and balances it all out.”

__Aroma:__ “Jam-like berry aroma jumps out followed by a slight cherry note. Touch of black pepper phenolics and citrus notes, light acidity, light wheat notes. Slight malt sweetness is similar to a Berliner. Bright acidity comes through. Reminds me a homemade jam aroma.” __Flavor:__ “Raspberry, blackberry, and cherry jump out, providing some nice berry sweetness without being too sweet. A slight tannic tartness provides a pivot point for the sweetness. Lemon-like tartness provides some complexity. Very refreshing, light, and easy drinking.” __Overall:__ “Fantastic beer that highlights a jammy character that really shines through in the aroma and flavor. Acidic tartness gives it a bright flavor profile. Easy drinking with some complexity from the fermentation schedule, kettle additions, and fruit. Refreshing, sweet, fruity, and tart without any one of those characters being too powerful. Fun easy-drinker in the sun, maybe even make some frozen margaritas with it.”

__Aroma:__ “Passion fruit that smells perfectly ripe and comes across as moderately sweet with a tart punch. Some kiwi, pineapple, and sweet floral notes. Very tropical. Slight bready malt in the background.” __Flavor:__ “Passion fruit is the star. There's a bit of bready malt, but if it weren’t for this beer being very dry, I might think it was just passion fruit juice. A bit of sweetness, but intensely sour. Very clean lactic acidity. Hints of pineapple, orange, lemon, apricot. The carbonation makes the beer dance on your tongue and the sweetness balances the acidity nicely. Just a touch of some funk.” __Overall:__ “This beer is a passion-fruit showcase. It comes across as ripe fruit or fruit juice. For the level of acidity I find this beer to be very drinkable. Nice balance of sweet, tart passion fruit with a sour finish. The flavors all flow together. The passion fruit hold up great.”
