What the brewers say

“A golden, sun-colored ale with a bright, citrusy flavor that comes from the tropical passion fruit.”

What our panel thought

“The passion fruit comes across somewhat earthy and raw in both aroma and flavor. Floral, earthy, and slightly dank hops seem to accentuate the raw fruity aspects. Somewhat simple in body and mouthfeel.”

What our editors thought

“Nose is balanced between beer character and fruit notes—a touch of sulfur adds a Pilsner- or Kölsch-style note with hints of fruit in the background. On the sip, the fruit is equally balanced and not overwhelming, and the touch of bitterness adds to the drinkability.”
