Ecliptic Brewing Cassiopea Catharina
What the brewers say
N/A
What our panel thought
“Distinctly tropical notes of passion fruit that come across as fresh and natural. Noticeable lactic tartness that is clean, but assertive. Other delicate aspects of the beer are dominated by the tart but refreshing fruit characteristics. Crisp and bright and on balance. Extremely tasty and interesting.”
What our editors thought
“Softly sweet passion fruit on the nose is subtle but distinctive. The flavor, however, is intensely passion fruit—overwhelmingly so—at the expense of any base-beer character. It does, thankfully, steer clear of the worst phenolic excesses of the fruit, with a seltzer-like spritzy body that finishes clean. Light, tart, crisp, and fruity.”
