COVA Brewing Company Aloha State of Mind

What the brewers say

“Our passion fruit and hibiscus gose is a crowd favorite.”

What our panel thought

“Aroma of passion fruit, guava, and peach blends with floral notes in an inviting, fruit-forward nose. The initially tart sip slowly fades into sweeter lemon, passion fruit, and orange zest. Gentle, mouth-coating and sourness. Light body. Finishes quickly, with a slight bready note.”

What our editors thought

“Funky passion fruit in the aroma, with a fleshy quality and melon overtones. Delightfully balanced in the flavor, with just enough sweetness to shape the fruit notes. Restrained and natural.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

COVA Brewing Company Aloha State of Mind

“Wonderful, warm sunset-orange color. A refreshing beer that finds a subtle balance with the hibiscus leading the passion fruit. The passion-fruit aroma is bright and enticing, translating onto the palate with delicate acidity and bold tropical-fruit flavor.”

Social Project Brewing Company N.Y. State of Mind

“Light pineapple nose with faint bubblegum, herbal citrus. Initial flavor impression is alcohol. Cloud-like body with zesty citrus, clean tropical-fruit flavors. Semisweet malt background helps support the alcohol. Nicely balanced. Finishes almost dry.”

COVA Brewing Company Watermelon Crawl

“A light ruby-colored beer with moderate clarity and little-to-no head. An herbal aroma, reminiscent of cucumbers, parsley, and lime zest. The flavor is definitely fresh watermelon, with rose water and a peppery-like, fruity spice flavor in the swallow. Quite tart, but not sour, with no real malt character. Lime hangs around through the aftertaste, where it tends to dominate alongside the faint lactic sourness. Pleasant mouthfeel, not thin, with a fruity sugar character without being sweet. No alcohol presence.”
