Worthy Brewing Farm Out Passion Fruit Saision

What the brewers say

“Where the Old World meets the New Age. Enjoy hints of bubblegum, clove, and lemon zest as you uncover a layer of real passion fruit. A refreshing beer with a dry and pleasantly tart finish.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Foreground is passion fruit with hints of flint, white pepper, peach, and lemon zest. Slight clove, banana, sweet. Background is Pils malt, semisweet.”

Flavor: “White pepper, peach, subtle passion fruit, and lemon zest. Low bitterness, light body, and high drinkability. Moderately low sweetness with a dry finish.”

Overall: “Everything about this beer is fairly subtle, but works well. With a light summery body, it’s a very refreshing and drinkable beer. Reserved, but well-crafted and well-balanced saison.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Bruery Terreux Frucht Passion Fruit

__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.”

High Water Brewing Rio d'Oro

Aroma: “Golden Grahams cereal and honey. Slight notes of citrus in the back with notes of pear and apple. Some floral/earthy spice notes add complexity. This is beer, right? Seems more like a sweet cider on the nose.” Flavor: “Very sweet up front. Honey and a bit of caramel carry throughout the whole taste with citrus and spice in the background, but not balanced. Light hops bitterness toward the end of the sip but sweet overall.” Overall: “There’s a nice orange and bready malt character in the background with a dry finish after the initial sweetness in the flavor. A touch more carbonation would keep the sweetness in check.”

WeldWerks Brewing Co. Double Passion Fruit Gose

__Aroma:__ “Big passion-fruit aroma with some notes of pineapple and mango. Slight malt sweetness at the very back. Very juicy with notes of tropical fruit. A little lemon, slightly tart.” __Flavor:__ “Passion fruit dominates, but there are some mango notes. Saltiness comes through on the back, bringing together the fruit and adding complexity. Rather dry on the finish. Tartness is just light of making the mouth pucker. Finishes refreshing.” __Overall:__ “The passion fruit comes through, and there’s a decent malt backbone with moderate acidity and a light dusting of salt. Slight mango and malt sweetness provide some complexity. This has some bold flavors for a kettle sour with a more intense tartness. The sweetness helps to cut through, and this beer is refreshing. Good after a slow meandering bike ride.”
