Servaes Passionfruit Distant Light

What the brewers say

“Smoothie-style gose. ... This version features passion fruit and watermelon.”

What our panel thought

“Looks like fruit juice, smells like guava juice with sulfur, tastes like sweet-and-sour guava juice. It’s thick, and the cloying sweetness doesn’t seem to want to go away. Super-yeasty nose, cut with orange pulp. Smoothie is right—they’ve nailed the mouthfeel and the salt adds to the creaminess.”

What our editors thought

“Slight Pacific fruit funk on the nose with a softer melon note rounding it out. The pale pink color is gorgeous. Intensely sweet and rather overwhelming—a fruity dessert beer for those with a sweet tooth.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Around The Horn Brewing Company Fluffy Tutu

“Vanilla and tropical-fruit flavors greet the nose. Firm tartness in the flavor, passion fruit follows, with lemon, vanilla, strawberry sweetness balanced nicely with the amount of sourness. Fruit pleasantly lingers on the tongue in the finish.”

Parish Brewing Co. Greetings From Holly Beach

“Murk and haze look more at home in the world of IPAs. Aroma is unique, with earthy, tropical notes competing for domination. Earthy coconut meat and milk flavors integrate well with tropical nectar-like sweetness, evoking a tropical cocktail.”

WeldWerks Saison D'Amitie

Aroma: “Classic saison aromas: orange, banana, light peppery phenols with grassy hops, bubblegum, and just a bit of bready malt in the background. Subtle but distinctive.” Flavor: “Pepper, orange, banana, clove, bubblegum, grainy malt, balanced, smooth finish that’s a bit on the sweeter side for the style, but certainly not sweet. Aftertaste of spice lingers pleasantly.” Overall: “Everything is super well-balanced; it’s just pint (or rather taster)-sized. A superbly executed classic saison.”
