What the brewers say

“Prickly pear and lemon juice for natural souring.”

What our panel thought

“Bright red color, inviting curiosity. Aroma of a just-opened bag of Wonder Bread plus passion fruit and papaya. Strong tart, fruity flavor profile: prickly pear, lychee, watermelon. The sour-bread first impression transitions to a fruity aftertaste. Pretty well balanced.”

What our editors thought

“Gorgeous soft pink color. Lightly lemon with a melon twist in the aroma. Bright lemon and melon acidity in the sip, punchy and lactic-forward with an energetic jolt. Berry notes push forward as it fades.”
