Dankhouse That Purple Passion

“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.”

“Dark pink pour with an off-pink head. Tart, fresh aroma—ripe blackberries atop blackberry jam with a doughy malt backbone. The fruit overshadows the base beer but delivers on a full flavor explosion. Sweet fruit finish with a touch of astringency and nice level of acidity. Balanced, yet leaning sweet. Simple and well-made.”

__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.”
