Top Rung Brewing Company G'Rip It Sour Ale
What the brewers say
“Sweet passion fruit. Tart sour ale. If you know, you know. Purple power!”
What our panel thought
“Kool-Aid-like purple appearance, really wild. Passion fruit dominates the nose, with a touch of cereal. Moderate sour punch hits the tongue first, with a semi-quick finish, fading into passion fruit with hints of kiwi and grape. Fairly easy to drink. Light on the tongue and refreshing.”
What our editors thought
“Light passion-fruit flesh borders on nutty in the nose. Bright and light in the sip, with less fruit and more lemon acidity. Simple but bright. The color makes for an unusual but fun experience.”
