Vitamin Sea Brewing Sour Pipe Project Shave Ice

What the brewers say

“Hawaiian shave ice–inspired sour with mango, pineapple, passion fruit, and marshmallow.”

What our panel thought

“Intoxicating fluffy coconut quality in the aroma. Flavors are a fun mess of fruits, with passion fruit in front. Notes like a sweet coconut-butter lotion. Oily mouthfeel and passion fruit bring pleasant complexity.”

What our editors thought

“Sweet tropical-fruit nose punctuated by a hit of vanilla. In the sip, a bright burst of acidity and carbonation segue into a broadly tropical body—sweet but not too sweet, with just enough funky tropical-fruit bitterness to offset it.”
