7.00
ABV: 8.0% IBU: 30 Ticks: 84
Originally designed to be a hoppier version of our flagship Saison, the accidental (but fortuitous) addition of two extra bags of Munich malt balanced out the hop bitterness leaving us this very unique beer. Tropic King bursts with fruity tropical characteristics from the use of New Zealand hop varietals. This beer is a flavor extravaganza that has developed a loyal following. Notes of passion fruit, mango, pepper, and ginger.

Pairs well with hula hooping.

Sampled from 750ml bottle. Poured a reddish color with a small white head. Aroma was citrus, apples, perhaps a touch of cloves? Flavor was fruity, maybe a granny smith flavor down there? Very interesting brew.

Bottle as Maori King thanks to grg1313. Pours with a white head over a hazed golden hued body. Aromas are estery and very fruit, grainy, bready, noticeable alcohol, stone fruit, grassy, some spicy phenols. Some over ripe mango (Rakau?) Flavors are a bit sugary, stone fruit, ginger, fruity, grainy, apricot, peach. Lively bubbles and a very dry finish.

[Ever since this went from 7% to 8% it just hasn’t been the same - still good, but nowhere near the greatness of the earlier batches] Tap at Funkwerks - first of all, I love how their idea of an imperial saison is one that sits at 7% - awesome - nose is very crisp and peppery from the NZ hops - they also add a strong Sauvignon character - some spice and light phenols - flavor is fairly dry and semi tart - pepper character from the hops combines wonderfully with the spiciness imparted by the yeast - some Sauvignon white grape character - light funk on the tail end - love it!
