The Passion of Johann was inspired by a true tale of love, a tale as old as time, that eventually led to one of the family marriages. Drew went on vacation with Georgia and was convinced by a local peddler to try an alleged aphrodisiac. Turns out, he had an awful allergic reaction to a rare shellfish oil. But man, he did some passionate porcelain love making that night!
This inspired us to make a beer based on the allusion of an aphrodisiac. And what better than the Passion Fruit!
The Passion of Johann is a Double IPA fermented with our house yeast, which produces stone fruit esters. We then ferment the base beer on many lbs of Passion Fruit & Madagascar Vanilla and dry hop with Citra.

Can at Kev's, cheers. Pours murky dark yellow with a white cap. Aroma: tropical citrus sorbet vibes, lactose. Taste: moderate to heavy sweet & light bitter, tangy sharp fruit, citrus. Medium to full body with tight carbonation. Not particularly well balanced.

Vanilla is overpowering. Reminds me of bubble gum, or even cotton candy.

Pours a very hazy, bright, orange-cantaloupe, with minimal head. Strong aroma of passionfruit, citrus, sour washcloth, some vanilla. Flavor is vanilla, passionfruit, citrus, a touch of pine/spruce hops. Slightly sweet. Has a fairly bitter finish for being otherwise quite smooth. Not bad at all.

From the brewery: pours deep orange haze. Aroma is passionfruit, sugarcake, and vanilla. Taste is super sweet, fruity, sweet... wow so sweet. This is the sweetest IPA I have ever had. Tooooooo much.

Can, shared round at Jeff’s. Super hazy, dark yellow. Film of white. Nose has a bonkers, lemon sorbet and orange ice cream thing going on. Creamy oats. Passion fruit and pineapple milkshake. Taste is creamy sweet, with a not too well balanced, citrus bitterness. Mouthfeel is maybe a little harsh and tangy bitter. Bitterness builds on the finish. Doesn’t feel the ABV, but it’s not one I could do more than a small measure of.

Lots of passionfruit and vanilla like a mixed ice cream cone. Hazy orange pour with good head and lacing. Bean type vegetable finish but light. Better than a bigger broat. Bittersweet and tangy. Tap at Churchkey.
