Dense jungle and rainforest are the preferred habitat of jaguars, however as these areas are destroyed through deforestation these noble creatures are forced to roam farther and farther afield in search of the Tiki drinks and grilled cheese sandwiches that sustain them. A couple years ago, we ran into one at Sportsmans Club and shut down the patio with him. Amongst stories of travel and pouncing, he went on at length about his favorite cocktail bursting with all the sickly sweet aromas of passion fruit and grapefruit peel but balanced by a lively acidity and slight but world-wise touch of funk. We've done our best to pay homage to that fine beast and his libations and hope you find Spots as nimble and explosive as its namesake.

This beer is a slightly hazy yellow color with a medium white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of citrus, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of lemon, passionfruit, funky wheat and bready malt. The finish is sweet-tart citrus and passionfruit. Above average overall.

Acid and passion fruit aroma. Taste is a mix of sour acidity, sweet passion fruit, citrus tartness with a hard to describe sweet and funky, farmhouse finish that adds and differentiates from other fruited Berliner Weissse beers.

Bottled 5/1, drunk 11/9/18.
Mildly hazy, straw. Small white head sits at cover.
Passion fruit is intense and tempered very lightly with grapefruit zest adding some spice and acidity. Light cereal, cotton candy and lemon. Seems very German which is great. The wheat really comes through as it warms.
In the mouth, it's sweetly passion fruity with low citrus. Tons of cereal character from the wheat. Light sourness on the very end with lingering green apple and a bit of powdered sugar.

Bottle. Sour milk, passion fruit, grapefruit peel and biscuit malt aroma. Hazy pale yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet-tart passion fruit, wheat malt, moderately sour lactic and citric acid, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body and balance. Nicely tart.

On tap at Kaiser Tiger Chicago. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Some banana on aroma. Some sour. Some apricot yoghurt. Very fruity. Too much apricot yoghurt for me but the fruit is pretty decent.

Bottle - Lots of perfume but odd and nondescript. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Sour and fruity but not sure as described.
