Tiki Weisse Style Ale
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.
MALTS: Pils, Wheat, Flaked Wheat
HOPS: None of your business
SECRET INGREDIENTS: Passion Fruit, Grapefruit Peel, Funny Hats

12 oz. bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is along the same lines, with passion fruits, light lacto and stone fruit pith. Flavour is loaded with passionfruit, a hint of lacto and soft wheat. Very fruity and nicely constructed. Very nice.

12oz bottle. Hazy yellow-tan body. Thin fading white head. Really solid for the style. Pleasant, not overboard passion fruit. Grapefruit peel is restrained as well, and it really works. Mellow and light bodied, but with a sharp acidic bite up front. Good stuff.
