We employ a unique, fast souring process to these "kettle soured" ales that adds a rich, clean acidity which sets the stage to allow different fruits to shine. In "punch" (as it's referred to in the brewpub), we add passion fruit, orange zest, and guava to simulate the flavor and aroma of POG Juice (or Hawaiian Punch). There's an pleasant tartness and zesty effervescence that makes this beer literally taste like juice. Those who enjoy sour beers, or have any open mind to understand what the limits of beer can be, will thoroughly enjoy this beer.

Exotic tropical tangy fruity hits of guava and passionfruit, medium body and light acidity, tart fruity finish. Very nice.

Pretty solid example of a kettle sour with plenty of POG flavor.

Light tartness, very dry and tons of tropical fruit and passionfruit notes. Excellent fruit character not as tart as expect but super solid
