This is one mischievous Hawaiian pale ale. It all started with Mosaic and Citra Cryo hops. The next thing you know, this mythological dwarf is adding orange peel in the whirlpool. AND THEN, when we weren’t even looking - boom Passionfruit and Pink Guava Purees found their way into the fermenter (to the ridiculous total of 23#/bbl). The end result is a hoppy, hazy POG beer that finishes dry with a pleasant, tropical tartness. Oh, you want juice? We’ll give you juice.

On tap at Cloudburst, pours an opaque peachy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out intense passionfruit upfront, followed by subtle guava, and lacto. Flavour is loaded with passionfruit and guava upfront, with lots of bitter pith. Not as bright as one might hope for such a fruit beer, but it's pretty nice.

Tap at the brewery. Very milky yellow-ish color with small white head. Aroma is passion fruit, juicy, milky yeasts. Taste is milky yeasts, passion fruit, some onions and sweatsocks, this beer was extremely dryhopped apparently. Fun stuff, but very intense and milky.

Draft pour pint at Chuck’s 85th, Seattle. A milky orange pour with a thin bubble head. A citrus, bitter, maximum juicy fruit aroma, that is slightly topped by the flavor. Big time mango, juicy orange fruit. Creamy. Its like this is half pale, half pineapple mango juice. It really doesn’t get better than this as far as quality of fruit flavor in a hoppy beer goes. Incredible. Still my favorite crew here. A mixed 6 pack of mystery any 6 hoppy beers from Cloudburst. That would be the day.
