Momotarō is a popular Japanese folklore hero. He was born from a giant peach which was found floating down a river by an old childless woman who was washing clothes there. How does this story relates with this beer you may ask. Just like Momotarō, a few tons of peach were found floating down the river, just next to our brewery by a fruitless brewer. Amazed with this discovery, he decided to combine it with passion fruit and a solid base of Berliner Weisse to create this pulpy fruit delight.

440ml can. Murky, dark orange, golden colour with average, frothy, rapidly diminishing, off-white head. Slightly lactic, tangy and fruity aroma, hints of mild sauerkraut, notes of passion fruit, peach, some nectarine, unripe mirabelle. Taste is sweet-and-sour fruity, slightly lactic, tangy, notes of passion fruit, peach, nectarine, a touch of sauerkraut, some fruit acid. Viscuous texture, smooth and soft, minimally astringent palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Thick, viscous, really smoothie-like, excellent fruitiness, good balance of sweet and sour aspects - good!

Can from Beerdome. Small head with short duration. Color is hazy orange. Aroma and taste are rich passion fruit, orange juice and citrus. Nice fruity pulpy finish.

(Re-rating, previous: 3.8) Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 29A: peach and passion fruit / 23A: Berliner Weisse). Can 44 cl - Batch 120423 (BB 120424). AROMA: medium-high peach and passionfruit aroma with a medium neutral sour background. APPEARANCE: orange-ish opaque color with a fruit smoothie appearance. low off-white head with no retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial medium peach, followed by medium-low passionfruit and medium clean lactic acidity in place of bitterness. finishes semi-dry with a slight fruity aftertaste. MOUTHFEEL: high body with medium carbonation. no astringency. OVERALL: yet another real fruit smoothie beer with a lot of texture. well balanced though.
