Hawaiian for "end of the work day", Pau Hana is a Saison that was fermented with our house blend of Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces strains, and aged in a single Chardonnay barrel. With a secondary fermentation on a rotating blend of two different fruit purees, the resulting beer is funky and tart, with a pleasant background of tropical fruit. Whether you've just finished work or are enjoying a day off in the sun, it's Pau Hana time!

Blend #1 - released October, 2020; aged on pineapple and pink guava puree

Poured from 500mL bottle (w/ the brewnosers). Last blend before they shut down (different blends have different fruits). Cloudy yellow with minimal white head. Passionfruit, soft tartness, really nice.

(500ml bottle from ANBL Shippigan c/o my girl Phyllomedusa) Pours nearly clear bright gold with a small white head and no real lace. Aroma of pineapple, guava, mango, some canned tropical fruit, banana, tart citrus, wine barrel, some kind of mulchy and vaguely sulfuric funk. Flavour is quite acidic, notes of pineapple, floral guava, mango, and banana esters (more when cold), bracing lemony lactic acidity and maybe some acetic edges too, tart wine grapes vibe to it, middle of the sip onwards dries out some with banana esters coming to the fore more, some soft barnyard funk and wood, loads of floral guava popping as the beer warms and melding with the esters, nice soft bitterness from the wood, lingering guava and white wine vibes. Medium-bodied, failrly fine active carbonation. Nice tropical fruited ale once you adapt to the initial acidity, the pineapple when cold transfers to guava when warmer. Shame the brewery has since closed.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with a medium foamy head with very limited retention and limited lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some fruit and more specifically mango notes. Taste is also a mix of mango notes with some tart notes and light funky ester. Body is about average with medium carbonation. Enjoyable fruited sour with good balance overall.
