Brewed to highlight Taiwan’s legendary fruits, Kumquat's staggeringly bright citrus fragrance comes from a massive dose of locally-grown fresh Calamansi. Soft malt notes complement the fruit addition, and a hefty dose of wheat adds substantial body to every sip.

On tap at the brewery pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice tropical kumquat i guess some tartness. Taste is more of the nice tropical citrus kumquat notes a little tart.

Fat på Brewskival 2023. Lätt disig gulorange med vit krona. Ganska mycket vad det annonserar. Kölsch med kumquats. Mycket citrus, kumquats, citrus skal mot en relativt stabil kölsch i botten. Rejält med kumquats. Helt ok, men kanske inget som sticker ut nämnvärt.

TAIHU Kumquat Kolsch 5% Paler than the IPA bit a smidge, I’d say this is kind of honey gold with a grainy malt aroma overlaid with yeasty ripe kumquats. Very effervescent almost seltzer like, prickly and even gassy. The taste is kumquat then a dry finish featuring crackery malts. Alright but too gassy for me.

On tap at Driftwood, pours a cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out cereal grains, with some kumquat notes, and light pith. Flavour is pretty laid back, with lots of cereal grains and a hint of kumquat. Pretty ordinary stuff.
