Passionfruit Sour Ale

On tap at Kombinat. It's an unclear orange colored beer with a small white head. Passionfruit, cellar hints, tartness, some pale malts, orange zest and some generic fruity notes in the aroma. It's full to medium bodied, smooth and nicely carbonated, with flavors of passion fruit dominating. Orange, tartness, generic tropical fruits and a piney touch in the flavour. Lasting finish. A very refreshing and tasteful beer that would do well on a hot summer day. 170923

Tap @ Kombinat, Kristiansand. Hazy yellow body with a small, but lacing white head. Aroma has lemon, passionfruit minerals and yogurt. Flavor is pretty much as expected from aroma, rather sour, light and refreshing. Medium to light bodied with mostly acidic aftertaste. Nice and easy, but a bit too much of a lightweight for my taste.

Tap sold by Yellow Ape at the Beer Zen Salt Valley Event. Breakside Passionfruit A cloudy matte brass color with a tangy passionfruit aroma. Light bodied and zesty wheat plus lots of acidic sour passionfruit. Refreshing and the cleanest sour I had at this event. I liked this alot.

The Eighth Beer of my #6000 celebration (#8 of 13 - six beers on either side of 6000 and the milestone itself). Completely clear orange and copper coloured body with a large pure white head, about six centimetres tall that fades quickly, just like soda and just like real Berliner Weisses do, in Berlin. Aroma of sour grapes, yeast, bread, light grass and a bunch of tropical fruits, but passionfruit isn’t the strongest. Light-bodied; Yeastie and bready flavours at first that show some mellow fruits, a lot of malt flavours (without the body) and a dry, almost saison-y like finish of flowers and grass. Aftertaste shows some flowers, dry malt, tropical fruit sweetness and a very mild sour lactic and funky flavour with a good deal of effervescence. Overall, a decent beer, but nothing too special, and definitely not one I should have kept for so long and saved for a ’special’ rating. Nice to try from Oregon by way of Hawaii and back to the other end of our fair country to sample at home in [the real] Washington. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Tamura’s Market in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii on 31-December-2015 for US$7,49 sampled at home in Washington on 20-March-2017.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head quickly recedes to skim surface. Lactic passionfruit aromas. Sharp and sweet with passionfruit and mango upfront turning mildly tart before the abrupt marshmallow finish.
