Hazy gold beer, little white head. Palate is light and crisp. Minerals. Mild orange, a little cream in the malt. The Paw Paw is subtle but definitely there. Crisp finish. Not bad but of you going to call your beer after a fruit then why not showcase the fruit rather than apologise for it?

22 oz bottle purchased at Bella Vino in Athens, Ohio. The pour is a lightly hazed orange golden, with a smallish off white head. The aroma is lightly sweet fruit (sort of a mix between grape, pear and maybe a hint of tropical fruit?), a touch of phenol, and a bit of fruit skin earthiness. The taste is light cracker malt, the fruit sweetness, soft and naturally sweet, and a bit of the yeast and phenol in the back. The fruit in the taste is similar to the nose, a natural grape, pear tropiacl fruit sweetness. It’s interesting, and quite unique. The palate is medium to light bodied, a lower soft carbonation level, and the yeasty sweet aftertaste. Interesting beer for certain. I have never tasted PawPaw fruit, and I think my understanding of this beer would improve if I had.

Clear amber-gold pour with a medium fluffy white head that evaporates slowly. Sticky rings of lacing. Aroma of sweet fruit and malt. Medium body with a sweet stone fruit character that can only be Paw Paw (which I have only tasted via Ohio beers) along with some yeast and bready malt. The finish is sweet with a lingering slightly tart fruit aftertaste. Decent overall.
