Prodigal Sunrise
Surly Brewing Co.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden color with amber highlights and a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of tart fruits, passion fruit and lemon. Sweet passionfruit taste with lots of tartness. Some caramel sweetness.

Pours a hazy, two finger head, nectarine colored brew. Aroma is mango and, I think I can tell there's passion fruit. It's that or guava. Taste is very tart and sour; far beyond my meager capacity to enjoy sour. It's fruity but hard to distinguish which fruit, as it is so sour.

 

Hazy golden orange color with a substantial foamy white head that retains well and produces a lot of nice lacing.
The aroma is passion fruit, mango and a hint of lactose, interesting.
The taste is serious passion fruit, a hint of mango and just enough lactose to give a touch of milkshake, tart and juicy.
The body is medium, good carbonation level, juicy and very drinkable. The Imperial level ABV is barely noticeable.
Altogether, this is a very tasty and refreshing brew, but then, I'm fond of sours and passion fruit is my favorite tropical fruit so I might be biased.

Pours golden orange with a very ample and foamy head. Lingers fairly long and gives way to great lacing. The lactose alone isn't enough to explain where all of this surface carbonation is coming from on a kettle sour (oats?), especially with the ABV level, but it's impressive.

The passionfruit aroma is very intense. The mango rather modest.

The flavor isn't complex or nuanced, but if you are going to go for a straight, simple note, the modestly tart passionfruit flavor on this one is pretty solid.

The acidity is deceptively strong, which makes this imperial-strength kettle sour scary drinkable.

What am I drinking? Is this really a kettle sour? Is the ABV really this high?
