Pineapple Papaya Fandango
Toppling Goliath Brewing Company

 

 

Clear, orange color. Medium-sized, white head. Papaya, pineapple, and bubblegum in the aroma. Tastes exactly as described: sweet, tart, then sweet again! Well done!

12oz can. Bottom date stamp is 'PKG 04/18/2025'. Label has ABV% as 5%.
Partly cloudy, apple juice yellow/orange colored body. One finger of off white head, but this go all the way to an island and thin ring. Leaves behind some short strings of lacing.
Aroma is predominantly papaya but pineapple is there too. Any lactose scent is low.
Taste is as described by the brewer, this does go immediately sweet, then tart, and then sweet at the end. Sweet aftertaste but it is short lived. Flavors are more balanced between the papaya and the pineapple, also a bit of apple and lemon.
More than medium mouthfeel. Has a nectar-like texture. Supportive carbonation.
Lactose is well hidden.

 

A - Pours a pretty clear orange body, short white head, fading quickly to a tiny cap of micro-bubbles. Lacing is pretty much non-existent, but it is a good looking brew.

S - Pungent nose of tropical fruits, pineapple as expected, but even more the candied papaya, with a soft sour note buzzing beneath throughout.

T - Follows the nose, with pineapple out front, the candied papaya jumps through in the middle, lingering through the close, will a tart acidity trails through the finish.

M - Moderate weight, slight carbonation, some puckering sourness, and a prickly feel over the tongue in the close.

O - I am not a huge fan of either pineapple or papaya, but this brew manages to balance them against a tart sour that offers a total far greater than the parts, in my opinion.

 

 

 

 

Pineapple Papaya Fandango pours a golden color with almost no head. The aroma is filled with pineapple and papaya. The flavor is sweet, with notes of pineapple and papaya. Lighter feel. Overal, very refreshing, with flavors stated on the can.

Fruitiness in aroma is a bit too artificial and flavor is sweeter than I like, but thankfully not cloying. Appearance is remarkably clear and head has good retention for a sour! Pretty darn good actually. But everything is so dialed up to 11 in this one that more than one is hard to consider.

 

 

 

 

Pours a gold color with a foamy head that disappears quickly. Aroma of pineapple. Taste is pineapple and papaya. Starts out a bit tart but finishes very sweet. Enjoyable.

 

A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a moderate to high amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high dense white head that left a large patch of bubbles on the surface, a narrow collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of pineapple and papaya are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and is dominated by flavors of pineapple and papaya. Little to no sourness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. There is a bit of tartness in the mouthfeel.
O: This beer is hardly sour at all and tastes like an adult version of fruit juice. It is very easy to drink.
