Paradise Punch Sour
Hi-Wire Brewing

Hawaiian Punch nostalgia. Looks like it (but a little darker). Smells like it (wonderfully). There’s an air of it on the tongue, but it’s almost like a seltzer in that there’s very little actual taste past the traces. Very fun, and highly drinkable, especially for a hot day on the lake. But certainly not a high quality, nuanced kettle sour.

Just like taking the tastebuds on a tropical vacation, Hi-Wire brewers reach far and wide for the perfect blend of fruit flavors to quench the thirst, refresh the palate and reward the senses. This beer tastes just like a luau.

Hazy mauve and floating a soft and slightly pink froth, Paradise Punch Sour teases the senses with tropical fruit, dark berry, citrus and cider. As the tangy ale splashes the tastebuds, the senses are awaken with a brisk acidity of lime, lemon, green apple and gooseberry with an overcast of additional fruit flavors redolent with pineapple, passionfruit, guava and papaya before trailing into a kool-aid finish.

Light, drinkable and thirst quenching, the ale doesn't quite reach the dry sourness that more brisk beers carry, rendering the session somewhat flat and watery- not all that bad when wanting a crushable beverage.
