Triple Haole Punch pours a murky and deep orange with a a lush and foamy one finger head depositing no lacing. The smell...wow! Juicy tropical fruits. This is POG juice in full season; pineapple, orange and guava with orange rind bitterness. The taste has no indication of the 10% but it's a bit tart with some citrus zest over the palette but all juice, big guava, orange and ripe pineapple.

Prominent, sweet passionfruit/guava and citrus tart nose on this one! Taste follows well with the tropical fruit notes and then a subtle orange citrus finish. This hides the 10% ABV almost too well! Nice depth but lacks only in mouthfeel a bit...still great!

Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2018, Green Session. Aroma has tart, zesty and citrusy notes with passionfruit notes. Taste has tart passionfruit, bitter fruit seeds and dry finish.

Thanks, Chris.

A hazy orange with a dense, off-white head that falls off to a ring rapidly leaving little lacing, this looks solid. The nose is pure guava juice with a nice passionfruit note and some blood orange notes. The guava notes is pure, floral, fruity, mildly pulpy and ripe. The palate opens sour, almost bracingly so, with a strong lactic sourness, along with some lemon juice and preserved lemon-like funk. The mid-palate has most of the fruit, with the guava dominating, and with some passionfruit. Again, the guava expression is flawless. The finish is a little rough, with the tartness taking a mild medicinal note. Alcohol is shockingly well hidden. Medium in body and moderately carbonated, this beer is slick on the palate. Solid.

Thank you y2kawakami for this
16 oz can, dated 3/13/18, poured into a teku

A- A hazy/murky golden orange with a two finger white head.

S- Sour, tropical, getting more passion fruit and guava than oranges, touch of cereal grains, some strawberries.

T- Sour lemons, oranges, some passion fruit and oranges, touch of grains and lacto, some grapefruit.

M- Smooth, medium body.

O- A very nice sour, almost has an orange juice quality to it. Definitely will make you pucker up.

Served from 16oz can and drank from 20oz Aromatic Snifter glass. Canned on 3/13/18.
Look: Dark yellow in color, with moderate cloudyness. About 2 & 1/2 fingers worth of frothy white head on a fairly non-agressive pour.
Smell: Awesome smelling. I can smell the passionfruit and guava, with an orange-lemony backbone. Some hints of strawberry and blueberry. As I get a big whiff on the beer, I can smell the booze on the drink though, giving a slight singe on my nose.
Taste: Also pretty damn awesome. Guava and passionfruit on the front in, with an acidic citrus fruit finish. The guava and passionfruit are the stars of the show, and are backed up by the orange and other citrus fruit flavors this brew offers. It's damn delicious. There is a lemony, tangerine presence as well, but not nearly as prominent as the guava and passionfruit.
Feel: Light in body and weight. Carbonation is medium to high, bordering closer to medium. Texture is slightly gritty.
Overall: This is a damn good beer. For 10 abv, it masks it well and is quite refreshing. The amount of guava and passionfruit present in this beer is incredible. The tropical flavor adds to a unique and pleasurable brew experience. I highly recommend, and would drink again. I am very grateful to have tried this brew. Cheers!
