Deep Depths - Passionfruit, Apricot, Peach, Coconut
HOMES Brewery

Opaque orange juice body, orangey white head. Smell and taste are clones: huge peach and passionfruit hit the apricot, coconut, light pineapple, and hints of papaya in a refreshing way, with light tartness. Feel is bright, juicy, has a blended smoothie feel without the thick viscosity. Can't believe this has alcohol, tastes like tropical juice. Would be ideal in mid to late summer

Not being very familiar with fruit smoothie beers, I'm not sure exactly how to rate this. It's quite enjoyable though, and chockful of fruit. Mango and passion fruit dominate, with minimal coconut. Some very slight butyric acid from the souring on the nose, but thankfully it's drowned out on the palate.

 

16 FL OZ can
Served in a HOMES wine glass

This beer pours light shade of orange. It is thick almost like a purée. Large bubbles sit on top. They look like they are coated in a fine powder.

The peach, apricot and passionfruit are in your face and easily discernible. The coconut appears to be absent.

The fruit assaults my palate with juicy goodness. There is just an insane amount of flavor. Coconut seems to have phoned it in.

Thick bodied with a puréed fruit mouthfeel

This beer is absolutely delicious. It is all fruit, no coconut or alcohol. HOMES continues to blow my mind.

Nearly exploding out of the can, we quickly pour a glowing neon orange ribbon of what presents as straight mango puree in the glass, which then builds one of the most unusual heads I've ever seen. It's a tall pile of tan-yellow tapioca that does not move or jiggle, and retains as an impenetrably thick yet airy foam barrier to the beer. It's like you can't even consume it, it just resists puncture in the strangest way. I mean it, really, it looks just like tapioca.

Taste is tart passion fruit with a thick apricot juiciness finishing fairly chewy dry. While there's nothing off or unusual here in flavor, and it's actually decently enjoyable, the unusual feel the head gives off at the lips promotes a pervasive uneaseiness to drinking it.
