Meet Basement's outgoing little brother. A little less business, a lot more party. We add in passionfruit, orange and guava for a big ass tropical kick taking you out of the basement and straight to the islands.

Pours a crystal clear golden color with a foamy white head that blankets the glass with lacing. Gorgeous beer.
The nose is tropical fruit, specifically ripe orange, passion fruit, and guava as stated in the description, and that’s where the taste lands.
The mouthfeel is medium and dry, fitting this tropical juice bomb. Very well done.

Appearance: Hazy light amber. Fluffy white head, good retention.
Aroma: Alcohol mild, oranges and tangerines. Fruity esters.
Flavor: Citrus, spicy, Moderate to aggressive bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, drying. High astringency. Medium finish.
Overall: Cloudy appearance was a detractor. I think my sample may have had a flaw, had a nail polish like aroma initially. Citrus fruit aroma prominent. Medium body and dryness straight through to the finish. Aroma of beer is not that pleasant. Bitterness is overly aggressive and sticky. Has a strange sourness I can't quite finger. Comparing to Three Taverns Passion on Ponce POG, Three Taverns is much better.

Absolutely delicious beer, especially for its high ABV. This is up there with the best sour ales around.

If ever a beer came close to simulating Brownian motion, this was it...
...This had a bunch of yeast floating in it, more than I have ever witnessed - it was actually something to behold and admire. The rest of the beer was just about what I have had as far as IPAs are concerned. One of the better ones, yes, but other than the seminal look this has, it's okay and solid enough.

16 oz can from Georgia with a 5 August 2021 canning date stamped on the bottom. Served in a Tervis at the Fall 2021 Suwannee Roots Revival festival.
This is a lightly hazy orange-amber ale that comes with a good off-white head.
It's quite fruity with significant additions of orange, guava and passion fruit as well as, I would guess, some tropical fruit notes from the hops. Well hidden ABV.
