Game Over - Passionfruit & Guava
Barrel Culture Brewing and Blending

Appearance: Pours clear golden color with a thin cap; spots of lace drip down

Smell: Very acetic, with an almost chemical aspect that overwhelms the fruit

Taste: Acetic with the passion fruit stronger than the guava, which barely makes an impression; harsh finish with the chemical aspect apparent

Mouthfeel: Medium body with low to moderate carbonation; a lot of pucker

Overall: This is hard to drink as it is very sour but the fruit doesn't come through the way it should

 

 

 

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy golden hue with a thin white head that fades to leave light wisps. Really bright.

S - Aromas of big sweet tropical fruits, great guava paste and passion fruit galore. Nice tart fruit paste, light acidity.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice passion fruit and guava paste. Very nice tartness, almost too much in fact. There is a little solvent flavour on the finish.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, good tartness but incredibly acidic.

O - Overall this was a very solid sour ale with very aggressive tartness. Still that weird solvent on the finish clashes big time.

Serving Type: bottle

Decent fizzy foamy small head, little lacing, murky orange color

Nose big passion fruit guava, tart funky sour wheat, citrus tropical notes, acidity, funk, etc

Taste quite tart, acidic with a little solventy glue, passion fruit guava and tropical, fair acidity, mild creamy wheat, super tart funky and acidic, little apricot and citrus, hint bitterness, tangy acidic finish

Mouth is med to lighter bod, light carb, quite a bit of acidity

Overall has some incredible fruit but flaws like solventy on the flavor, nose was great but didn't explode like I thought it might.
