Never Nude is a sour ale that started life on a base of wheat and oats. Next it was heavily whirlpooled with mosaic hops and fermented with our house ale yeast. After re-fermentation on heaps of passionfruit, we blasted it with a heavy mosaic dry hop. This process gives way to a tangy and aromatic flavor bomb that presents the characteristics of our hoppy ales, but finishes with a mild acidity and a massive burst of tropical fruit. There are dozens of us… dozens!

Had on tap at the brewery. Not much to change about this beer. Head retention sucks but that seems to be a trend with passion fruit beers (definitely a very oily fruit). Mosaic and passion fruit seem to love each other. Can’t figure out where one ends and the other begins. Drinks very dry/refreshing - not really a winter beer. Not getting the metallic quality mentioned below, nor the pucker, kind of a middle of the road sourness and a pretty soft body that finishes dry.

Pint can: Mosiac Passionfruit Sour Ale 1/12/19
Looks like a combination of pineapple and orange juice, lightly fermented. The fine white foam dissipates quick and then dissapears.
Fruity hop aroma dominated by....you guessed it! Passionfruit. The nose is pretty much dominated by a sweet fruitiness, except for a metallic tang from the yeast.
Whoa. Sour face!! Pucker up. This thing tastes like biting into an orange peel, or citrus seeds, or a bitter pill. Especially in the finish. The crazy tart passionfruit totally dominates and mixes rather strangely with Mosiac hops. The funky sour yeast is metallic and SOUR. The bitter, metallic bite is a bit tough to handle honestly, as it's never rounded out or hidden by any other ingredients.
The feel is light at first, harshly dry and more medium bodied in the finish.
This one is simply too sour for me, (although my seemed to like it just fine) the long, bitter and metallic left-over taste is something I will not soon forget. (unfortunately)
