Pours a cloudy, deep amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells quite intensely of passion fruit, with hints of biscuity malt and lactic acidity also coming through. Taste is a good balance of light biscuity malt and a distinct passion fruit character, with a light underlying acidity. Finishes with a light acidity and some passion fruit lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
This makes for a nice Kettle Sour with an absolutely lovely, quite vibrant, passion fruit aroma in the nose, which is still distinct on the tongue, but gets somewhat diluted by quite a boozy aftertaste, while it's also a bit too sweet and not quite acidic enough for my personal taste. It still makes for an enjoyable, quite fruity brew that captures that sweet, musty and slightly acidic essence of passion fruit well, but I don't get why this needs to be 11% ABV to be honest, or any of those 10%+ ABV Fruited Kettle Sours that have been cropping up lately. To me, a beer like this is supposed to be light and refreshing, with a vibrant fruit character and distinct acidity, while those overly sweet and boozy notes give a certain heavy and overripe character to these brews that I'm personally not a huge fan of.
