Hexotic
Area Two Experimental Brewing

 

Had on tap at the brewery. Pours clear, gold in color, with half inch head. Taste is tropical fruit salad. I can pick out mango papaya, pineapple and sour mix. Sweet and sour, moderate carbonation, light body. Another good sour from Two Roads/Area Two. While I prefer several of their other sours, this one is quite good. I would get it again.

 

 

On-tap at Falling Rock Tap House, Denver, CO

A: The beer is rather hazy yellow in color. It poured with just a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of sourness and Belgian yeast are present in the nose.
T: The taste is a little sour and mostly has flavors of sour fruits - apricots and raspberries seem to stand out in particular.
M: This beer is rather tart and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The beer has a pleasant blend of sourness and fruity flavors.

Serving type: on-tap

 

 

 

Sample at the Sour Beer fest in Boston on 6/15/2019
Light tart and funk with lots of tropical fruit flavor and aroma.

 

Appearance: Arrives amber colored with a slight chill haze; no head and not much lacing

Smell: A tropical fruit cocktail inclusive of some relatively rare fruits; mango, passionfruit and guanabana most prominent

Taste: The mango leads off but the guanabana and then the passionfruit add some additional sweetness that merges into the tart aspect; orange tones build, through the middle; some oak, after the swallow joins the sweet and tart elements; somewhat puckery finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with low carbonation

Overall: Despite the lack of carbonation, I really enjoyed the creative fruit combination
