Just Tapped - Passion Fruit IPA
Deschutes Brewery

 

Pours a hazy amber color. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Decent retention and great lacing. Smells of citrus hops, hint of floral, hint of tea, strong citrus, and sweet malt. Fits the style of an American IPA. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with an average carbonation level. There is a slight bitterness. Tastes of citrus hops, hint of floral, hint of tea, strong citrus, slight pale malt, hint of rice, and sweet malt. Overall, average appearance, aroma, but a good feel.

I tried this from the bottle poured chilled in a Deschutes teku
the color is amber hazed with light head with fine bead
aroma is lightly fruity with subtle tropical scent and somewhat herbal hop aroma
the feel is decent with mild bitterness and light fruity texture with dry body and slight spice element with medium high carbonation and mostly dry finish with low astringency and alcohol with fruity slightly spicy end.
The taste has a good combination of fruit with hop flavor both are complimentary with mild melon-like passionfruit with semi-spicy hop character and mild malt with gentle alcohol in the back end
This is a good IPA foremost with the addition of passionfruit not impeding the primary base style which I like, the fruit seems to dry the body more than sweetening and provides more aroma than flavor but worth trying

 

Pours out a deep gold. The head is off-white with moderate retention. Leaves a bit a lacing.

Sweet right out the gate with just a touch of bitterness. The passion fruit passion fruit come through nicely laced with your basic citrus fruits. Aroma is strong on this one.

Its juicy. Big passion fruit taste. Most sweet than bitter. Definitely a tame IPA.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation. Its smooth and goes down easy. Still i think it could do with a little more bubbles.

 

 

 

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass.

Golden yellow color with nice head and lacing. Pleasant fruity, slightly floral smell. Taste has a fruity sweetness and a bit of spice. A good beer and would drink again if the occasion arose.

12 oz bottle, best by 10/18/18. Pours slightly hazy dark golden orange with a small creamy off white head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.

The aroma is sweet tropical fruit.

The flavor is sweet bready malt with tropical fruit and a mild earthy bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, a decent fruity IPA.

 

Upon pour, the head leaves something to be desired. A good whiff of the stuff leaves one thinking that a mouthful of passionfruit is on its way. However, upon taste, the IPA lacks that punchy, fruity flavor. Instead, it tastes like a very normal light IPA, with very subtle notes of tropical flavor. The IPA rolls down the tongue quite nicely, however the aftertaste is nothing reminiscent of passionfruit. Overall, a nice light IPA with subtle fruity notes, but look elsewhere for a strong fruity beer.

 

I got this off the single shelf from the Montgomery Binnys and tried it at my old neighbor house. It poured a clear copper with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had tropical fruit panache. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.
