- Serving: 12 ounce bottle
- ABV: 5.5%
- IBUs: 5
- Ingredients: Passion fruit tea and passion fruit juice with wheat malt and 2-row malted barley
- Pour: Hazy, bright golden-yellow with lots of tiny bubbles and a very thin, bright white head that dissipates quickly and leaves nearly no lacing.
- Nose: Characterized by fruity Belgian yeast esters and lots of tropical fruit and wheat, the nose is filled with aromas of passion fruit, lemon juice, lemon zest, pink bubblegum, and crackery biscuit.
- Taste: Following the nose, the taste of the Passion Fruit Kicker is very fruity, rather tart, and sweet. There are big notes of sweet and tart passion fruit, lemon, grapefruit, mango, pink bubblegum, and freshly baked wheat bread.
- Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and well-carbonated, the mouthfeel of the Passion Fruit Kicker is very crisp, tart, sweet, and refreshing with a clean slightly dry finish.
Cheers!
