Fruit Beer
ABV: 5.0%
IBU: 20
RATING
87
For a long time this beer was available only at the brewery, but it became so popular, the brewery decided to send it into the world in large, 22-ounce bottles. It wears a reddish-orange hue and a foamy white crown. Sweet orange and pinapple punctuate the aroma, and those same juicy flavors sink into the tongue on the first swallow. Biscuity wheat and barley tones play in the background, and hops pop in with slightly peppery flavors and low bitterness -- just enough kick to make the sweetness increasingly palatable. In all, this is a lively fruit beer with bubbly carbonation and a clean finish that energizes the palate and satisfies a fruit beer curiosity.
