Product Overview

Style & Flavor Profile
- Style: Imperial Fruited Sour Ale
- Aroma: Bursting with exotic, tropical fruit aromas—pineapple, mango, papaya, and hints of passionfruit—backed by a tart, lactic edge that signals a sour bite.
- Taste: A powerhouse of tangy, juicy fruit flavors. The acidity is pronounced but balanced by a touch of residual sweetness from the hefty fruit additions, while the 12% ABV provides noticeable warmth and body.
- Body & Mouthfeel: Fuller-bodied than typical sour ales due to the elevated alcohol and plentiful fruit content. Moderate carbonation brightens the palate, but overall you can expect a richer, smoother mouthfeel than lighter sours.
