Picked this baby up at Bellport Beer and Soda on our way back from an aborted walk with our dog.(The dog knew it was too cold for a walk but apparently we did not!)
22oz bomber found snugged in the back with some other Blind Bat treasures.
Pours a clear, pale yellow-orange. "BREWED WITH GALAXY HOPS!" it proudly proclaims. You can tell right away in the nose. Dominant scent of passion fruit though, due to my limited exposure to passion fruit, I might have described it as a mellow citrus / honey scent. But passion fruit it is and it's present in each mouthful. That and what I still consider to be a honey-like taste. Slightly dry finish.
A very nice beer and, though I hate using this word because it's been bandied about too much of late, "sessionable". Though, on second thought, it is perhaps a bit sweetish for me. At 4.1% ABV I could probably drink a barrel of this but I think it would be best served paired with something fitting for a summer picnic: sticky, sweet ribs, watermelon, or sorbet comes to mind.
Not normally a huge fan of low ABV brews but this one is quite nice. Great job, Paul!
