Funkwerks Tropic King Saison.8% ABV, 30 IBU.
Funkwerks, Fort Collins, CO.
Clear, bold golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: fruit and booze are popping. Ripe citrus and stone. Belgian yeast pokin' in. I'm liking this.
In the mouth: Yum. Flat-out yum. Delicious-o. Medium hops, moderate malt, big Belgian yeast, little bit of bubblegum. Citrus and stone fruit, again. And the alcohol comes roaring in. It's a clever combination that pulls me in every time. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Hoppiness is huge, matched by booze, slight spice and pepper balancing it out. Very tasty, very rewarding. I like this one a lot.
Originally designed to be a hoppier version of our flagship Saison, the accidental (but fortuitous) addition of two extra bags of Munich malt balanced out the hop bitterness leaving us this very unique beer. Tropic King bursts with fruity tropical characteristics from the use of New Zealand hop varietals. This beer is a flavor extravaganza that has developed a loyal following. Notes of passion fruit, mango, pepper, and ginger.
