Junkyard Mama's Trip to Hawaii

Junkyard Mama's Trip to Hawaii. Fruited Sour.
6.2 % AV. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.

Clouded, deep, murky crimson coloring, slightly pinkish, nearly raspberry-ish, with a small white head, gone in no time.

In the nose: A trifle tart, overwhelmingly fruity, getting sweeter as we go.

In the mouth: More tart, more sweet, and lots more fruity. Juicy, juicy, juicy. Pineapple, mango, guava, and hibiscus. It's got the goods. And then some. Good balance between sour and sweet. Sweet wins out, in the end.

Tasty treat, and quite refreshing.

We brewed this mouth-watering tropical treat with a hint of hibiscus and conditioned it on passionfruit, guava, pineapple, mango, blood orange, tangerine, and apricot, plus a little tropical punch drink mix.

This last part strikes me utterly unnecessary. They put in seven different fruits, and then need to throw in some packets of Hi-C?
