Tropical Tart Passionfruit Sour

When making a fruit beer there are two schools of thought: one says to lightly incorporate it and allow the base beer to shine through; the other says use so much fruit that the person drinking it might not realize it’s a beer. Tropical Tart is the latter. A simple wheat beer hopped with tropical heavyweights Citra and Galaxy is co-fermented with gobs of the super fruits pomegranate and passionfruit. The result is, technically, a delicious fruit beer, but let’s be honest – it’s basically juice. Easy drinking, summery as heck, and very food friendly, Tropical Tart is a fan favourite that we look forward to brewing every year.
