Brauerbräu

The bone-dry finish is what got me—it cuts through the tropical fruit so cleanly that I'd opened a second can before I even realized the first was gone. That white grape zest keeps it interesting without being sweet. Exactly what I want from a 5% pale ale on a warm evening.

That passionfruit and guava hit right up front, but the white grape zest keeps it from getting too sweet—I finished my six-pack in two nights and immediately ordered more.

The passionfruit and guava really come through on the nose, but it’s that white grape zing on the finish that keeps me pouring another glass. At 5% it’s dangerously easy to session on a warm evening.
