Arizona Wilderness Brewing Puffy w/ Passion Fruit
Recently, I had the pleasure of sampling a robust, vibrant brew from Arizona Wilderness Brewing, the Puffy w/ Passion Fruit. The brewers describe this unique concoction as a “decadent dessert sour with flavors of the paletas dipped in sweet cream” and boast a “soft, comforting body.” Having tried it myself, I can affirm that the marketing matches the product, and then some. This beer truly captures the essence of its components in a playful, palatable symphony that falls nothing short of excellence. Sweet, tart, and earthy tones are all on display here, and the overall result is an undeniably pleasing experience.
Appearance and Aroma 12/15
As soon as the beer is poured, you notice its beautiful and splendidly refreshing look that is as inviting as a cool oasis in the desert. Puffy w/ Passion Fruit sports a golden color with a distinctive bubbly eros that vouches for its fruity nature, and a slightly cloudy, three-finger thick head marks its potent brew. The aroma is a delightful array of passion fruit clouded sweetness, complemented subtly by a hint of wheat body. It’s an overture to a symphony that is as pleasant as any I’ve experienced.
Flavor 18/20
Moving on from appearance and aroma, I take my first sip and am overwhelmed by the explosion of flavors. The passion fruit is instantly apparent, and it expresses itself beautifully through a surprising balance of sweetness and tartness. The brew is light, yet it envelops your taste buds with its glory. The teasing soft cider-like tartness is delicately juxtaposed with an indistinct spice and earthy notes. The lightly toasted malt backbone gives it a distinctive beer character that adds to the complexity of the flavor profile.
Mouthfeel 5/5
The Puffy w/ Passion Fruit demonstrates its prowess in the ‘mouth feels’ department as well. Despite its sweetness, the beer doesn’t compromise on its texture. The wheat body introduces a pleasant weightlessness that is genuinely refreshing. It is contemporary in its lightness but traditional in its malt construction, making it incredibly gratifying for the modern beer consumer.
Summary
In conclusion, Arizona Wilderness Brewing’s Puffy w/ Passion Fruit is an exceptional brew with a character as sunny and intriguing as its home state. It is an experience worth the adjectives – thrilling, unique, refreshing – that it so effortlessly incites. With a great score of 96/100, this beer deserves to be celebrated for its sophistication and whimsy.
