Berliner Weisse 8.5 º

Garage Beer Co
Tripping Animals Brewing Co.

Bostik is a colossal Imperial Berliner Weisse that radiates a tropical intensity through a staggering addition of guava, pink grapefruit, and passion fruit. This collaboration between Garage Beer Co and Tripping Animals delivers a sun-drenched sensory experience, where the sharp lactic tartness of the base style is amplified by the vibrant acidity of the citrus and tropical fruit. A substantial grist featuring a massive amount of flaked oats creates a lush, smoothie-like texture that carries the high alcohol content with graceful density. Intense aromas of ripe guava and zesty grapefruit lead into a thick, creamy palate, balancing the underlying bready wheat with a concentrated fruit character.

Appearance. Deep pinkish-orange to hazy peach in color; completely opaque with a smoothie-like density. Features a small, pink-tinted head with poor retention and light lacing, typical of high-fruit and high-alcohol sours.

Aroma. High intensity with a dominant, complex tropical profile of ripe guava and tangy passion fruit. Sharply sour citrus notes of pink grapefruit provide a bright top note, backed by a clean lactic acidity and a subtle, doughy wheat and oat malt character.

Taste. Initial impression is a powerful burst of tropical fruit and clean lactic sourness. Intense flavors of passion fruit and guava saturate the palate, followed by the tart, slightly pithy character of pink grapefruit. The heavy oat presence provides a grainy, sweet malt backbone that balances the high acidity. Hop bitterness is undetectable; the finish is long and fruit-forward with a lingering, creamy tartness.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied with a thick, creamy, and viscous smoothie-like texture. Carbonation is moderate to low. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, complementing the dense mouthfeel without being harsh or astringent.
