Humble Forager’s Humble Bumble V2 is a vibrant Experimental Beer that explodes with tropical intensity. The profile is dominated by the sharp, tangy essence of passion fruit and the lush, juicy weight of mango. Pink Dragon Fruit provides a subtle earthy sweetness and a striking visual hue, while hibiscus blossoms contribute a delicate floral tartness and deep color. The addition of Basswood Honey rounds out the profile with a faint herbal, floral sweetness that balances the natural acidity of the fruit. This fruited seltzer remains exceptionally crisp and refreshing, balancing its dense fruit character with a clean, effervescent finish.
Appearance.Vivid magenta to deep pink hue; slight haze from fruit solids and hibiscus; minimal, fleeting white head with no lacing and high visible effervescence.
Aroma.High intensity of fresh passion fruit and ripe mango. Secondary notes of floral hibiscus and a light, herbal/minty sweetness from Basswood Honey. No malt, hop, or yeast-derived esters are present.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tart passion fruit followed by sweet mango and mild dragon fruit. Hibiscus adds a cranberry-like acidity. Basswood Honey provides a light, floral sweetness in the mid-palate to balance the tartness. The finish is clean, dry, and refreshing with a lingering tropical fruit aftertaste and zero hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Light body with a crisp, refreshing quality. High carbonation provides a prickly sensation on the tongue. No alcohol warmth or astringency, though a slight fruit-skin puckering may occur.
