Fruit Beer 6.5 º 18 IBU

Yeastie Boys

Born Smiling is a vibrant Fruit Beer built on a Tropical IPA foundation, delivering an exuberant sensory experience. The pour reveals a lush bouquet where ripe mango and sharp passion fruit take center stage, supported by softer undertones of papaya and sweet honeydew melon. On the palate, the 6.5% ABV provides a sturdy, medium-bodied platform for the tropical fruit medley to shine without veering into cloying sweetness. The hop profile complements the fruit additions with citrusy brightness and a clean, firm bitterness that ensures the finish remains crisp and refreshing. It is a harmonious marriage of fruit-forward intensity and classic IPA structure.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (SRM 6-10). Persistent, off-white, creamy head with excellent lacing. Slight haze is present, though the beer remains luminous.

Aroma. High intensity of tropical fruit; dominant notes of fresh mango and tart passion fruit are immediately apparent. Secondary aromas of melon and papaya blend with a moderate citrus hop character. Low bready malt sweetness provides a clean background with no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit juice—mango and papaya—followed by the tangy zip of passion fruit. Medium hop bitterness provides a necessary counterpoint to the fruit. Malt flavor is low, suggesting cracker or pale bread. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering melon and citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Very light alcohol warmth is appropriate for the strength.
