Tropical-Themed Tart Beers

Muddy York Brewing Relaunched the Iconic Liliko’i Passionfruit Sour Ale

In honor of Muddy York Brewing's 4th anniversary, the Toronto-based brewery relaunched its iconic Liliko’i Passionfruit Sour Ale. Taking a "less is more" approach to brewing, the Liliko’i Passionfruit Sour Ale is handcrafted with high-quality ingredients. Named after the Hawaiian word for passionfruit, this ale is highly acidic and ferociously aromatic. As its namesake suggests, the beer features notes of sweet passionfruit along with "a clean, lemony-tart puckering quality of a sour ale."

The Muddy York Brewing Liliko’i Passionfruit Sour Ale targets adventurous beer drinkers in search of new and flavorful variants. The re-released sour ale offers consumers a refreshingly light and tart beverage in time for the warm spring weather.
