Tiki Trouble

Tap to rate

Full-bodied and creamy, this pastry sour is packed to the brim with exotic fruit (pineapple, mango, apricot and banana) with a coconut aroma on top, bringing a proper tiki vibe straight into the glass. Lactose, oats and wheat malt go into the brew alongside the fruit, and it is made in Middelfart, where Gamborg grew out of a cellar and a garage.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and creamy on entry, with the exotic fruit character translating directly to the palate—pineapple and mango blend with creamy banana notes. The lactose and oat base amplifies the smooth, pastry-like mouthfeel, while a gentle acidity cuts through without aggression, balancing sweetness with tartness throughout the mid-palate.
