Tiki Torture
Pineapple and hints of coconut define this citrus ale, brewed together with Xul Beer Co. The brewery tells it as two teams joining forces under the cloak of night, with a nod to the dark lord of sours. At 5.2% ABV it matches Citrus Sue in strength. Toppling Goliath, the Iowa partner of the collaboration, was founded in Decorah in 2009.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Tiki Torture
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
