Tap to rate

Double Past Present Pretzel arrives in an invitingly hazy golden yellow, signaling the tropical register that unfolds in the glass. Diced pineapple, creamy mango popsicle, and guava dominate the nose—a fruit-forward profile that sets expectations high. The palate delivers on them: bright citrus and stone fruit notes layer atop a light, multigrain malt character that keeps the beer from tipping into heaviness.

A beer for the late afternoon or early evening when you want complexity without confrontation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vivid tropical fruit—diced pineapple, creamy mango popsicle, and guava establish the beer's front-facing identity. Beneath these sits a warm, multigrain Malz foundation that anchors the fruit without overshadowing it. The hop presence is fruit-forward rather than herbal, complementing the stone fruit notes with citrus whispers.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is bright and layered: stone fruit and citrus brightness arrive first, supported by a light, clean multigrain Malz character that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The mid-palate remains soft and approachable, with creamy texture providing body without heaviness. A gentle bitter edge emerges in the fade—restrained enough to feel harmonious rather than confrontational.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
