A Note on This Beer

Until recently, I’d never heard of a calamansi fruit. 

But, I had heard of Commonwealth Brewing! These guys revamped a historic fire station into what the local culture experts at Hoodline.com call the #1 Brewery in the state. 

They have stacks on stacks of reviews praising their flavorful brews, so if I trust anyone to introduce me to a new fruit in delicious beer form, it’s this crew. 

These flavor pioneers juiced up today’s Marmalada Sour IPA with calamansi, which I now know is a citrus hybrid that boasts lemonade and limeade flavors. Then, to deepen the brew’s complexity, they added tangy-sweet kumquat and orange. To finish it off, they smoothed the brew out with creamy lactose. 

The final result is a delightful dance between sweet creamsicle and succulent lemon drops on the tongue. Every sip opens up the palate to more flavorful intricacy!

At a very drinkable 6.7% ABV, the bottom of the can comes all too soon. But, it’s okay to crack open another right away — I also learned that calamansi fruit is really high in antioxidants, so we can pretend it’s healthy! 

This Sour IPA marks Commonwealth Brewing’s debut on Tavour!

Not at all IPA-like. Nice orange with both juice and peel. Decent body and. Tart finish. Kinda’ like a big Schöfferhofer, just more orange than grapefruit.

All I can say is wow... one of my favorites... Smooth and creamy, bursting with citrus flavors. The colors definitely represents the taste.

It harkened back to my childhood, of glasses of Donald Duck orange juice. The pure citrus punch is truly magnificent! The perfect balance achieved hides the underlying fact that it’s an IPA. Bravo to Commonwealth for this treasure!
