Passionfruit Blood Orange

This flavor is definitely a juicy one! The tasting journey with this flavor for sure starts in the color. The color is a beautiful sunset red/orange color, from both the vibrant red blood orange and the orange of the dehydrated passion fruit. Moving to the aroma, it has a beautiful fruit forward quality, characteristic of many of our Boochcraft offerings. There is a sweet and tart character to the aroma with passionfruit as the heavy player coming out front and the blood orange following right after, in a one two punch. The sage comes in at the end, giving this flavor a nice earthy quality that helps reduce the heavy juice character of the release in an extremely pleasant way. The final thing to note about the aroma is that it gives the perception of a very sweet Boochcraft release. However, upon first taste what becomes apparent, that while it is sweet, it is far less so than originally perceived from the aroma. The three fruit juices added to this release, passion fruit, blood orange and lime are all very tart fruit. While they do individually have some sweetness, each definitely brings about more of a tart punch and flavor. The profile is a beautiful combination of the slight sweetness, but with a bright pop of tart acidity. Just like with the aroma, the passion fruit comes out first with a bright tart and almost tropical flavor. Then comes in a nice general citrus flavor of an orange, where what it lacks in sweetness it makes up for bright acidity. The blood orange is the predominant flavor in the middle and the end of this release. Finally, the sage comes in at the end in a nice earthy and almost tannic flavor that rounds out the acidity so that it is not overwhelming and entices you to keep drinking. -Kyle Oliver, Liquid Art Lab Innovation Scientist
