Product Details:

• Style: Fruited Pale Ale (American Pale Ale with habanero and fruit adjuncts)
• Estimated ABV: ~6.0%

• Availability: Seasonal/rotating release from Something Brewery

Sensory Description:

Pouring a luminous golden amber, the beer opens with a fragrant wave of fresh tropical fruit – think juicy mango, ripe pineapple, and a hint of citrus zest – followed by an undercurrent of subtle pepper spice. On the palate, the fruit sweetness is lively yet crisp, the habanero adds a warming tingle rather than overpowering heat, and the bitterness remains moderate, giving the finish a spicy-tinged tang that lingers just long enough. The body is light-to-medium, effervescent, and very drinkable, with an aftertaste that leaves you reaching for another.

Brewer's Background:

Something Brewery describes itself as an uncommon and creative brewing company that sets its goals on producing the most creative and inspiring beers for the most unique individuals. Based in Brighton, Colorado, the brewery is known for its imaginative, experimental releases and commitment to providing a playful, exploratory drinking experience. Totes Habanero sits squarely in that ethos, an adventurous mash-up of fruit and spice that shows off the brewery’s willingness to push brew boundaries while still staying approachable.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled around ~44–48 °F (7–9 °C) in a tulip or standard pint glass to capture aroma and maintain carbonation. This beer pairs wonderfully with dishes that can handle a bit of heat: grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa, spicy Thai chicken wings, jalapeño poppers, or even a smoked gouda-and-pepper-jack cheese plate. It’s also a standout pour for patios, spice-loving drinkers, or as a lively contrast to desserts with citrus or cream cheese components.
