About This Beer

Cracking open a can of Big Papaya is basically like stepping into a beachside cabana, because the GABF award-winning fruit ninjas at Great Notion aged their Sour wheat base on heaps of ripe papaya and passion fruit.

Tasting Notes

Each lush swig absolutely gushes with a torrent of tropical juice. Candied notes of the eponymous produce cascade over bright, tangy zings of passion fruit all the way to a finish rippling with a mild, lemony zest.

It’s exactly what it says. It’s tart, and it’s papaya. 10/10

The aromatics were OMG, the flavor didn’t match the impressiveness of the nose, but still, that papaya tho

Definitely tastes like papaya. I get a lot of sourness but I'm not sure if that's just the high carbonation.

This sour is amazing!!! It's light, crisp, tangy, and full of papaya flavor without going overboard. Wish I had bought more of it!!

Suuuuper tasty! Loved this but the tropical fruit flavors became kind of overwhelming the more you drank! Still an awesome beer but it wasn’t my favorite
