About this product
Tropical fruit. Refreshing tartness. Summer in a glass.
Limited Edition 39 is Hope Brewery’s vibrant take on the modern fruited sour — a bright, refreshing beer that brings together the exotic sweetness of pineapple and passion fruit with the lively acidity that makes sour beers so irresistibly drinkable. Bursting with tropical character from the first sip, it is designed to be refreshing, flavourful, and wonderfully moreish.
Sour beers have become one of the most exciting categories in craft brewing, offering an alternative to hop bitterness by focusing on fruit, acidity, and balance. Here, Hope combines two fruits that seem made for the style. Pineapple contributes juicy sweetness and a hint of tangy freshness, while passion fruit adds an unmistakable tropical aroma and a vibrant, zesty edge. Together they create a beer that feels bright, energetic, and perfectly suited to relaxed drinking occasions. Hope has used pineapple and passion fruit successfully in previous sour releases, pairing whole fruit purée with a tart sour base to balance juicy fruit sweetness against refreshing acidity.
At an approachable 4.8% ABV, Limited Edition 39 remains highly drinkable despite its bold fruit character. The sourness refreshes rather than overwhelms, allowing the tropical flavours to shine while keeping the finish clean and inviting. For craft beer drinkers in Ireland, it's the kind of beer that immediately transports you somewhere warmer, whether enjoyed on a sunny afternoon, shared with friends, or paired with food.
Why we love it:
What makes this style so appealing is the balance between fruit and acidity. The pineapple brings juicy sweetness and tropical depth, while the passion fruit delivers aromatic intensity and a natural tartness that works beautifully with the sour base. The result is vibrant without being sugary, refreshing without being aggressively sour. It’s a beer that feels playful and approachable while still showcasing the creativity and technical skill that define Hope’s limited-edition releases.

Tasting notes
Appearance
Bright golden-yellow with a light natural haze and a lively white head.
Aroma
Fresh pineapple, ripe passion fruit, tropical citrus, and subtle notes of mango and melon.
Palate
Juicy tropical fruit arrives immediately, led by sweet pineapple and tangy passion fruit. A refreshing tartness develops through the mid-palate before giving way to a clean, crisp finish with lingering tropical fruit character. Little hop presence allows the fruit and acidity to remain centre stage.
Food pairing
The tropical fruit character and refreshing acidity make Limited Edition 39 an excellent food beer, particularly alongside dishes that benefit from a bright citrus-like lift.
Pair it with:
- Fish tacos with fresh salsa
- Grilled prawns or seafood
- Thai and Vietnamese cuisine
- Goat's cheese or creamy soft cheeses
- Fruit-based desserts and cheesecakes
- Perfect for garden parties, summer gatherings, and relaxed evenings
Serve well chilled to maximise its vibrant fruit aroma and refreshing character.
