Tasting Notes

Big notes of bruised tropical and citrus fruits, a pleasant malty backbone, mild oak character, and lighter notes of herbs and spice. The tomatillo and prickly ash are present but play a supporting role in this highly complex beer.

Ingredients

Nothing is published under the winning name. The brewery's Tomatillo Sour Ale page lists a 6.2% ABV collaboration farmhouse ale with Purpose Brewing, says "The tomatillo and prickly ash are present but play a supporting role in this highly complex beer," and that it "rested in oak barrels for 16 months" (Templin Family: Tomatillo Sour Ale). These details are kept out of the structured fields because the two names are not confirmed to be the same beer.

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline has no style with the competition category's name; its nearest styles include Belgian-Style Flanders Oud Bruin or Oud Red Ale (4.8 to 6.6 percent ABV, 5 to 18 IBU) and Contemporary Belgian-Style Spontaneous Fermented Ale (5.0 to 8.9 percent ABV, 11 to 23 IBU). The likely match's 6.2% ABV would fit both, but no specs are published under the winning name.

Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: Further collaboration searches found Tomatillo Sour references but did not establish the Tomatillo Bier alias. No ABV, IBU, hop names or qualifying beer URL were accepted.
• The brewery's beer list has no Tomatillo Bier; the only tomatillo beer is Tomatillo Sour Ale (CoLab and Limited series, barrel aged with tomatillo and prickly ash). It is very likely the winner but this is not confirmed, so beer url, ABV and adjuncts are left empty.
• The web search budget ran out before press or Untappd could be searched to confirm the name.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: Searches for Tomatillo Bier, Untappd, BeerMenus and 2026 medal coverage did not establish that the winner is the Tomatillo Sour Ale already discussed above. No additional accepted values; structured fields remain empty.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery page (Tomatillo Sour Ale, a collaboration with Purpose Brewing) gives 6.2% ABV, tasting notes, the tomatillo and prickly ash, and 16 months in oak barrels.
