Bottle. Pours a clear light amber beer with a weak head. The aroma is sweet with passionfruit. The flavor follows the nose with some acidity. The palate is dry. Overall a special beer around average.

On tap at brewpub in Kona - Poured urine yellow with small thin head Aroma - tropical fruits, yeast and wheat Flavor - fruity pebbles cereal, yeast and some wheat. Had a hard time finishing! Palate - syrupy thin mouthfeel and had little carbonation. Had this strange fruity clove tasting finish, not what I call good!! Overall - This beer is made for non hop lovers that enjoy fruity drinks. Go figure my wife loved it!!

Bottle. Hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is floral with passion fruit, lemon, banana, and chlorine. Flavors of passion fruit, grain, and lemon. Tart upfront, musty malts toward the back. Medium-thin body with watery mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. If I have this again, I should add some grenadine to it to mask the malt profile.

Tap at the brewpub. Ugly, filtered gold pour. Sweet, fruity american hop aroma. I can’t taste any wheat flavor here, no passion fruit that they claim is in here, just junky extract and "fruit." Bleh.

Bottle: Poured a hazy off yellow with a small white head, aroma was citrus, flavors were slightly sweet, hint of passion fruit, some citrus. Watery mouthfeel

Sampler at Kona brewpub. Odd-looking, was a greenish yellow tint. Aroma is tart, lemony. Taste is a touch medicinal and quite sour. I know there’s passion fruit in here, so style points for that one, but too medicinal and tart for me....
