COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Growing wild on our grandfather’s farm fences and in the tree lines all around our Arnaudville home, we have consumed a lot of fresh passion fruit through the years. The vines still grow abundantly around our family’s crawfish pond and behind the brewery, along the banks of the Bayou Teche. When they are in season, after a hard days work, we look forward to sitting in the shade of a large oak tree on that bayou’s bank, enjoying the pulpy fruit till we nearly make ourselves sick.
When they arrived in Acadiana, our French-speaking ancestors discovered the passion fruit growing here and named it grenade (pronounced grruh-nod). We still call it that today, the fruit’s juice has a refreshingly tropical, guava-like, sweet/tart flavor.
Passionné is our wheat beer, which we brew to quench Acadiana’s warm weather thirsts. The ale is the color of a South Louisiana sun, and pours with the bright citrus flavor of passion fruit.
It’s hot out. Find the shade of a large moss-drenched oak tree on a bayou near you, relax and enjoy a bottle. Welcome to beer drinkers’ paradise.

There is definitely some passion fruit here, but it does nothing to hide the stale cardboard character of this beer. Picked this one up in NOLA on most recent trip in spring, 2013.

The aroma is fruit, toasted malts, some skunk. The appearance is amber, clear, white head. The flavor is the same as the aroma. Medium in body. Not terrible.

Wow. A wheat beer with a lot of unfermented Passion Fruit juice, it tastes like. If you like Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy, which appears to mix lemonade with beer, this might be the next step for you. Kinda "eh" to me. Yes, it is thirst quenching.

tricyclist (444) - Spring Hill, Florida, USA - OCT 16, 2012
From notes - sample pour of deep straw color with a thin dissipating head. Nose wasn’t too pleasant - corn, malty grain, light fruitiness, lightly sweet. Flavor wasn’t amazing either. Bubbly, too fruity sweety, candy, synthetic, wheat, pomegranate, more corn, and raspberry. lighter/medium body.

This beer was okay. I found it to be a little "bug spray-ish," like an IPA. Rob said it "tastes like pee." He was not a fan.
