Bottle. Yellow/ golden colour with a white head. Aroma is sweet and strong apricot. Flavour is sour, apricot, hermitized apricot, pineapple. This is an extreme fruit beer.

Bottle at Haket during Gothenburg Beer Festival 2011
Sampled on Friday September 2, 2011
Acidic and fruity scent and taste. Loads of sweet passionfruity. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Passionfruit aftertaste. Cloudy very pale yellow straw color.
Nice berry and fruit taste that works for me, fresh. Not sure I’d like to finish the whole bottle, but for sipping it is rather nice.

Beer No. 54 on my tour through Austria, Germany and Denmark.
Bottled 330ml. -from the bottle somewhere in Berlin U-Bahn. What was I thinking to choose this for the last beer that evening...Passion fruit nose. Sweetish acidic artificial passion fruit taste. Didn’t like at all.

Wow and wow, after enjoying the banana beer this one came as a big bad surprise. 33cl bottle yellowish pour with thin white head. Aroma of passion fruit and not much else. Taste was of passion fruit extract lightly sugary with some grains. After a few sips, the whole venture turned into a nasty acidic brew that became nearly undrinkable.

Clear golden with a white head. Very sweet and acidic with a synthetic aroma of passion fruit. A rather acidic finish saves this beer from an even lower score due to the completely dominating sweetness. 150111

Bottle. Sugary-sweet nose bursts with passionfruit, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, there’s no trace of beer and the overall impression is one of Crystal Light’s devilry. Burnished, sickly gold pour with a frothy white head. Taste is extremely cloying with nothing but intense, slightly tangy passionfruit. The nice meaty part of the fruit, perhaps, but still artificial and very hard to drink.

330ml bottle. Palish, milky yellow body with a small yellow head. Aroma of hermetic apricot and peaches, not very pleasant. Flavor is like artificial sour apricot in very sweet syrup, might be some pinable here as well. Really disgusting, deserves 2 point on appearance because it looks a bit interesting at least.

Bottle sample at GBF 2011 cons 2011-09-03 AR: heavy chemical passion fruit AP: golden body no head F: chemical passion , to strong fruit flavour and to much sweetness

Had this beer some time ago, transferring data from database before Januar I was using to rate beer. As I drink this again I will add a complete review.

A chemical nose of passion fruit and what I percieve as sweetness. A taste of toothpaste, chemical passion fruit and apples. It’s sweetish, a bit acidic, minty and with a sticky palate. Not very good (dju dju mango were better) but not as bad as Floris Fraise - I assure you, even though I haven’t tried that one !
