Bottled@home (BBE 05/2008). Colour is slightly hazy golden and the beer has a small off-white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, some sugary sweetness as well as mild notes of zest. Flavour is tropical fruits with a rather big sweetness that stays on for a while. Refreshing, though quite artificial.

Bottle, bought @ Haus Der 131 Biere.
Pours hazy golden with a small, frothy, white head. Fizzes away rather quickly. Aroma has passion fruit, some oranges and lots of sugary sweetness. Low carbonation, a bit fat in mouthfeel. Flavour is very sweet, lots of sugars, some artificial passion fruit notes. Very weird and not particularly pleasant.

Bottle 33cl @ home.

Crazy aroma, I could smell this beer from across the table. Heavy on the berry aroma. Pours a light gold color with a thin head. Flavor is very sweet, finishes dry. I thought the Famboise and Passion Fruit ones were better.

Bottle, 3.6%. Flowery aroma. Pale yellow colour. Light flavour, mango, elderflower. Not unpleasant.

33 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a dense and chalk white head. Aroma is mild citric peachy and of passion fruit. Light sweet berry fruity flavour. Mild acidic to citric touch. Shows a mild artifical note towards the finish. Light fruity finish with a lingering exotic fruit flavour.

Bottle, 33cl. Golden light orange color,with a white head.. Aroma apricot and mango, is refreshing. Medium body. Taste sweet, fruits, and nice refreshing, lots of fruit juices, not so bad.

This is not a beer, but a wine cooler. It was hard to rate. As a beer it is poor and as a fruity drink it is great. Tastes like a peach cooler, so give it to your wife she will love it.

A bit tooofruity. Doesn’t really taste like a beer. But it satisfied my sweet craving.
