Heritage Passion Brew

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry (and unfortunately no one else) at Bar Volo. Who thought it was a good idea to put this in a bomber?! Pours a slightly hazy bubbly pale yellow with a small diminishing white head. Really sweet aroma of artificial passion fruit, peaches and not much else. The flavour I’m sad to say is pretty much the same, much too sweet and one-dimensional. Very light bodied. Even split between us we couldn’t even finish half the bottle. Yuck.

Bottle (660ml). At Volo, shared with blankboy. Ugh. Poured slightly hazy pale yellow with a huge white diminishing head. Aroma - whoa! - not cool, sugary tropical fruit and metal. Taste is also very fruity, tangy, metallic, thin, sugary, syrupy and harsh. Really wish I hadn’t - couldn’t finish my half.

Bottle: Poured a light golden color beer with a small bubbly white head with very little retention. Aroma of sweet chemical based syrup is totally dominant and gross. Taste is also dominated by the cough-like syrup and leave place for little else. Body is very thin with little carbonation. The fact that even my wife though this beer was bad is ample proof that no one in the right mind would drink this more then once.

Bottle. Hazy dark yellow with a small white head. Candy sweet peachy aroma. Flavour is pleasantly fruity with enjoyable sweet peach flavours, but the over the top candy like sweetness is too much to drink more than a small amount in a sitting. Medium syrupy palate. (3+) A decent pairing with a fruity dessert, but a sickly sweet libation if enjoyed on its own.

Bottle. Lightly hazy golden body with average carbonation and fair white frothy head. Aroma is dominated by fruitiness (passion fruit, melon, peach). No maltiness or hoppiness at all. Its fruity/bready taste is unbalanced. It leaves an unpleasant and harsh paperish finish. A failure.

Bottle shared with several others at Volo - thanks, R. Clear, bright pinkish-golden colour with a small white head. Sweet aroma of peach and passionfruit - not bad, actually. Thin, sticky body. Very sweet, candyish flavour with lots of artificial fruit. I didn’t completely hate it - but I also couldn’t imagine drinking more than the small glass that I had. Ah well, kudos to Heritage for at least trying something different.

Sample at Volo. Lots of fruit in aroma that comes of as artificial quickly. Decent reddish orange pour with some pink in there as well, little head. Taste is all fruit and incredibly sweet - I couldn’t get over how something this thin was this sweet. Dominated all other flavors and the thin body becomes syrupy in a hurry. Another interesting effort, and actually might not be bad sharing with dessert, but a bomber to yourself? Yikes...

Available @ Volo. Fruity aroma of peach, white plums, clear apricot, pours a very small white head. Taste is fruity jelly bellies, terrifyingly cloying. Sheesh!.
