Pours gold, white head. Nose is pomegranate and passionfruit, like a Tropicana. Flavour is same fruit, some malt, quite dry along with the tart. Alright.

On tap at National 17th Street. Count on Howe Sound to make a decent fruit beer. A tart experience, impeding drinkability into a sipper. Interesting.

Bottle 100cl. w. swing top.

Cloudy yellow pour with small off white head. Aroma of wheat, strong passionfruit and mango dominating. Taste of wheat, slightly sweet but no noticeable fruit flavours coming through. Very thin mouthfeel and light bodied. Expecting much more after the awesome aroma.

Draught at Barney’s on Main St., Vancouver
Muddy deep blond color. Aroma almost missing. Watered down wheat ale, with very low wheat character, hints of bread, dust; very light sourness; light fruity touch; low bitterness.
Chaotic execution and very simple characteristics at the same time; for the easy drinker.
