12 ounce bottle. Hazy pale gold color. Small white head is gone in a flash (green). Big perfumy passion fruit nose. Notes of melon and bubble gum. Flavor follows the nose with additional notes of lemongrass and wheat malt. Mildly tart, but with tropical fruit tendencies. There is a touch of Belgian yeast that is underlying throughout. There is a subtle spicy hop prescence in the finish that is barely noticeable, yet present. Very nice, though quite a departure from the hop centric ales you expect from Green Flash. Life goes on, within you and without you.

Draft at Snallygaster 2016. Poured a hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was lots of juicy fruits, light funky yeast notes. Tropical fruits. Light and pleasant.

Can shared at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Hazy yellow. Great juicy passion fruit aroma. Flavor is a bit sweetish, mildly tart, with passion fruit. Light to medium-bodied. Very nice and refreshing.

12oz bottle pours with a hazy gold body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up berry like fruitiness, a tart sharpness and then a guava sweet note. The taste delivers sugar sweetened tartness, raspberry and strawberry fruitiness and then a hay infused lemon lime tartness toward the finish. The finish has a cracker sense from time to time helping to balance out the sweetness. Meh. Overall this comes across too sweet.

Tap. Pours hazy golden, white head, blah blah blah. Aroma is sulfated passionfruit and mango. Flavor matches. Dried tropical fruit in a glass. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Saccharine aftertaste. No.

355ml bottle, pours a misty gold with small white head. Aroma brings lovely juicy passion fruit. Taste continues with good exotic fruits and a wheat influence to the texture. Not getting the artificial notes others are getting. This comes across nice and smooth with a soft, refreshing passion-fruit hit.

Bottle. Tall Boys, Leeds. Cloudy gold. Barely a head. Nose is big on the passion fruit. Sweet and wheaty. Definitely some of the bubblegum as mentioned in the blurb. Not a great deal else. Taste is sweet, and a little estery. Thin mouthfeel. More passion fruit on the finish before drying out a little. Not my cup of tea. Comes over a bit artificial.

Hazy yellow colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have elements of grass and lime. Fresh, fruity and slightly tart. Some dryness in the finish.
