Can from The Bottle Shop Canterbury and drunk at home. Hazy pale gold lasting white head. Pippy raspberry/passionfruit aroma with a bit of jam. Jammy passionfruit, like a passionfruit coulis in the mouth i.e. it’s a bit sweet. Rest of the beer is fine. A little thin in the malt. Fruit is great. The hops are muted. Not too bitter on the finish. Good fruit, not much else.

Sample at Winking Lizard Westerville during the "Get Green with Green Flash Night" event on 05/17/2016. Clear pale golden color with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, wheat and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal wheat, passionfruit and biscuit malt. The finish is wheaty and fruity. Decent overall.

Hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Passion fruit - fairly mellow and lacking that slight edge it has when fresh. A touch of orange before a light finish. It’s fruity enough to satisfy but for me, it doesn’t really sing.

12 oz goblet draft pour at the Yard House in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is hazy golden yellow with a smallish white head. The aroma is fresh fruit, bit of tropical and general sweetness. The taste softly sweet fruit, bit of tartness, and wheat grain towards the back. The fruit is fresh and bright. The palate is light bodied, soft natural carbonation and the softly sweet semi tart finish. Clean, simple and refreshing.

Tap at Bud. Hazy blond with lace. Nose of passion fruit and sugar. Sweet candy flavor of passion fruit with a bit of medicine. This is soda pop. Horrible.

Bottle shared at Deguchiya. Nice big passion fruit nose with some light grassy and herbal notes, maybe a touch of mint. Medium body with tons of tart passion fruit on the palate and a touch of sweetness as you get further into the glass. It’s by no means sour or overly tart, but very refreshing with a nice creamy wheat feel in the mouth. Almost like a gose with the low level of tartness. Refreshing finish. Well done fruit beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Passion Fruit Kicker on 15 Apr 2016 at 19:16 - Score: 7. Original review text: Really nice tart passion fruit and creamy wheat on the palate. I like you!

Hotel beer, don’t judge. Yeah, plastic glass, but I’m pretty sure I got everything Green Flash was putting down in this one.
The appearance was a glossy / hazy golden orange color with a thin line of white foamy head that quickly dissipated. No lacing.
The smell had some sweet passionfruit, light wheat, gentle lemon rind (slight bitterness). Kicks in with some black pepper. Dry tart citrus.
The taste was mainly tart with a sly sweet wheaty backbone to compliment nicely. Lingering sweet wheaty aftertaste, mild sweet to tart finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the tartness to hit appropriately on my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good fruit beer despite me having in plastic ware, hey, this would be good on the warmer days.
