Tap at Gar Eden. Big passion fruit aroma which reminded me of the 80's soft drink quatro. Quite nostalgic. Taste varies between the fruitiness and more wheat. It's quite nice, but not really something I will drink often.

Bottle from GoodBeer. Opened in Belgium. Very cloudy salmon-orange color, lace. Tart passion fruit nose, orange, lemon, grains, lemon grass. Very fruity flavor, lots of passion fruit, plus grapefruit zest. Tart but not sour, with a very bitter finish. Nice drinking. A bit sweet at the start, but ends up nicely dry, with no residual sugar. Very good—nothing like the last time I had it. This is the rating I put up. Draught at the Craft Beer Festival in Ichinoseki, Iwate, 2009: 4/2/3/2/6. Strange thin yellow color, light, thin head. Sweet, passion fruit flavor. Sweet, dry, fruity, funky, Kool-aid like. This is ass. Stick with what you do best, guys!

Bottled, thanks IslandHaole! Hazy pale yellow. Intense natural juicy passion fruit aroma. Fresh and lightly acidic, light bodied with a hint of bubblegum. Certainly not sweet, making it very refreshing. Extremely well made, other brewers of fruit beer should learn from Iwate Kura.

Pale straw colour. Gently effervescent. Big passion fruit aroma, with just a little bit of beer underneath. Tart, wheaty body with very fresh passion fruit character. Very tart - clean not wild. Flowery, fruity, dry finish.
