355mL can [labelled Penelope Passionfruit Sour]. Pours murky blonde with fast-fading foamy white head. Aroma has juicy passionfruit. Flavour has a bunch of passionfruit up front, moderate tartness, very light acidity; foamy mouthfeel. Very simple, but still enjoyable; a decent kettle sour.

Draft pour enjoyed at Strange Fellows. Really juicy sour. Glowing peachy orange. Patchy head. Pure passion fruit and orange juice here. A touch sweet to pair with sour. Flavorful and enjoyable.

Orange body and no foam, sour peach skin on the nose. Flavour is big sour peaches, skins and fresh juice, puckery and yet refreshing. An excellent balance struck here, well worth drinking.

Pours a full amber with no head. Aromas of woolly fruit and grapes. Flavours of tart stoned fruit skins, grapes, melons, passion fruit, and sweet malts. Tasty.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a murky pale golden with a white head. Aroma is very complex with lots of passionfruit, nectarines, peaches and even some tea notes. Taste is very fruity with passionfruit and some tea notes. Low to medium tart and sweet. Very good!

Draught at Darby’s Gastown, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color. Nice aroma of passion fruit that blends well with the lactic acid. Quite sour indeed, but also soft; nice lactic acid and passion fruit flavor; mild astringency in the final; with this combination you can’t go wrong.
Good.

Draft - Stone fruit and sweet passion. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Light acidity and sweet passion with a citruc acidity. Passion is more sweet than tart which come across a bit peachy but still quite decent.

On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out so much juicy passionfruit upfront. Flavour is just as juicy, with wonderful passionfruit notes slapping you in the face, ample tartness and a fair degree of acidity. There's even a lacto character buried underneath that gives a rather yogurty mouthfeel. Dominated by the tart and juicy passionfruit though. Very nice despite the flaws.

Cloudy light beige, medium head. Lots of passion fruit on the nose. Quite tart...there is a little bit of funkiness but that’s minimal and covered up by the fruit. So conceptually fine but some execution issues...it just lacks the brightness, complexity and refreshing character it could have.
