Draught at Mikkeller Stockholm.
Redish-purple body, with a small, light pink head.
Aroma with lots of passion fruit, citrus, berries, some funk.
Tastes pretty similar, also dominant passion fruit.
Light, slick, mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes moderate sour, fruity, citric, with some berries and some tropical fruits.
Nice one, although not outstanding. A bit simple, with dominant passion fruit notes and everything else quite in the background. Still really fresh and easy to drink. Great beer for passion fruit lovers I guess, I’m not that much, so just decent for me.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Almost clear purple colour, small head. Aroma of passionfruit juice. Tart with light-medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Passionfruit and black currant juice, citric acid. Nothing else. Like a sorbet, not a beer. Not one of Brekeriets brighter moments.

Bottle, from a trade with Nische, many thanks! Pours cloudy strawberry with a medium but immediately dying head. Aroma is blackcurrants, lacto, passion fruit, berries. Body is light, tart and crisp, softly sour with a fizzy carbonation. Still fruity, with hints of lacto, yoghurt. Short tart palate, almost astringent. Good.

Berliner Weisse with passion fruit and blackcurrants, at Gollem during their five years anniversary event, shared by 77ships. Snow white, lacing, quickly opening and eventually all but vanishing head over a deep pinkish-coloured beer with lilac hue. Aroma of blackcurrants indeed, something tomato concentrate-like, yoghurt, dried blueberries, maracuja, lime, soap, soggy white bread. Sour onset, refreshing with berries again but not too emphatically cassis-flavoured, passion fruit more outspoken, some sweetishness within the general sour profile providing balance, drying tartness stretched all the way to the back over a soft wheaty soapiness and breadiness, berry juice flavours and some passion fruit lingering, very juicy and quenching. Nice little kettle-soured fruit beer, enjoyed it.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours dark purple with a white, fading head. Passionfruit upfront with a bit of funk, blackcurrant. Taste is more blackcurrant forward, like slightly sour Festis Cassis. Passionfruit provides some acidity. Super fresh, fruity and juice with a light lingering tartness. Elegant and highly drinkable.
