Golden yellow, cloudy because of the wheat beer. A very persistent lacing head.

You discover aromas of mango, apricot, peach and a subtle passion.

Savouring this beer is quite complex, because of the use of various fruits. The predominant taste is peach and apricot.

Bottle. Orangish colour with minimal and quickly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and honeyness. Flavour has notes of fruits, where peach is present, hints of honey. Carbonation and body are medium.

Bottle @ home, shared with my girlfriend. Slightly hazy yellow / light orange color, small white lacing. The aroma is very sweet and I also smell passion fruits very clearly, but both not offensive. Taste sweet, but soft, again not offensive at all. Soft mouthfeel, soft carbonation, low to medium body. Quite acceptable.

Originally rated August 2006. Newly recieved at the LCBO, best before date is May 2008. Pours a hazy golden colour with a small white head. This one does not last long, but leaves a small layer over the brew. Lightly carbonated, this beer has a beautiful nose with all of the fruits mentioned in the ingredients: peach, apricot, mango and passion fruit. The taste is sweet with mostly the peach and passion fruit showing, but some light sourness in the finish mixes everything well. Not much lingers in the aftertaste. Would be even better if the fruit was from purée, and not juices as listed. Not syrupy, so it makes this one a pretty good summer brew.

bouteille 33cl. De couleur dorée, col blanc. Arôme est un mélange des fruits tropicaux indiqués sur l’étiquette. Personnellement, j’ai plus ressenti le fruit de la passion ainsi que l’abricot et la mangue, le tout gardant un nez assez sucré avec une fine touche de houblon. En bouche, ressent de suite la mangue, avec en arrière gout l’abricot et la pêche ainsi que la douceur du fruit de la passion. Un aspect tropical qui garde néanmoins un semblant de bière blanche fruitée. Garde aussi ce côté sucré/sirop qui donne une bière épaisse en bouche. Une légère amertume se dégage soit du peu d’ajout de houblon ou alors des fruits. Facile à boire.

Hazy gold beer. Very sweet passion fruit beer, syrupy sweet. A mildly alcohlic pop drink! Fine as one off.

Bottle at Cambrinus in Bruges. BB Dec 2011. Went well with a smoked duck and arugula salad. Pours gold with a bubbly white head. Sweet, rather plummy aroma. Medium body with sweet light fruit (WTF is a Ninkeberry?). Flavor is lightly sweet light fruit [WTF, etc.] A reallly good fruit beer. Refreshing break from heavy duty Belgians. Call me wimp, but I like it.

Bottled(330ml). -at Belgian Brasserie Henry, Budapest.
My girlfriend was driving, so she didn’t want to drink real beer, just "juices" like this. Of course that I stole her little... Hazy golden coloured, short white head, sweet mango and passion fruit nose. The taste is almost the same; mango, passion fruit and lemon. Not my cup of tea.

Bottled@home (BBE 05/2008). Colour is slightly hazy golden and the beer has a small off-white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, some sugary sweetness as well as mild notes of zest. Flavour is tropical fruits with a rather big sweetness that stays on for a while. Refreshing, though quite artificial.
