650mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a tiny head. Aroma is loaded with fresh passionfruit, gentle acidity and lacto. Flavour is loaded with fresh passionfruit, gentle sourness, light acidity and lacto. Really bright, fresh, passionfruit character. Surprisingly delicious.

Bomber bottle bought from the source, brought back to the mainland for a friday night such as this whereas it's way too hot and far too few people care about the nuances of such a thing. This pours with an okay heavily carbonated orangey body and rather huge white head despite my best efforts to dissuade it from that path. There are big fruit tannins on the nose, semi-sour, lots of sugar and lots of skin. Flavour is plenty of sweet and semi-sour passion fruit, all-in, full-on with skins and seeds and all. Mostly crisp on the mouth. Quite nice as a fruit beer, sweet but not overbearingly so and worth a look if'n you happ'n to be in the area. Man, I really need to play Ultima IV through again another time, all the way without the cheats.

Cloudy, a bit dark yellow, looks flat though. Big passion fruit aroma. On the palate, it’s quite tart, just enough sugar, and then a lot of passion fruit.
