16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy pale gold color with a white head and fair retention. A few spots of lacing. As expected, passion fruit/ citrus aroma. The flavor is pineapple-dominant with minor passion fruit notes, and a dry finish. Very tart flavor. Not much beer flavor. Light body. Good carbonation. No bitterness. Drinks like a cider. Thirst quenching, but a bit too tart for my palate.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and pale straw coloured body with a very thin single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of very strong apple juice with a little white grape juice noticeable, a lot of sugars, a touch of yeast and breadiness and a very soft amount of tropical fruits, but no real passionfruit notes or pineapples. Light-bodied; Very sweet and very crisp apple flavours dominate with a pure juice taste and some softer dryness and light malts coming through, but this really is about the fruits and not about anything else - there really is nothing else here aside from the fruits and residual sugars. Aftertaste is sweet, fairly dry, but very juice-forward not even showing many hops at all. Overall, a pretty sweet and juicey beer without much depth or even malt aspects and absolutely no hops at all - very interesting, and despite my love for both passionfruit and pineapple, there isn't much of either here - just apples. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Heinen's in [downtown] Cleveland, Ohio on 30-July-2021 for US$1,79 sampled in my hotel room here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on 10-August-2021 after busting open on the road under my kids seat after leaving Indiana polis earlier in the day, this one was bought on the first day of my trip and sampled on the last!

Few cans at home. Light cloudy greenish gold. Nose is fruit salad. Tastes of apple and passion fruit, less but present pineapple, wheaty, some candy. Medium bodied smooth enough. Not my cup of tea but a brewery I’ve wanted to try for some reason.

Backlog. Very sweet and fruity beer. Lightly tart. Fruit tastes and smells mostly of apple. This ale tastes more like an apple cider. It’s a little tropical too. Too sweet for me.

Can. A- Wheat, mildly fruity. A- Golden yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Apple juice, passion fruit. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Very refreshing with a touch of tanginess. Enjoyed this a lot but the apple really overpowers the pineapple and passionfruit and almost comes off more like a cider. Still great.

Can in a trade with JStax, thanks Jeremy. Flavor is mild pineapple, soft apple, and light passionfruit. Lighter (near watery) body. Drinkable.

Can from chalet premier, nice place. Smell of pineapple fersher. Taste is sim[ply refreshing and I don't really care for pineapple or passion fruit beers. Yeah, better than most of those stupid ass pineapple and passion fruit tropical brews. Yes, seems to be well balanced, fruit and a nice touch of tartness as well. Not bad.
