4.8/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
Hazy peach coloured body with a touch rosy glow and a very thin pinkish head. Aroma of peaches, apricots, pears, sugars and perhaps a bit of passionfruit (red). Medium to Full-bodied; Sweet sweet flavour with a definite alcohol kick (despite being low in ABV) with some light malt and a ton of fruit flavours, mostly apple and pear with a touch of peach and apricot notes - no passionfruit at all to speak of. Aftertaste is full actually with a bit of a potent note and a lot of sugars of course. Overall, more of a fruit beer than a lambic, but nice to try given that one of my favourite fruits is the passionfruit, but this beer simply isn’t like the fruit at all and doesn’t taste good at all - just sweet. I sampled this 25 cL bottle (best by - HK dates: 23 September 2011) purchased at CitySuper! [2 IFC Mall] in Central, Hong Kong for HK$13,00 on 24-August-2011 sampled later in the day at my hotel room in Central, Hong Kong on 24-August-2011.

Pours with barely any head and a muddy orange that looks like mango juice. Faint aroma of passion fruit. Taste is an odd sweetness with carbonation showing through and a bitter finish. Essentially carbonated passion fruit with alcohol. Where’s the beer?

Early amateur rating warning! Not a bad passion fruit flavour, a bit watery.

01/08/2010 - 25cl bottle @ De Heeren van Liedekercke (part of beer menu)

Pours a cloudy orange red beer, white to almost pink fine laced head. Smell is sweet, honey, peach candy. Taste is again sweet and peach candy, chemical flavour. Aftertaste is sticky sweet. Mouthfeeling is surprisingly refreshing carbonized. The only good thing to this beer though.

250ml Bottle - Red/orange. Sweet aroma with passion fruit and peach. Very sweet taste with passion fruit standing out. Rather sickly and hard to take seriously.

Bottle: Poured a pinkish orange with a pink head. Aroma is fruits, mellons and peach stick out in my nose. Taste is a mix of sweet fruit. Comes thru with a passion of fruit my mouth.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of passion fruit, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry finish where the fruity notes lingers.
