22oz bottle pours a hazy gold with some frothy, white head. Nose has lemon, grapefruit, passion fruit. Flavor has yogurt, grapefruit, passion fruit. The carbonation is extremely heazy, spritzy and grating to the finish.

A hazed golden Weisse with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light passion fruit, very nice and tart. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with tart lemon, sweet acidity from passion fruit, tropical fruit, very nice and refreshing. On tap at Bevy Honolulu.

Poured into a plastic cup showing cloudy yellow and a finger of white foam. The nose shows juicy passion fruit with a good mix of guava. The palate is moderately carbonated with a light to medium body. Very light on the tartness, a brief appearance of guava and some passion fruit on the first impression that quickly fades into a corn-like malt sweetness on the mid palate to the finish.

Tap at CBM Koenji. Pours a slightly hazy glowing yellow with a 2-finger soapy off-white head. Passion fruit all over the nose with some light papaya, lemon zest and zinginess. Tart on the palate with really nice passion fruit notes. Body is a little thin, but for the style not too distracting. Lovely tart and dry finish with noticeable lacto character. Very well done. --- Beer merged from original tick of Passionfruit Sour Ale on 28 Oct 2015 at 20:11 - Score: 8

Bottle. Soft yellow pour with a small, short lived white head. Enticing aroma is sour a hints of the pasionfruit. Bright and lively. The sour and tart flavors meld together with the tropical fruit perfectly. Tart crisp finish. Outstanding.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks zvikar. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Lovely aroma full of passion fruit and some yogurt. Sourish flavor, slightly grainy, with lacto and passion fruit. Quite light-bodied. Very good and refreshing.
