Well it looks dull. Not much head, so visually this kind of goes nowhere. Smells nice, though. Big passionfruit and clean kettle...gotta be some dry hop, too. Nice...like passionfruit nectarous. Ok, poor man's passionfruit Nectarous but you can see the potential here with a few refinements.

Tall can from Denman LRS shared with Ilya in Tofino. Appearance: cloury golden with a white head. Aroma: dry hops on front that finishes with lots of passionfruit. Taste: same. Overall: refreshing, pretty good.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out ascorbic citrus notes upfront, followed by gentle passionfruit and lacto. Flavour is very citric upfront, with plenty of passionfruit showing underneath the acidity, with gentle lacto underneath. Citric passionfruit pretty much describes this. Fun beer, but could use less acidity.

Draught at the brewery
Swirl, passion fruit sour, with galaxy, 5.5 Cloudy Cloudyto murky yellow colour. Evident passion fruit aroma. Solid acidity, with enough body structure for the style, some passion fruit flavour too. Nice hop touch.
Refreshing, aggressive, enjoyable.
