Medium, yellowish head over clear golden beer, finely carbonated. Sweet, pineapplejuice with a slight malty edgearoma. Not entirely natural. Again pineapple, the sour factor missing, and clashing with the light-bitterish beery factor Little bit of chewing gum, faint idea of other exotic fruitgums and a light metallic ending. Quite slick, almost oily; soft carbonation; medium bodied. Average for a fruitbrew, below average for a beer.

0,33 l bottle. Pours clear straw yellow with medium, reasonably lasting white head. Aroma of passion fruit and tropical fruit, a bit of pineapple, not much else. Quite intense aroma, somewhat artificial. Flavor is similar with much more pineapple. Body is OK, carbonation above average. Finish follows aroma with some strange bitterness. Rather artificial and plastic...

33cl can from Coop, Tallinn. Pours pale golden with a white head.Almost intense, candy-like aroma of tropical fruits with passion fruit and pineapple dominating. Sweet, fruity and candy-like, almost like liquid Haribo tropical candy. Rather unpleasant and feels quite artificial even thou it seems to contain real fruit juice.

Taste starts with sweet pineapple, a bit refreshing mango and even sweeter malt, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is very mild bitter. Medium body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. Sweet tropicalia…

330 ml bottle, from Dutchshopper. ABV is 7%. Clear and pale golden colour, large white head. Aroma of passionfruit and other tropical fruits. Sweet and artificial flavour of some "tropical fruit" essence. Here we have a good and traditional brewery, apparently trying to be fashionable, and failing miserably. Won't be buying this beer again, that's for sure. .

Bottle, medium bubbly frothy head, clear darkish yellow colour, aroma of grapefruit, passion fruit, pineapple, candy and a bit of yeastiness in flavor, hint of bitterness, quite sweet, almost sickly, and the flavor feels especially artificial. I used to like these beers...
