Hazy amber with big white head. Also sort of gushing. And floaties. Aroma is slight dried fruit with passion fruit butter spicy cake malt. Taste is sharp sour fruit with alcoholic mess. Lots of hoppy bitterness later with a big passion fruit sourness. Full body but too heavy for drinkability. Long bitter finish.
