Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a lightly hazed pinkish color with a small one finger head of fizzy white foam. The head fades very fast, leaving just a trace of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell- The aroma of the brew is light overall with some hints of papaya and wheat. Along with these aromas comes some light smells of grass and a bit of melon.
Taste – The taste begins with a nice wheaty bread taste that has a god presence of papaya. As the taste advances the papaya grows stronger and stronger while the wheat mellows just a tad. Toward the end of the taste some light grass and hay come to the tongue and leave one with a nice fruity wheat taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is on the thinner and crisper side with a carbonation level that is high. For the wheat and the papaya, the feel is fantastic and makes for a refreshing easy drinker.
Overall – A very refreshing and easy drinking brew overall. A nice summer time beer.

In the 2023 beer advent calendar.
I'll start by saying that I don't like tea, and this concoction is half fruit and half tea flavored.
Way overwhelming. Tell me again how many ingredients go into making real beer? I'm fairly positive that fruit mash and tea leaves aren't among the four.
Dreadful.

Can: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a light foamy head with minimal retention and light lacing. Aroma of light tart notes with some hibiscus notes. Taste is also a mix of light tart notes with some hibiscus and light wheat malt notes. Body is light with good carbonation. Harmless flavored wheat ale.

This was about as okay as okay can be...
I was really expecting something very fruitful, very juicy, and even a bit of bitterness with hops - well...it was all there but very, very muted. At least it looked great and was light on carbonation.

Florida Avenue Brewing Co. "Passion of the Heights"
12 fl. oz. can without production codes or freshness dating
Contract brewed by Brew Bus Brewing, Tampa, FL
$2.29 @ Knightly Spirits O.B.T., Orlando, FL
Look: Hazy pinkish body with an orange sheen beneath a short-lived head of white foam.
Smell: Fruity, floral, and lightly mineralish. A little bit like a Flintstones vitamin.
Taste: Lightly sweet and fruity with notes of strawberry and apple. Wheat malt flavor is apparent. Moderately bitter leaving a drip of sweet malt to fade in the finish before becoming dry.
Feel: Medium bodied and gently crisp.
Overall: An interesting and enjoyable beer that's a little bit on the sweet side but not by much. Charming.
