Looks nice, light in color. Smell is a little banana peel and tropical fruit. Taste is all passionfruit - almost soda-like. Light feel, moderate to heavy carbonation. Almost no hops. Could have been a shandy. Doesn't do it for me.

"Best by 6/28/16"; drank 2/28/16 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque yellow/orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a small, LOUD white head which instantly dissipated; almost no lace.
Strong passion fruit notes in the nose.
Thin mouthfeel.
Passion fruit & mango flavors up front; dry wheat notes on the finish.
This is just what it claims to be; a tropical wheat ale. A bit sweet & fairly simple, but enjoyable for what it is.

Slightly hazy amber golden color with a thin head.
Aroma with notes of wheat, raspberries, passion fruit juice and pear.
Flavor with notes of passion fruit juice, raspberries, slightly tart wheat juice e pears. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Pleasant American Wheat with very low bitterness, but unsweetened given slightly tart raspberries and passion fruit notes. It would be better with a good deal of tropical passion fruit like hops.

Didn't like it at first, but grown more to it with every sip.
Quite sour, but tasty.

I truly love this wheat ale. Most fruity beers sacrifice abv, but not this one. The look is of a typical wheat ale, and the smell & taste are wonderful! I wish they sold it near Chattanooga, but am pleased it is available when we got to Disney World!
