Passion Blaster
New Holland Brewing Company

Mildly hazy neon red with a thin white head leaving angular arms of lacing on the glass.

Lightly tart Kool-Aid with a little toastiness, I don't get the distinct characteristics of the fruits that were added, especially disappointing is the lack of passion fruit qualities.

Almost like a fruity soft drink; it's too easy to drink too many. More sweetness than tartness.

 

Slightly tart, fruity. Like a cranberry juice burst. Refreshing, and I could see it being popular in the summer months.
This was decent enough, but not one I would seek out.

 

 

 

 

First time drinking a fruit beer. Look is a light ruby with a small cap that lasts. This is not in my lane and I would not purchase this beer again. However, it does taste like a fruity cranberry seltzer water and those drinks are popular.

Dark copper to amber in color with a fingernail of beige on top. Light lacing is present. The aroma is of passion fruit with an undercurrent of apple and peach. It seems a bit artificial. The flavor is comprised of passion fruit, peach, and apple. The mouth is highly carbonated and somewhat acidic.

 

 

Fairly nice fruit ale but just a little too sweet and one-note for me. Looks fairly nice, dark pink-orange color with some mild foamy white head that quickly dissipated, and very scant spotty lingering lacing. Smells of some sweet fruit - raspberry, apple, lemon - as well as more distant malt and bread. Taste follows the nose. A little cloyingly sweet but not terribly so. Tasty, mild mouthfeel, decent carbonation. Just not balanced and I wouldn’t try it again.

It's hard to get a nose out of the can, so I poured it, and it looks like a red amber, just a touch darker than the can's color, darker and more fizzy than a cider, but not much clarity. There's enough head that you know it's packaged correctly, light lacing.

Easy on the nose, nothing overpowering, fruity notes. Comparable to a cider. The apple-iness that's done to the plassion baster is a nice offshet. Light on the tongue, crisp, one might even suggest refreshing. Fruity, but not overpowering. The raspberry and the apple balance out the plassionfruit so you're not dealing with a tartness. Front/middle palate, a clean finish where nothing lingers except perhaps the desire for another sip.

The flavor is good. It's not a juice, but it could be. I'm a beer drinker so I'd take this over a cider. As far as fruity ales goes, I've had Founders Raspberry, Jackio-s Raspberry, and Fatheads Bumbleberry, and this one tops out all 3.

It's approachable and won't put hair on your chest, and I recommend it to those who don't want hair on their chest. 6.0% ABV, middle heaviness, it's a good cruise.

This is a good balance of a fruit and field beer. This one is a good one but then again this is something for the ladies. New Holland does well blending a few styles together and creating a fruity but not overly sweet bouquet of goodness.
