I think I traded for this beer but since it was undated and unmarked on the bottom of the can, as I attempt to further whittle my stash down. Yes, this was full of sediment but that's because of my inaction in getting around to this. Overall, this was true to it's description as it was a hazy beer full of Passion Fruit, though it came across as just a bit too juicy and one-dimensional for me...
This had a dark, murky, apricot hue to it with a ton of light and dark sediment in it, as this did not age well. Enough head topped it off and the lacing left behind was rocky and formed semi-coherent rings down the back side of my pint glass. Lots of passion fruit, tart juice, and ripe tropical fruit in the nose as the taste was more tart and creamy than the aroma would have indicated. Dank swamp water came through as this warmed up with some deep citrus juice and mild nectar underneath everything.
Not a lot of booze here as this was relatively easy to drink and not overly complicated. It opened up as it warmed up but overall, this was a juicy beer that checked off all the boxes but could have have more flavors and notes to it. This was fine for a night where I needed to kick back and shed another tear as this year's losses pile up...

On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza. Aroma has dank hops, overripe fruits and some sweet powdered sugar. Taste is slightly tart, lemony with unripe passionfruit and medium bitterness.
