The Passion Fruit Prussia is our non-traditional look at the classic Berliner Weisse style. Brewed with a generous amount of passion fruit, this beer pours golden in color with a nice tart finish. A perfect compliment to the summer heat.

Pours the color of ginger ale. This effervescent offering has over a finger of white head. The nose has notes of sour fruit. The flavor follows the nose but I don't particularly get the essence of passion fruit.

Pours a light pale yellow with some haziness and can conditioned small floaters, head is white one skinny finger that falls so fast with no lace.

Aroma is light fruity tartness passion fruit with some good lemon kick to it along with some grassy notes.

Taste is light crisp bready malt with touches of grain passion fruit dominating not much of the lemon from the nose just hints mingled with the tartness. Brew is light crisp and clean with only light tartness in the finish. Could see this being great for the summer as advertised. Might be great for those getting into tart brews personally for me could be little tarter.

Mouthfeel is light crisp and clean , spot on more or less.

Good nose nice enough flavor could be a good introductory beer into the style or sours in general.

A- Can into a glass with a very pale yellow body and a one finger, fizzy white cap. The head is short lived and dies out to nothing, perhaps a hint of big acidity? Lacing is no where to be found.

S- Ripe and sour from both the fermentation and the added passionfruit. The lactic acid is off the charts and it is reminiscent of a Berliner with a big tart aroma leading into the added fruit. Lactic, lemons, whole cracked grains and passionfruit; simple and effective.

T- At least in the first few sips not nearly as tart as the aroma suggested. The passionfruit is also pushed just a bit aside, kind of tasting watered down. Lacks the depth the aroma had as there are just hints of lactic ferment, bread, whole grains, passionfruit and tartness. Just has this diluted feeling.

MF- Light bodied with just a touch of a foamy texture. Comes off as thin and approaching seltzer/soda consistency with the lack of oomph and the high end carbonation. Ends with a medium tartness lingering.

The aroma is enticing but the flavor just doesn't live up to it and the body comes off just a bit thin. Somehow just feels like a diluted passionfruit Berliner, not a lot of strength in the flavor.

Poured golden and fairly hazy, with a head that faded pretty quickly, nothing really left behind. Smelled and tasted tart, with a particular fruitiness that did not sit well with me. Had a nice carbonation but left a lingering tartness in the mouth that I would usually enjoy but did not sit right. I'd try again to see if it's my taste buds, maybe I'm just not a fan of passionfruits.

Very pale yellow with a little fog. A fairly aggressive pour will yield A finger thick white head. In-your-face passion fruit nose. Light carbonation. Not much to look at, but the passion fruit was a smart choice. It plays out very well. Slight tartness. I like it.

12 oz can. Cloudy pale straw yellow pour, with a white head. Lots of fresh passion fruit, very tart, lemon, fruity, grain, and some citrus. Tasty and refreshing.
