Heritage Passion Brew

Bomber from the LCBO: A pleasant surprise! Poured a dark gold clear ale in the stein with a small white cap. Poor retention. Nose is light but nice; biscuit malts, grassy hops, hint of fruity perfume. Light bodied, biscuity with a light hop bight and a fruity presence that rides just below the malt-hop profile but provides a nice ambiance with the hopping. finish is clean lightly bitter and very light fruity sweetness right at the end. A very approachable mild ale with a subtle fruit extract tang to it.....decent.

Bottle: Poured a light golden color beer with a small bubbly white head with very little retention. Aroma of sweet chemical based syrup is totally dominant and gross. Taste is also dominated by the cough-like syrup and leave place for little else. Body is very thin with little carbonation. The fact that even my wife though this beer was bad is ample proof that no one in the right mind would drink this more then once.

Bought this limited brew at the LCBO on Rideau street in Ottawa. Created for Valentine's week with passion fruit concentrate. Pours a slightly hazy light golden colour with a great big white foamy head. Retention is also great, and the lace is all over in small patches. Great passion fruit smell with hints of their regular traditional ale. Mildly syrupy mouthfeel. Good sweet start in the taste department, with notes of honey and the passion fruit. Then, leads into a slight grainy and bitter finish. Some grapefruit is also in the finish. Smooth aftertaste. As you all must know by know, I love fruit beers. This one is a first for passion fruit in a brew, and I think it is well-brewed. Not too sweet to gross out the stomach, but not too dull like some fruit lagers/ales.
