It's time for another review! Today, I'm reviewing a Fruit Beer/Pale Ale called Passion Pale Ale from the brewery Poppels Bryggeri. Ingredients: water, barley malt, wheat malt, oats, hops and passion fruit.
Description of the beer:
"A Pale Ale brewed mainly using light malt to give it a brighter colour compared to many other beers."
"Our interpretation is a pretty looking Pale Ale of lighter character since we have chosen to increase the tropical tones from the hops by adding passion fruit – which is unmistakably clear in both the smell and taste!"
History & Facts:
- Poppels bryggeri is a Swedish brewery from Jonsered, founded in 2012.
- The brewmaster is Daniel Granath.
- They produce 30 000 liters/month.
- The first beer to be produced was a Brown Ale.

Appearance: clear pale golden color with a small white head.
Smell: passion fruit, tropical fruits, notes of malt.
Mouthfeel: medium to light body, medium carbonation.
Taste: passion fruit, citrus, caramel, long bitter fruity finish.
The first time I had this beer was at a beer festival. I remember that I loved the passion fruit flavor, and that's why I bought it again. Well, the bottle version was a little bit of a let down. Don't get me wrong, it's still a solid beer, but not as good as the draft version at the festival. The draft version was probably much fresher and that's why it was so much better.
Verdict - My rating: bottle version 3.25 out of 5, draft version at the festival 4.25 out of 5.
