Who's been drinking this

Bottle at A house in Rowland Heights, CA
I liked it a more this time - the lilikoi especially took on a depth of character over time, a mild, but complex fruity tartness. Still, wheat was little more than a ghost of an aftertaste, making this taste not so beer-like. Sam Adams wins today's battle of summer fruit ales.
Bottle at Home
Good hot day beer, light in taste and the passion fruit flavor is mild and works with the sweet wheat ale.
Lilikoi is nicely integrated into the flavor; base beer is not very wheaty and pretty characterless.
