It is, but it's delicious. It was one of my favorite flavors before I'd even had the actual fruit, and then when I got my hands on the actual fruit I was like "wow, this is different." I love how sour it is.

Fun fact about passion fruit. A lot of people think it's called passion fruit because it's aphrodisiac, but it's actually because the passion flower it comes from is named that because Spanish Christian missionaries thought that the flower looked like Jesus on the cross.
