4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 20/20
Complete silence when I removed the cork - no "pop" at all. Pours an orange soda color with no head. Flat orange soda. I actually giggle when I put my nose to the beer and smelled it - I can already tell this one is gonna be completely off the wall. Nose of berries and extreme funk. I mean really, really funky in the nose. Taste is way off the charts funky and sour, with a slight berry bite. Brutal - in a good way. Sip after sip keeps your tongue and mind twisted together like a sour twizzler. Wow. Another absolute gem from Hanssens, but... if this beer had carbonation it probably would have scored a perfect 5.

Terrible! Completely ftat and acidic to the point of being undrinkable. It is almost to the point of not being able to smell it. Rancid and supertart. Not a beer, more like a chemistry concoction gone wrong. Stay away!

Very flat, but a nice clear pink color. Aroma is very sour, vinegar, flavor is meaty, sight raspberry, very tart. Would be better if it was not flat.

was saddened when i picked up the bottle and saw it was empty, turned it upside down and got a few drops- thank goodness i have good friends and they let me sneak a sip of there glass and let me get a quick write up .. . pours a deep pink tan .. light to medium foam, light spots of lacing .. . light funk, sweet-tarts, and raspberry .. touch of funk/tartness on the tongue .. pretty good but i wanted more sourness .. . . You’d better not kill me, man, I’ve got shit to do tomorrow!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled sample via and shared with oakbluff. Rose gold in colour with fleeting spritzy carbonation. Somewhat caustic aromas of raspberry, lemon, nettles, funk, and barrel. The raspberry has really dropped out in the mouth, leaving notes of lactic acid, mozzarella, and lemon. A bit of an odd mouth coating texture, along with some acidic sharpness on the palate. This one didn’t really work for me.

Bottle shared by Pat, thanks man. Pours a somewhat cloudy red color with a small white head. Some funky notes with more aggressive berries and sugar. A thin flavor of dominant funk and oak, some tartness, lighter fruit. Quite nice. Drinkable.
