Pink to orange with a small white head. Aroma of cardboard, vegetables, bubblegum and fruit. Dry cardboard and mineral flavour with berries

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a pinkish yellow color with a white head. The aroma is full of cherries with a little bit of bread from the malt. The flavor is more of the same, with the cherries really standing out above the other fruits. There is also some malt character and a hint of funk. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Bottle: Medium to bigger pretty vast ashy light rose head on top of a murky deep dark pink to almost purple colored beer. The aroma is mostly dusty red fruit with some hints of herbs, bush and plant hints. Flavour is dominated by earth with hints of red fruit, some cherries, some strawberries, some berries, hint of bitterness, some sweetness but lesser present than the sweetness. There is even some hint of sour while there is absolutely nothing sour. Medium carbo, tingly light spicy mouthfeel, just a medium body and a watery texture. Bit of a strange mix but pretty decent.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of vinegar, berries, and plastic. Poured orange/grapefruit in color with a huge, creamy, loose, foamy, fluffy, gassy, off-white head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Full of tiny and small-sized particles throughout. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of berries, plastic, wood, and chemicals. Medium body. Lightly dry texture. Average to lively carbonation. Plastic and berry finish.

750ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Deep purple brew, pink head. Nose is very fruity with strawberry coming to the forefront. Tart with lots of ripe berries and some earth. Some strange off flavors present - it tastes like a garden smells.

From backlog

Head: white, foamy
Colour: slightly hazy red
Smell: bitter yeasty , herbs, raspberrys
Taste: start is dry and yeasty , there is some fruit in it but the "grainy" flavour makes it a bit weird , end is mouthdrying and a little acidic ...

25 cl fles. Aanvankelijk een beetje vreemd bier. later werd het beter. Dit kan natuurlijk liggen aan datgene wat je erbij eet..

750 ml corked and caged botle poured a hazy garnet with a lasting off white head. Aromaof straw, raspberry, strawberry, cherry, honey and blueberry. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, berries, light yeast and a hint of spice with a crisp berry finish.

Bottle. Dark red color with light head. Big, fruity, syrupy aroma. lots of berries. Nasty, astringent, filthy flavor with all kinds of nasty fruit, syrup, and some harsh ass. Pretty nasty and dirty. some fruit comes through but this is just wrong.

(750ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) strawberry colored pour, effervescent bubbles and a creamy, thick pink head. Nose of raspberry, strawberry, and white pepper. Taste of saccarin, sweet n’ low, fake berries, really just tastes gross. Horrible artificial/fake linger, creamy carbonation.

Pouring at session one of Belgian Beer Fest in Boston. Pours a hazy ruby orange with a thin white head. Soft fruit, berries, sweetness. A bit sweet, but not overly cloying. A touch of jalapeno, berries, spicy sweet berries. Strawberries, sweetness. Somewhat interesting.
