Always a bit pathetic when even the brewery doesn't seem to know the difference between degrees and percentage... Do the label reads 5.5 degrees on the front, 5.5% on the side. I know, who cares ? well, I do, apparenlty. Never was the biggest Broeder Jacob fan anyway, but c'mon guys, you must know at least the basics, no ?

Anyway. Slow gusher. Pours dark pinkredpurple. Pink head fades fast. Scent is very intense, sweet, red fruits, syrupy. not 'bad' , I kinda can dig this, but usually in a NA beer (liefmans fruitesse) since it's not worth the alcohol to me, sugars and syrups can exist fine without these 5.5... Degrees (facepalm emoji)
Taste is surprisingly less sweet, don't get me wrong, still very sweet, but not as over the top as expected. some maltyness shines trough. Feels a bit heavier on the palate. big bubbles but other than that medium carbonation. But than, towards (just before) the aftertaste, this tastes really chemical, in a bad way. During the aftertaste it tunrs heavy on the sweetness, sugary, but also 'chemical sweeteners' (light zero drinks, aspartaan or stevia or whatever they use, it's this typical bad flavor to me which this beer has, ever so slightly) . Yeah... not great. With this kind of score percentage, you're not getting your degree !
