Can shared at Wunder. Deeper purpleish ruby pour with a white head. Nose is intense berry and currant notes with some bitterness. Taste is sour fruits upfront, light sweetness to it too, then the finish is rather bitter and somewhat dry. Hops dont belong if fruity sours and fruit puree doesnt belong in IPAs.

26 February 2022. At Bar Beenhouwer, Ghent. Shared with the lovely Anke!
Hazy red, stable, foamy, pink head. Aroma of cassis, blueberry coulis, brambleberry, yoghurt, lemon peel. Taste has sour berries, cassis, coulis and lemon acid in a yoghurty, doughy malt body. Tart finish of berry juice, somewhat bitter berry peels, not much more, hardly any hops. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation. Where is the Citra really? Doesn't work as a DIPA. Going nowhere, unfortunately.

8/III/22 - on tap @ Bar Beenhouwer, BB: n/a (2022-242)
Pretty cloudy dark red to purple beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: wow, lots of black currants, fruity, bitter impression, tannins, some diacetyl. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit sweet, fruity, lots of blackberries, juicy, some tannins, ok. Aftertaste: bit sugary, fruity, tannins, nice acidity, lovely beer!

Dark purple, light purplish head. Smells tart and sweet, lots of currant. Pretty thick body, chunky yet smooth. Taste is lightly tart, sweet, but mostly very fruity. Jamlike blackcurrant, almost licorice-like. Summery and refreshing, good stuff.
