Het is net als het lied 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' waar dit bier zijn naam aan te danken heeft. Het lied van 'The Verve'dat het leven beschrijft als de zoektocht naar balans. 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life'.

A small bottle from the tasting room in Maastricht, drunk at Dad’s place while home on holiday. Aroma: malty, some soya sauce. Appearance: semi-opaque oxtail soup, no head to speak of. Palate: full-bodied and oily on the tongue, soft carbonation; finish is long, sticky, boozy. Taste: heavily sweet, rock candy, caramel, more malt, some soya sauce. I like the booze, but overwhelmed by the sweetness.

Bottle at the brewpub Maastricht this should be interesting. Deep broen ruby colour. Lasting cream head. Like a lot of these beees here at thd brewpub they are fine. Competenr. This has dried friot toffee and lots of hops. .so typical of the style. So they do styles well. But they are simple flavours. So good they can do lots of styles. Wheat beers probably their best. This is sweet hoppy bitter. Some jammy fruit. As I say really competent. And will get me drunk. Good I like it.
