Fruited sour with raspberry, passion fruit, and hibiscus. Flamingos are famous for their stunning pink hue, which is actually a result of their diet of crustaceans. In the same way, we added to this beer a ton of raspberries, passion fruit, and hibiscus to give it its beautiful pink color. The tannins released by the fruit flesh add a subtle bitterness that complements the sourness of the beer, making each sip a refreshing and satisfying experience.

Kolor ciemno różowy, niemalże klarowny. Piana jasno różowa, wysoka, drobne pęcherzyki dość wolno opadają, brak śladów na szkle.
Aromat soczyście owocowy, kompotowy. Są obiecane dodatki, malina, owoce pasji, nuty hibiskusa delikatne, w tle. Zapach jest przyjemnie orzeźwiający, świeży.
Smak wyraźnie kwaśny, lekko cierpki, z odrobiną szorstkiej goryczki.
Wysycenie średnie. Ciało średnie. Tekstura nieco "szorstka". Posmak długi, owocowy, kwaśny.

Rojiza limpia de espuma también rosácea. No me gusta el aroma, funky, establo que mata los tonos más ácidos. En boca es refrescante bien de gas, con acidez bien presente pero sin eclipsar lo demás: agradables sabores frutales a frambuesa y maracuyá. Seca bebible.

Tap at Penguin Bar, in the city centre of Bilbao. Amber with a pink glow. Fruity sour but not too sour, with light passionfruit notes.

Tap at Canil. Pink pour with no head. Nose is some berries, not much of it tho, perhaps a hint of passion fruit too. Taste is moderately sour, fruits are relatively unpronounced again, some berries, some passion fruit, with a bitterish, dry finish. Huuuge meh.

Color rojo burdeos, transparente aunque ligeramente velada, corona de espuma rosácea de corta conservación, el color luce muy bonito en la copa, lástima de esa espuma... En nariz no me dice especialmente mucho, y suele ser para mi unos de los puntos fuertes de este estilo, mi olfato percibe notas de frambuesa, flor de hibisco y un ligerísimo toque a establo. En boca el punto de acidez es moderado, casi hasta soportable para un no iniciado, personalmente suelo tener problemas con el elevado nivel de acritud de algunas cervezas de fermentación salvaje, no puedo evitar torcer el gesto al dar un trago, sin embargo esta se me antoja bastante bebible. Posee un discreto y dulzor de fondo, muy afrutada, cierto golpe cítrico, en general bastante agradable, rica y placentera

440ml can. Almost clear bright reddy pink colour, light pink head. Aroma of raspberries and hibiscus. Taste of tart raspberries, hibiscus, didn't get much passionfruit at all, pleasant sourness, acidic.
