Cloudy dark orange amber with a large foamy off white head that hangs around forever and leaves lots of tight lace. Nose is citrus and tropical fruit with a good dose of Brett funk. Light sweetness supporting a moderate citrus bitterness and a nicely balanced tartness. Mouth is medium with active carbonation.

Lots of sweet sourness on the nose, minimal head, bright red colour but not too overbearing. Sweetness, sugariness aroma, lots of raspberry but in a fake kind of way. Sourness for sure but not in a good way, no funkiness, just refined sour raspberry juice to be honest. Not too disgusting but not really that exciting either.

Okay brownish body with minimal head, lots of chocolate syrup on the nose. Decent flavouring but nothing too exciting, no complexity. SImple, but the bombers are on the cheap side which generally means you get whatcha pay four ’round these parts.

Bottle: Poured a deep reddish color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and not much lacing. Aroma of fresh tart raspberry notes is pretty enticing. Taste is a mix of tart raspberry notes with light funky yeast notes. Body is about average with good retention. Well brewed beer with good drinkability but maybe a tad short on complexity level.

650ml bottle from the brewery. Pours an opaque dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma is slightly fruity, roasted malt, some weak sour notes. Taste is pretty the same with roasted malt and some fruity notes. Quite similar to Belgian brown ales. Good stuff.

On tap. Pours a raspberry color with light white head. Aromas of dried berries. Flavors of dull earthy berries and toasted malts with a light tart finish. Almost like a dried fruit compote. Interesting but a bit odd.
