Bottle. Red colour with a pink head. Aroma is dust, fruit, earth. Flavour is dust, beets, malt, grain. Strange beer.

33cl bottle. Pours a cherry (or should that be beetroot) colour. There is a small amount of head. On the nose, it is beetrooty, earthy (like soil, literally) and perhaps a little fruity (maybe redcurrants). The taste is seriously full of topsoil, to the extent that the beetroot flavour is completely in the background and there is zero fruit. There is a hoppy dryness on the end, presumably from the hops. The palate is ok - it starts fairly chunky but cleans at the end. Overall, interesting nose but that’s where it peaks!

33cl bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/amber. Nuts, sweet malt and honey on the nose. The taste is completely different - the sweet malt comes and goes quite quickly and the second half is almost entirely the soapy hops with some bitter grain in there too. The palate is ok - fairly rich and at least it cleans ok. Overall, nice for a change but I wouldn’t seek it out.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A kriek lookalike. Candy red and almost clear, topped by a pink, dense, head. Pale malts, fruityness and an earthy touch to the aroma. Quite bitter in the mouth, with pale malts and a nice hoppyness. Medium body. I can’t say the beetroot is bad for the beer, but it’s not my choice of beer, that’s for sure. 110318
