Bottle. Deep ruby color with no head. Aroma is all the red and dark berry goodness, herbs, leafs, so fruity, just a bit of honey. Taste is the same, so fruit winey, great fruitiness, light tannins. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Wow, really amazing stuff!

Tap at TheHagueCraft. Hazy pale straw with some white bubble ring head. Sweet candylike passionfruit, dubbelfriss(tm) (apppel-wittedruif) fruity soda drinks, applejuice, watered down kiwi, melon, bone dry in the midsection, rice cooking water, soft milky and light cardboardy in the finish. Over medium sweet and moderate bitter. About medium body and soft carbonation. Strange stuff but easy and interesting to drink.
