Despite its low pH, this unique beer is well balanced thanks to a remarkable fullness and to impressive fruity flavors persisting for a long time." By Lorenzo Dabove aka Kuaska

"A complex beer with great finesse and elegance getting three different souls. The fruity one got hints of strawberries, raspberries and red currant flavors, the ctric-sour one with slight bitter lemony notes and the more tricky one which is characterized of off-flavors to be discovered. Despite the presence of sharp peaks of astringency, a "warming" mouthfeel could be felt after each sip." - By Lorenzo Dabove aka Kuaska
