From a 75 cl bottle, quit some sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Hazy amber beer with small off white foam. Aroma is fruity, yeasty, peppery and smooth. Taste of caramel with dry cereals some honey and hints of fruits, end with an earthy bitterniss of hops.

Bottle. Pours a brune body with an off white head. Yeast y fruity notes, figs, some plum, and caramel notes. A bit artificial and spritz y, still overall its decent, the body is thin and the flavor is short lived.

Bottle from Greens in Atlanta. Aroma was not what I expected. I smelled a bit of fig/raisin/date along with some yeast and tart vinous notes. Flavor is quite tart and the fruit kind of got lost in the tartness and yeasty characterstics. Just ok.

It poured a hazy brown-orange liquid with a small foam that stayed. It also had allot of yeast floating around. It smelled a bit like wine, with some yeast and alcohol. The flavor was similar with wine, yeast and some fruit. However it was bland and a bit boring.

37,5ml Bottle at Akkurat. Pours orange hazy with a big thick head. Fruity sour aroma. Tastes a bit like soda, sour but not as sour as the aroma implies.

750mL bottle. Pours murky amber, capped with a medium sized tan head. Aroma of caramel, fig, and overripe fruit. Flavor begins with caramel, orange, fig, apricot and mild spice. Finishes with fig and spice. Medium bodied and really drinkable. This sat in my fridge for a while because i was afraid I wouldn’t like it, but it turned out to be really enjoyable.

Appearance: Pours a hazed, dark amber body with a fizzy, white head that’s a bit on the small side. Light effervescence. Smell: Lightly toasted Belgian malts, fresh spices, and various other fruits try their best to compete with the particularly strong fig juice scent. Taste: Lightly toasted maltiness with a slight hint of caramel candy. A slug of fig juice alongside a small touch of acidity. Also sliced pears and a slow drop of citrus oil. Herbaceous spiciness and thin vein of funk at the midpoint. Herbal, floral hops with only a small, small amount of bitterness. Finishes dry, spicy, and fruity. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: Worth a try. Interesting and fairly enjoyable. Hope you like figs!
