Glouglouburp (2113), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Apr 16, 2008 <b>In short: </b>Big vegetal and spicy mess of some kind. Weird and Gross<br />
<b>How: </b>Tap at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague<br />
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy copper body with a medium beige head<br />
<b>In long: </b>Aroma of dogfood. Basic crushed cereals with out-of-control unapropriate impression of herbal cooking spininess (basil type of herbal spices). Green tea and other off-flavours I could have really done without. Lots of prunes and asparagus. What a mess! The only more disagreeable 16° I have ever experienced was in Fahrenheit, on a beach, and wearing only a tight speedo swimming suit.

(Rating #1522) MartinT (4475), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Mar 24, 2008 <i>My Bottom Line:</i><br />
An intense medicinal plum fruitiness is certain to grab your attention as it takes you from tangy tartness to sweet vinosity in this relatively cohesive but strange Fruit Beer.<br />
<br />
<i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br />
-A veil of foam tops the cloudy red.<br />
-The medecinal personality of the plums is even spicy, as it drives in its caramel-like sweetness.<br />
-Some bitterness followis the tart passerby.<br />
-Ive never had anything close to this in the beer world, so its quite difficult to grasp its essence. Its well structured and characterful, but man is it weird!<br />

<b>On tap at Pivovarsky Klub.</b> Quack-Duck (2202), Bodensee, Germany Mar 21, 2008 draught at the brewpub. This is a 16° plum beer. Slightly reddish appearance, enourmously large head. Aroma of plums. Medium-bodied, not sweet but tasting of plums, quite hoppy and dry. Not very malty, I thought the beer was a bit thin for a 16°, nevertheless a tasty and interesting brew.
