Poured to a teku glass.
A: The body's colour is clear copper, being almost orange-y to red. It's almost crystalline having no visible sediments or any haziness. There's no carbonation visible. The head is basically non-existent. Minor lacing. Minimal retention.
S: The first aroma coming to nose is an acidic tone of Madeira barrels, having much wood. Right after this aroma, there's a great hint at passionfruit. In the back, a tiny profile of malt and citrus.
T: The taste begins with a mildy sweet citrus turning to a strong acidity, caused by the Madeira barrels, finishing in a very weak bitterness. I'd say this would be more likely to be a Lambic IPA with no bitterness to me.
M: The body is medium low to low. Carbonation is not visible but still has some, although minimal. Bitterness is low. Acidity medium low.
O: I don't think this beers stands for the Mean Sardine quality we've seen and I'm sure I don't probably get what was intended when brewing this, but I find it a beer not worth drinking if you what to expect from this. There's too much acidity on this and you wouldn't expect any.
