    Can't speak to what actual batch number I got, but I picked up two 5 sciences that had the white sticker attached to the cap. Drank the first (it was carbonated and in my opinion absolutely delicious) then traded the second one for a long time want. Heard no complaints on the back end.

    Drank my first batch this past Friday. Carbonation was there; this bottle "cellared" at 60ish degrees for more than 90 days.

    First couple sips, excellent melon and tart profile. But then, that lingering "Band Aid" aftertaste. And then overwhelming smokiness. And later, a more pronounced medicinal taste. Couldn't finish the bottle. For shame.

    I got a bottle two week ago. I don't know if it was the 2nd batch or not but it had the sticker over the cap. Me and my friends though it was good. I would not want to drink the whole bottle to myself though.

    If you drank this beer and it didn't taste like pureed ham then you probably got the second batch and they some fixed it. The first batch was truly terrible.

    We never said our love was evergreen
    Or as unchanging as the sea
    But if you can still remember
    Stop and think of me

    Think of all the things
    We've shared and seen
    Don't think about the way
    Things might have been

    I bought a bottle in Belgium 3 weeks ago, has the white sticker across the cap, Drink now? or let it sit for a bit?

    Agreed. I really liked batch 1.

    I did not get any ham. I got smoke, cedar and band aid...

    Sounds like two different descriptions of the same thing.

    I drank a white sticker bottle in Vermont back in June. It was stellar. Luv u, Fantome. I'm now going to sing Drake's "Just Hold On/We're Going Home" around my house and try to work the word Fantome into the lyrics as much as I can.
