If you know Foursquare and think you've got it pegged, this one throws a curveball. Reviewers keep calling it the odd one out: loads of fruit, strawberry bubblegum, even a funky whiff of cheese or fermented fruit on the nose. Underneath sits the familiar roasted oak, cherry and cocoa. At 60.3% it's hot, but the fruit carries it.
The community says- Strawberry bubblegum
- Untypical for FS
- But: Hot at 60.3%

Very atypical Foursquare. Lots of fruit and chewing gum. I like it very much.

This is a very nice release and different from the normal ones. Very fruity and nice roasted wood.
Review by Frank
12th GRF, Colors of Rum Tasting. Quick and short... Nose: interesting side note of cheese or rancid sock, but really not unpleasant, rather challengingly exciting. Palate: good, solid, sweetish, slightly metallic, light licorice Pleasing, but not outstanding
Review by Christian Rudt
Surprisingly fruity this Foursquare is hard to believe that it comes from there. I really like it. Exceptional bottling
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 12th GRF, Masterclass with Colours of Rum: Surprising Foursquare, which is very atypical for me. Fruity nose, almost fermented and a bit of cheese (?!?). A bit different from the known bottlings, but I find it very exciting anyway or precisely because of that!
Review by DomM
Very solid FS. Has an interesting strawberry bubblegum note to it.
Review by Jakob
Very surprising nose - fruit alert with hints of Hubba Bubba, completely different from the other Foursquares. No idea how that comes about - but a welcome addition to the normally not too varied aroma spectrum of the Foursquares.
Review by Alex1981
Unusual but good FS, less on cocos but more fruity & slightly salty
Review by Basti
Fair rating.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Seriously, all this foursquare are more or less the same, and this is an tremendous achievement. Rarely a fallout to below the 70 points. Bourbon cask leaves vanilla and spices, some coconut, and overall a bit boring but reliable profile, even with these ib's
