Review by PRV
Sour-sweet tropical fruit, maybe not even really fruit, but tropical greens in vinegar. Solvent, spicy herbs. Something else I can't get out...everything revolves around fruit vinegar and varnish. The flavor is more sweet, herbs, alcohol, vinegar sourness. The aftertaste is spicy herbs infused with alcohol. Not bad, but somehow one-dimensional.
Review by Stijn Zino
Liquid Leuven 2025 A bit one dimensional but still a very nice Foursquare.
Review by zabo
Spontaner Vergleich zwischen dem RX15990 und dem RX50. Es sind zwar verschiedene Jahrgänge, aber wie immer bei Foursquare sind beide Abfüllungen auf einem hohen Niveau mit den typischen Geschmacksmarkern. Für mich hat der RX50 aber die Nase vorne.
Review by Johannes
I like it very much! Alcohol well integrated, typical Foursquare profile.
