It is amazing how much one can get away with by having a pretty face and a moist snout. As the owner of one of Belgium's best beer bars, Billie may come across as a handsome and distinguished gentleman, but do not be fooled! Behind all that floof and soft ears lies a dark secret. While ”Jack, The Ripper”, had a thing for sex workers, “Billie, the Butcher”, will lure beer tickers in with a damn fine tap and bottle selection only to spike their drinks and have his way with anyone that shows more interest in rating than in drinking and having a good time. His knives are as sharp as his contempt for those who have forgotten the spirit of sharing brews and laughs among friends, and dare you having a printed evaluation chart or a yellow screen glowing through your phone and you shall experience first-hand (or maybe hands first!) the blade, the blood, the pain. Much like Untappd badges, this sadistic little fucknugget collects his own trophies, and word on the street is he has even created his own app to rate dismemberments, called 'AmpuRate'. Try and tick this brew at his home and you may just become another score among many."

Väike lihtne pudel, sildil ... noh sõna otseses mõttes verekoer. Valge vaht täidab u pool klaasi, püsib kaua ja haakub ka kenakesti klaasiseintele. Õlle värvus - kirkalt ja väsinult kuldkollane. Aroomis on heas tasakaalus tublit IPA't - nii humalat kui linnaseid, mõrjust kui magusust.

Esmamekk on keskmisest veidi raskema kehaga ja mõrkjas. Keskmaitse muutub hapukaks ja humal keerab mõnusalt vaigust vunki juurde. Lõppmaitse lisab vürtsikat särtsu (aga mitte kirbet kõrvetust) ja hapukat mahlasust. Järelmekk on magusakas-mõrkjas ja vürtsikalt elamusterohke.

Keskmisest suts raskema kehaga, mõõdukalt karboniseerunud ja kuivapoolse paletiga, mõrkjas-hapukas-magusakas-vürtsikas-mõrkjas-vürtsikas-hapukas-magusakas-vürtsika buketiga Übertaseme rüübe! Mõnusas vahemikus vanakooli ja NE IPAde vahel, säilitades parema esimesest ja võttes vaid parima ka uuest moest.
