Pours a clear raspberry red with with a fine-bubbled slightly pinkish beige head. Rich aroma is mainly raspberry with a firm malty undertone. Malty, yeasty, raspberry flavor is both sour and sweet, quite pleasing. Texture is lively and quite tingly. Definitely for anyone who loves raspberry!

Clear dark red with initial pink foam head, however only small foam ring left. Aroma is framboos=raspberry ? Taste is bit sour sweet fruit, kind of nice. Lasting aftertaste. (Velp 201310)

Not quite up to par complexity-wise with the geuze and kriek in that there's little follow up to the initial hit of raspberry and light musk. The aroma and appearance (deep purple with red edges and a pink cap) are stunning, the feel and flavor nice but lacking depth.

Another nice brew that I had on tap last night at the Malt House: Pours a bright ruby red colour with a giant frothy head. Had to wait a while for everything to settle down before I started drinking. Initial aroma has this pink grapefruit scent to it. Tart raspberries, herbs and green tea. Taste is slightly tart, but for the most part on the sweeter side. Noticeable raspberries, honey and some tart cherry flavour near the finish.

NorCal tasting July 07 - It'd been awhile since I had a lambic this fruity. Not nearly the level of Lindeman's syrupy mess, this had enough of a sweetness still left to keep the beginner happy and enough tart/dryness to keep the rest satisfied. Aroma was a jammy raspberry goodness with a bit of wood a clear signal of the funk to come. Appearance was a deep clear red with a pinkish foam, some bubbles floating to the top. Raspberries was the main ingredient in the taste but with enough cheeseyness to keep it all interesting. A tart/semi-dry finish but as I said, still keep enough sugars in the beer to keep the raspberry flavor strong. A really nice lambic that I hope to find again soon.

This lambic pours a reddish brown color from a cork finished 375ml bottle. Medium sized pinkish white head. Aroma is raspberries with a slight touch of funk. A medium bodied fruit lambic. Malts are fruity and sweet. The raspberry flavors are semi sweet and very prevalent. This is a touch of tartness and funkiness, but most the raspberry and some malt flavors. Lively carbonation. There is a touch of honey at the finish. Perhaps a bit thin and watery. There is a touch of funk at the finish but it’s a little late and not strong enough. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Poured a ruby color with small head that left no lacing. Aroma was of wood and raspberries and some funk barnyard style. Flavor had the cheese/ rubber and citrus flavors to it. Good beer not to sweet not to sour.

Bottle, 25.01.2009: Color was burgundy with some orange hues, very thin initial head, not much but a ring around the edges after the first minutes. The lacing was non-existent. The aroma was raspberries with some barnyard funk and leather. The flavor was leather, funky cheese, light rubber, and some citrus. This was a pretty enjoyable beer, definitely funky, but the raspberry was assertive, far more assertive than Cantillon, not nearly as tart, but a distance behind the marketted syrup lambics that the other Belgians brewers produce. A great example of the fruit lambic style without overwhelming the unsuspecting with tart and funk, shock and awe.... yet not sugared up, either!

This poured a pretty ruby body topped with a good head. The aroma is full of fresh raspberries and a funky sourness. After my experience with the gueuze and kriek, I was surprised by how much sweeter this was. Still pretty tasty.
