3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle thanks to Brad. Pours muddy and dirty berry brown. Nose/taste of tart berry fruit, cheese, oak and berry vinegar. Medium body. Nice acidity.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours cloudy red with off-white head. Big aroma attacking the nose, sour vinegar, raspberries, cherries, cherry pits. I’m surprised that the cherry pits play such a big role in the aroma. Taste is dominated by raspberries, tart, light vinegar taste. Acidic finsish, not overly sour, balanced. Great beer!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
75 cl bottle @ Delirium Café, Brussels. Rated on 18.07.2010
Aroma has raspberries and redcurrants. Flavour is sour and rather berryish with raspberries and redcurrants. Also some hints of cherries. Good, but too berryish and a bit disappointment.

Thanks to fiver29 for sharing this. Date on this is 2-14-07. Pours pinkish orange with just a bit of white head. Smell: Funk, raspberries, hay, barnyard and horse blanket. Taste: Sour cherry, raspberry, hay, refreshing sour funkyness. Very nice mouth pucker with a dry finish.
4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle at Mikkeller Bar. September 17, 2011
Pours deep muddy red. Big fantastic aromas of raspberries, a hint of cherries and all kind of other sour forest fruits. It’s vivid and alive and surprisingly fresh. The taste is filled with sourish raspberries with a spicy vibe. It’s rich, full and pretty much perfect in terms of fruit lambics.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
75cl bottle at home, vintage 2007. Synthetic cork. I was too drunk to form a decent conclusion the first time I tried this in DHVL but the bottle at home is certainly good! Lots of fresh raspberry on the nose with not much funk. No head but a lively carbonation. Palate is oily. Lots of raspberry in the flavour but not the most complex fruit beer. I’d say this still has a lot of ageing potential!

This beer was superb. I couldn’t get over how fresh the raspberry tasted, hugely drinkable. the mouth feel was light with fine carbonation. Taste was moderately sour with plenty of funk and a tidal wave of fresh raspberries. Exceptional!!
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Thanks to beddachedda or westcoastbeerlvr (not quite sure). Second time that I’ve tried it and this glass seemed better, somehow. Pours a cloudy golden pink. Aroma is a big and wonderful sour raspberry flavor - the sour cherries just seem to punch up the berry flavor - with some nice funk, mildly cheesy. Taste has a lot of sourness. Everything comes together well. Pretty good pucker - ~7/10. Tried at the same time as Malvasia and preferred that one but only by a small margin. Another excellent lambic from 3F.

750 ml bottle. A nice murky red color with a light white head that disapears rather quickly. A nice earthy fruity flavor. More please.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Thanks John! Loved this one! Pours a bright ruby red with a small head. Smells of wonderful earth, strong acid, raspberries, a touch of funk, barnyard. Strong acidic raspberries on the palate with an intensely strong lip pucker. A bit of earth and funk with a nice barnyard backdrop. The raspberries are bright and clear. The finish is strongly acidic. The mouth feel is light and lively. Excellent!
