caesar (2654), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Jan 3, 2008 Bottled. Hazy pink color, short frothy head. Aroma is extremely fruity of raspberry, slight tart, some barnyard. Taste is again very fruity with only some sourness. Very thick. Very nicely balanced.
Sammy (3242), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 4, 2008 Pours candy pink, with pinkish-white cloudy big head. Smells funky, alcohol though low, penetrates the nose. Great mouthfeel, raspberries lambic bullseyes the style. Satisfying aftertaste. Oh so drinkable. DMRz (151), Durham, North Carolina, USA Nov 27, 2008 750ml bottle. Bright, pink-red colour with a medium white head that vanishes quickly-this looks like desert in a glass. Intense fresh red raspberry aroma with notes of sour cherries, barnyard, and a nice hint of oak. The flavor of this beer is a tour de force of balance and intensity: sweet red raspberries, sour cherries, and barnyard funk. The finish is sour and well controlled, leaving a pleasant sour cherry aftertaste that complements the initial sweetness. I would love to try this again after a couple of years in the cellar. A world class beer! theisti (1180), Leawood, Kansas, USA Nov 19, 2008 750 ml bottle purchased in May at Capones outside of Philly. Pour is mostly clear ruby, red brown with a pinkish white 1 inch head that falls really fast. Aroma of acidic waxiness, barnyardy yeastiness, and some raspberry fruitiness. Taste is tart and sour, very acidic. Calms down after the initial taste, revealing raspberry fruit and some menthol. Palate is medium, though a bit slick - coats the mouth nicely. Drying yeasty finish. Balances out nicely, while still maintaining a sharp sour bite. SHIG (1670), Oberoffligen, Germany Oct 28, 2008 Bottle @ LCRBM 08: Poured a pinkish red with a pink-white head. The aroma was sour fruit of cherries and raspberries. The taste was soft sour fruit with a bit acid and malt. I’m not at all a lambic fan, but I am sure I could have drank a whole bottle of this! djtimeless (56), Florida, USA Oct 26, 2008 Pours out redish with huge pink head, which rapidly dimnished. Smells fruity. Taste is tart with the raspberries shining through. Great sour finish. Funky and dry with a little acid.
