It’s incredible what 10 months has done to this beer. Extreme initial tartness has mellowed to reveal an amazing drink, an outstanding aperitif of sumptious fruit. 75 cL bottle pours a deep maroon-red, pinkish-white head fades fast. Huge nose of raspberry--real, fresh raspberry--with notes of lemon and bits of old goat cheese (wish I had some to pair). Incredibly juicy flavor, Intense but reasonable fruity tartness, with a wave of dryness bubbling out of the champagne-like mouthfeel. That real fruit reigns throughout.

Jul 25, 2008 This red lambic ale poured with a thin pink head and a fruity floral aroma. There is a sharp raspberry flavor that is both tart and mellow - very dry.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle shared with Marcus and Steve at Toronado. Reddish/mahogany color with a minimal pinkish head. A nice sour aroma. Hard to pick up any raspbery. Near medium body with mild carbonation. It is smooth oaky sour. The raspberries are not overwhelming. It brings kalamata olives to mind. Astringent, woody and dry. But some sort of sour sugar hits the sides of the mouth in the finish.

Jul 17, 2008 Beautiful dark red body with a light pink head. The aroma is massive raspberries with some hay. There are also some leathery notes. The taste is very tart with some light raspberries behind it. There is also some leathery goodness behind that. A light clean body, this is not as overwhelming as I would have expected. Very nicely made with a dry finish.

Jul 11, 2008 Pours ruby red with an light red head bubbly head that dissapates quickly. Aroma of barnyard, wood, cherries, and raspberries. Taste is wood to start with the cherry and raspberry showing up in the middle with a nice tart ending. What a great balanced mix of flavors without anything overpowering the other. Thanks Grim!!!
