Bottle at Plan B, Best Before 2004. Amber colour with a small off white head. Aroma is syrup like raspberries, wood and weak notes of hay. The flavour was not as sweet as feared, but non-sweet honey like and raspberries with a woody and sour touch to it.

Raspberry and pink champahne aroma. Red colur with large white head. Quite like a pils with essence of raspberry, more beer like than a lot of lambics. Its good stuff!

This bottled brew labeled batch E/13/01 L.60 06H29 poured a large sized head of white colored medium sized frothy mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent orange brown colored uncarbonated body and a fair lacing. The aroma was all raspberry. The mouth feel was mild with an initial tingle and a lingering tingly palate with a raspberry aftertaste. It was semi dry and semi sweet. Did I mention the raspberries?

Not really sure why I bought this beer - definitely wanted the bottle for my home-brewed Lambic but I'm not sure it's the best value at $7 each. Aroma is fruity and completely lacking in Brett. character. In fact there was no discernable Brett. character at all. Attractive beer, red tinged with pretty decent head. Flavour was pretty reasonable. Quite fruity but quickly followed by a fairly strong sourness (a lot more than I remember). This has satisfied my need for crappy Lambics for quite some time.

(Bottle at Le Poechenellekelder, Brussels) Red/light brown, lasting offwhite head. Sweet raspberry flavor. Raspberry in the flavor as welll, with some bitterness. A bit thin.

I was expecting bad things after the dissappoitnment of the Kreik, but this was a step in the right direction. Less syrupy flavour, drier and far more drinkable. A hint of red in the colour, doesn’t hold a good head, and a slight aroma of tart fruitiness, all reasonable but not outstanding, but on the right track for the style.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy brownish red body with a thin white head. Raspberry nose. Flavor of raspberries, but not as sour or acidic as most Framboise.

All right, but I’m not sure how authentic of a lambic this is. Smells of raspberries and slight non-descript sweet-syrupy notes. Distinct light red-amber-gold color topped by a fizzy white head. Medium-high carbonation. Starts out with a light whack of sugary sweet flavors and raspberries and finishes with a very light tart-sour finish. A nice light, refreshing after-dinner beverage, nothing too challenging.

[bottle from peckhams] pours a clear red colour with a large white head. nose is raspberrys. has a light body and a little sourness in the finish.

Bottle. 5.7% ABV according to the label. Bubbly chestnut to red colour, thick white head. Raspberry, sweet and slightly acetic notes in the nose. Mouth is dull raspberry, slightly sweet and lasting dullness. Dusty. Average. Rich dull palate. OK, but nothing special.
