Brought by my mom. What hell is that beer? Looks like a Cider or Keep Cooler drink. Nice appearance with a Cloudy Amber color and a nice foam, but too sparkling Not good at all..

Draught at the brewpub, a very cloudy pink with a thin bubbly head. Some tangy berry aroma but very light. Very carbonated palate with a sourness that dominates the raspberry flavour a little. Some champagne characteristics, but maybe too sweet.

Thanks to ghawener. Sparkling Wine. Fizzy, high carbonation with no head. Sweet and malty with a distant raspberry flavor.

Bottled. hazy orange colour with low creamy white head. Refreshing aroma of wild raspberries. Sweeter finish of raspberries and syrup with mild artificial aftertaste.

Bottled, thanks Fukito! Hazy reddish amber, small almost pink head. Tart aroma of fresh respberries. Sweet and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Intense tart raspberry flavour that balances the sweet malt well. An unusual but worthwile beer wit refreshing qualities despite it’s size and relative sweetness.

Hazy red and gold with a pink, fizzy layer of foam. The aorma is an interesting blend of sweet raspberries, light caramel, light biscuit and interesting sour quality not unlike a mild blue cheese. The body is light and crisp on the tongue, and frankly quite pleasing to drink. The fruit and sweetness come out more in the flavor with a noticeable but mild sourness that becomes apparently only at the very end. A couple of final thoughts: first, this was good, but the sourness seemed fake in some way. I don’t mean it as an insult, but my impression was that it was someone contrived and not as authentic as with, say, a Cantillon. Secondly, despite the odd looks from the bartender at the Pilgrim Bar, I enjoyed this. Maybe not many men order this? They should, it’s pretty tasty.

Hazy reddish golden ale with a thin white head. Faint raspberries in aroma. In mouth, strong chemical raspberries with malt liquor qualities. Too strong and unbalanced. Metallic finish. On tap, May 2006.

Bottled - October 2005. It pours with a gently white head that soon dissapear leaving a ring with legs in the glass. Great reddish colour, some hazy. The aroma wasn’t as I expected, perhaps with a little diacetyl with strong fruity notes that I couldn’t clearly recognise at all as raspberries. The flavor was better, slightly sweet at first, with a noticeable character of the raspberries in the aftertaste. I expected more tartness from the fruit, but the finish was a good ballance between hop bitterness and a dry sensation. Good carbonation. Far different from an autentic Lambic, but a good fruit beer by it’s own right. I like it.
