UPDATED: DEC 29, 2010 Dark pink coloured beer with small pinkish head and no carbonation visible. Strong sweet fruity aroma, framboise. Full sparkling palate. Finish is sour sweet and fruity ending rather very dry with some nice framboise hints. Nice one !!!

dark red brown coloured body with a little white head a sweet fruity little soury aroma a sweet fruity sour grainy taste with a soury bitter finish

Nose of hay, dry hops, lots of cherry, feel is broad, carb is low, taste is sweet cherry, late bitter whiff of hops

Färgen är mycket mörk och man kan även se den röda bärfärgen i det tunna skumlaget. Ölen har en nästan 100 % koncentrerat hallondoft, fast ändå på ett bra sätt som gör att man orkar faktisk sitta och dofta på den ett tag (fast bara ett). Smaken är som tur är fullt så konsentrerat som doften, men det smakar rena hallon självklart. Det är inte så mycket surhet i ölen trots att det är en fruktlambic, men bara en aning som faktisk balanserar smaken av de söta bären. I början är den mycket trevlig och läskande. Efter glas två vill man ha något annat. Det är nästan som att äta en hallonbakelse som aldrig tar slut…

Thanks to Todd for sharing! Vintage 2004. Solid fruit beer if not one of the best. I wonder how a more infected version of this is like

(375ml bottle best by 3-6-2012 thanks to Mora2000) clear brown-orange with a ring of tan bubbles. Nose of raspberries, earthy, chocolate, light wood, and sweet. Taste has an odd chemical, white chocolate, cedar, some bitter raspberry, and an odd linger. Carbonation is just ok, bitter artificial fruit finish and some cranberries hanging around as well. Not a top tier fruit lambic by any means.

UPDATED: MAR 26, 2011 2008 bottling, had at 22/10/2010. 8/4/7/4/15. Murky brownred with a light pink head. Tart raspberries and strawberries on the nose. There is some berry sweetness at first that turns over to acidity and a very light bitterness. Not a lot of funk going on. 2003 bottling, had at 21/03/2011. 9/4/9/5/17. Light brown. Lots of almonds, marzipan and amaretto. Some berries and slight sour raspberries. A little lactic but not very sour. Slightly tart. Very luxuos beer!

375ml bottle. Poured with a large, light pink head that didn’t hang around, severing itself from its otherwise attractive clear, effervescent deep ruby body. Up front tart raspberry aromas with a creamy, sweeter cheesecake, pavlova-esque edge beneath. Like the kriek, not all that sour on the tongue. Nice and sweet, juicy raspberry notes on the tongue. Has a fair, balanced dose of tartness but it’s over all too quickly and doesn’t pucker or dry the palate as much as I’d like/expect. That being said, the palate texture is quite spritzy and lively, refreshing with a dry & short bitter raspberry seed finish. A bit like a sorbet & just as easygoing.
