rakkasan (142) - Bresso, ITALY - NOV 13, 2009
bottle- pours red-wine color with small, pink, diminishing head. The aroma is rasberry with a tiny hint of tart apple. The taste is yeasty, with rasberry and tannin notes, reminds me of an Italian fragolino wine. Lighlty sour finish.

austone (1062) - Turku; Pori, FINLAND - NOV 13, 2009
75cl, vintage 2004. 1000th rating. Murky muddy red, tiny mostly fading light pink head. Juicy, raspberry seeds aroma, sweetish old raspberry jam. Very full flavor, sweetish and intensive old raspberry juice, a little tart, but feels sweetened. A tad short finish with mild funky pepper tang and minty coins. Hasn’t picked any cellar. Medium bodied, lively carbonation. With the sediment in this even got some notes of a flemish red, with a firm mouthfilling palate and sweet berry flavors. Lovely, it really shows what this stuff is made of.

2008 Bottle. Aroma of raspberries (obviously). Sourness dominates the flavor. A decent lambic but nothing more.

eManu (371) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 4, 2009
37.5cl corked bottle. Pours a dark burgundy color with a very light pink head that did not stay. Strong aroma of raspberries. Flavors of sour raspberries and some oaks, some apples. Little carbonation and little dry ending. Rich taste but very light and easy to drink with some sweetness.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - OCT 19, 2009
75 cl bottle. 2004 vintage. Dark red with orange-brown tints, and a tall, fine, head. Jammy raspberry aroma, rather tart, lactic and creamy, with a bit of funk. Very tart lambic with raspberries and cherry, creamy, vanilla and some nuts. Just a bit of horse blanket. This has a perfect sweet and tart balance. Just a bit of sweet fruit under a hugely tart base. Smooth, creamy, rich body. Really wonderful.

330mL Bottle. Best by 13.02.2011 (a 2006?) Flickr(http://www.flickr.com/photos/26049401@N0 An interesting mix of cooked and fresh raspberries jams up the nostrils. A pungent touch of cheesy funk meets with pastry dough. Very soft and inviting. A bit of spiciness on the back draw. Pours a dingy red-tinted brown, with a well lacing rose foam. Flavor moves from light wheatiness towards a jam-like berry character and then a strong finish in black raspberry coulee. Some alcohols alight in the nostrils, bringing bramble leaves, oak, and cobwebs. I find this a touch watery, thin, and cellar musty. Not the densest, most potent fruit lambic. Body could use some improvement.

Bloekie (191) - BELGIUM - AUG 13, 2009
Aroma is overwhelmingly framboise. Appearance is clear red with no head at all. Flavor is enjoyable, but nothing special, a hint of raspberries but not that much. Palate is confined to sweet.

lassem (631) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - AUG 7, 2009
Bottle 37,5 cl from Dranken Geers, Belgium. Deep redwine-red colour with a pink inch-high head. The Aroma is thick with almost "artificials" raperries...they are propably real....impressive. The taste is lolly-like. Ágain alot of sweet berries but not much sourness which I really prefer in my lambics. Still its a good and gentle taste that propably would suit most people. Medium oily mouthfeel. The finish is sweet with some bitter grape untertones.
