21/11 0.375 l bottle, vintage 2005, at Hopdevil, Zagreb. It poured red, slightly murky body with some particles floating inside. No real head, just somewhat near glass edges. Nice raspberry aroma, really pleasant and natural, but no beer felt. On the other side, flavor is nice lambic, with raspberry being just a nice background. Sourish, with vinous character and very refreshing. Very pleasant, just like its sweetish finish which is quite long due to typical fizzy carbonation for this style. Very well made fruit lambic!

Dark red in color with a pink disappearing head. Strong fruity rasberry notes in the aroma. Mainly sweet flavor that i found a little bit cloying, with some medium tart notes. Not as refreshing as the parfait, but still very good.

A pretty simple and straightforward raspberry lambic, a bit more lively and sweeter than I expected. Fruit background with some sourness. Not bad.

Pours a clear ruby red with a thin pink head. The aroma is raspberries, as well as plenty of lambic funkiness/fishiness. The flavor is sweet with fresh berries, along with sour acidic fermentation. A really great lambic and just what I expected. Champagne mouthfeel.

Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. Poured a dark red colour with a medium pinkish head. Big raspberry aroma which continued in to the flavour which started sweet then kicked in to a sourness which had a wonderful balance to it. Supremely tasty.
