Draught @ <a href=http://ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eventID target=_new> Zythos Bier Festival 2008, Sint Niklaas, Belgium. Light unclear red color with a virtually none appearance, virtually none lacing head. Aroma is raspberry - green apple sour, raspberry, red wine, wood, cask wood, notes of vanilla. Flavor is moderate sweet, moderate to light heavy acidic - tart - sour, moderate bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. Very nice ;o)) (020308)

ZBF2008: From cask. Pours dark red, slight hazy and no head. Mild sweet raspberry. Flavour is dry raspberry, slight woody and sulphorish. Goes into a dry woody finish with a subdued fruity note.

UPDATED: MAY 17, 2005 Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear red, slightly hazy. Fresh raspberry aroma. CItric and intense with balanced acidity and concentrated raspberry flavour. Complex, yet refreshing. Probably the best beer made with raspberries.

Draught at WoSF 2008. Muddy red coloured with no head - looks like a berry smoothie. Aroam of raspberries and grass with acidic notes. Flavour of raspberries and grass with acidic notes. Tart finish.

Cask at ZBF09. Mild acidic aroma, hint of fruit. Beautiful clear dark red colour. No head. The flavour is slightly sweet, some berry notes. Not sour, only a hint of acid. Berry bitterness in the finish. Quite a mild fruit lambik, but nice enough.

Draught @ Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. Muddy red with no head and tons of floaties. Aroma has discrete raspberry and fish notes. Sweet flavor with raspberry and off notes. This one went wrong.

On tap at ZBF 08. Vermillion colour with a slight haze. From the cask. Lovely pippy raspberry. In fact one of my favourite beers of the day. Sweet, sour, juicy and dry all in one go. Far better than the Kriekenlambik in my opinion.

Wooden cask at ZBF 2008. Clear high red/ruby - no head. Raspberries, raspberrie-marmelade, wood, oak, low/light acid, light sweetness, light tar. Nice freshness.

Tap, straight from the barrel @ ZBF 2009.
Pours clear dark red with almost no head. Aroma has light cherries, but there is not much there. Almost flat, just a flicker of carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly tart, good cherries. A touch of sweetness, but otherwise nicely tart and dry.

Draught @ ZBF 2011: Red coloured. No head. Loasd of raspberries, earth, sourness, citrus in this beer. Has a medium to full body. Loads of sourness countered by some sweetness from the berries gives a quite delicious and balanced beer. Very nice.
