Draught at ZBF 2008, Sint Niklaas, Belgium
Hazy red/pinkish flat body. No head whatsoever. Sweet winey aroma of raspberry with some vanilla. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter flavour. OK balance. Very nice and smoothly.

Dark raspberry red colour, very small pink head. Fruity aroma, lots of raspberries, raspberry pips and raspberry jam. Light sweet. Tart raspberry flavour, light citrus acid, quite sweet, but in a natural way. Finish raspberry.
Light on the lambic aromas, but oh, what a lovely raspberries!
(Draught @ ZBF ’12)

Cask @ ZBF 2012 // dark raspberry coloured with a small pink raspberry head // smells like raspberry jam // tastes like slightly sweet (natural fruit sweetness) mashed raspberries, especially the pits of the raspberries, small hint of lemon juice / acid in the back but the smallest hint, not much tartness in here, feels a bit like drinking mashed raspberries (not quite as thick as a smoothie) but flat in a good way, still miss bit of the pungent character of a lambic in this

Cask @ ZBF’12. Couleur rubis profond, sur un col moyen aux tons bordeaux. Arôme est de pure framboise, que dire d’autre, Boon marque des points là où trop ont pour l’option sucrée. Bouquet fruité, terreux, rappelant un cousin lointain dans la New Glarus Raspberry Tart. En bouche, divin, on est loin devant une simple bière, un régal au palais qui ne se boit pas, mais se déguste doucement, fruits frais, et encore là, la framboise qui domine le tout, suivi du profile du lambic portant un léger côté froment. Néanmoins, tout cela est éclipsé par ce fruité qui accroche les papilles, sur des notes aigres et de fruits rouges terreux qui rendent là toutes les caractéristiques de le framboise.

Draft at Vijgeblad Beringen. Pink colored beer with a pink head. Sweat fruity aroma. Taste: a very well balance between the sweetness of the raspberry and the tartness of a real lambic.

In bottiglia al Verzekering Tegen De Grote Dorst; un lambic molto delicato e poco aggressivo che hanno apprezzato anche i miei amici neofiti

Etwas süß, leicht künstlich, wässrig. Hier ist das Lambic eher langweilig, die SÜße verschwindet nach und nach, eine säuerliche Note wird unter der verbleibenden Fruchtigkeit nur angedeutet. Test vom 12.3.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: -,8,8,8,-,8 - 8,00

Draught at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation. Cloudy bright red color. Aroma of fresh strawberries (!) and lemon, subtle white pepper. Taste has peppery fruit, tart, dry, bitter finish. Nice.

(draught) pours a hazy ruby colour with lots of floaties and no head. aroma of raspberries and citrus fruits, big notes of vanilla, with notes of butter and straw. flavour is mostly raspberries, with hints of barnyard and lemons and a light to medium sourness that doesn’t quite balance out the sweetness of the raspberries. medium-bodied with no carbonation.

06/03/2011 - on tap @ Zythos Beer Festival (2011-93)

Cloudy bright red beer, no head. Aroma: fruity, yoghurt, red berries. MF: no carbon, light to medium body. Taste: raspberries, buttermilk, lemon zest. Aftertaste: yoghurt, sour raspberries. Refreshing and nice!

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.
