Bottle, purchased @ Fromagerie Atwater. Pours orange with a 1 and a half finger bright white head. Sweet razzy nose. Taste is bitter raz with little to no flavor, very very bad.

Originally rated May 2006. Purchased in Laval at the Dépanneur À Tout Prix. Pours a cloudy light pink-orange colour, looking just like grapefruit juice. White head that stays a while and leaves decent lacing. Nice scent of raspberry purée and Belgian white beer yeast. The mouthfeel is not as tarty as I expected. The taste seems watered-down. You feel a bit of the raspberries at the start, but then goes to some slight bitterness and then goes smooth into a Perrier water taste and feel. Too bad the taste is not richer, as this one could have potential. For now, stick with the Unibroue Ephémère series.

Pours a reddish orange with a frothy white head and floaties. Aroma is raspberry and sulpher. Taste is horrid, sweet, sticky mess. Not much raspberry taste, just really, really bad.

Raspberry aroma. Light amber colour with a thin white frothy head. overall rather appealing. Flavour is very disappointing and a huge let down. Thin in texture, The great raspberry aroma just is not evident in the flavour. Not great.

Huge, solid white head. I can only pour a little into the glass every three minutes. The bottle in the meantime overflows with a thickness that is similar to toothpaste squeezed out of a tube. Recedes slowly. Orange-gold color with a haze. Very mild, but sour, smell. Hard to make a clear reading. Very thin body. Initially a sour taste, but it quickly succumbs to a strong metallic taste of iron, particularly in the aftertaste. I get absolutely no sense of any fruit. Ergo, it has no elements of a lambic that I can tell.

Tres aigre, acide et vinaigree... infectee? En tout cas c est pas ma premiere Breughel qui est comme ca. Et ou sont les framboises? Acidic, vinegar-like... infected? And where are the raspberry??

Bottle: Poured a deep golden/light brown color ale with a medium foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of berry syrup with a weird chemical like adjunct. Taste is also characterized by some chemical-like berry and malt. Very unpleasant and definitely not something I am about to try again.

hazy golden, lotsa foam aroma is rasberry but smells like a syrup, flavor is tart but doesn’t really hit the tartness a good proper gueuze should ok beer but not a top contender.

Hazy light golden with a tall head. It’s kind of like raspberry flavored soda water that’s running low on the raspberry syrup. Watery thin, with a stale air finish. Barely drinkable, and very disappointing.
