<i>Tap at The Local - thx Shandy!</i> I seem to have had an inordinate number of raspberry beers lately for some reason, and the common feature of all of them is that the berries impart that really great fresh but slightly jammy aroma, with the seeds quite evident. It’s just that they ALL have that same aroma. When you’re Rosé de Gambrinus you have extra lambic stuff or when you’re voota’s raspberry imperial stout you’ve got something else for it to work with. Thus is the failing of this beer. It’s just raspberry aroma. Like a watered down version of Redoak Framboise Froment, and that’s not exactly super-exciting to start with. So yeah, it’s got a really nice raspberry aroma, looks good and pink, and tastes of really very little. Not actively bad, just seriously watery and boring. The raspberries need a much gutsier base. No idea what makes this a ’lambic’ either - the acidity seems fruit-derived to me, though I could be wrong. The website sheds no light on it either. Seriously expensive too, which I guess means they’re using fresh raspberries at least. Disappointing.
