bottle 250ml 2,85€ from S-market EXP 07/11/08 shared 151108 LLBF with FatPhil & Anna color hazy brownish red transparent lively huge head scent:sour rasberry. Taste sour rasberry from first sip pleasant rasberry aroma bit phenols in aftertaste .double sugars melted away (tasted first time summer 2007) now sourness is more demanding but still some sticky sugars left. Re-rated now extremely huge white head. Scent raspberry sourness dominates. hints of berries left. It is bit over I think

0.25 l bottle. Red cplor with dull pink head, very fizzy. Sweet and acidic aroma with plenty of raspberry and hints of red currant. Sweet raspberry flavor with some acidity. Too sweet and gassy, hard to drink. The flavor is also somehow unclean and dull.

Hazy red with large off white head with a pinkish glimt. Loads of raspberries in the aroma. Sweet and mild tart flavor with loads of raspberries. Refreshing stuff.

Sweet and sour raspberry aroma. Flavor is sweet, bit sour and very raspberry.

Bottle @ Les Moules, Prague.
Pours deep red-brown with a big, frothy pink head. Powerful aroma of sweet raspberries - quite natural ones, even. Quite high in carbonation, light mouthfeel. Flavour starts with a soft fruity tartness, then gets sweeter with lots of fruit. It is a fine enough brew, marred by too high carbonation and too much sweetness.

Bottled at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague. Hazy reddish brown, small pink head. Fresh raspberry syrup aroma. Very sweet, yet with some freshsning acidity. Light bodied, but not thin. Some metal in the finish. More credible than most of these new wave low alcohol commercial Belgian fruit beers, but I still don’t understand why I should drink it again.

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy red with a lacing and light pink head. Aroma is sweet and acidic raspberry. Flavour is light sulphorish raspberry and mild fruity with a light acidic touch. Finish is mild sweet and dry sulphorish at once. Nice one.
