4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pinkish ruby colour. Flat. Full fruity aroma (rasp.), almost a bit of rhubarb. Tart body, but accessibly juicy with robust fruit and a great body. Long, woody finish. Wonderful. For me, best of show at the WSF.

A Mes rate. Barrel at the Weekend of Tarts.
My word, this was a good one. It’s quite some time since I have looked forward to something as much as this and it actually exceeded my expectations. Looks wise, it’s a vision of cloudy pink / red awesomeness. Aroma reminds me very much of the original Cantillon Framboise. The flavour is utterly stunning. Just the right amount of incredible raspberries that never overpower the sublime base lambic. I’m unusually lost for words here. Downable as hell. A perfect balance of juicy fruit and pucker sourness. Length is out of this world. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant beer.

Tap @ WSF. Pours cherry red and still. Aroma of sweet raspberries, but not cloyingly sweet to go along with typical Cantillon funk. Taste is full of superbly sour raspberries, best I’ve ever tasted. Some spritzy citrus notes in there as well. Finishes with plenty of sourness and lingers long. A beautiful beer and probably the beer of the festival in my eyes. I’m just glad I managed to get another glass before MesandSim finished it all!
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Draft at WSF. Hue is jewel candy-red, a pristine and perfect color. Aroma is subtle raspberry, subdued sourness, some wood, and lingering lactic notes. Flat easy palate. Exceptional flavor profile, but not a lot of funk. Is rather sophisticated, refined. Lots of raspberry seed flavors. The fruit is at once powerfully dry yet subtly sweet. One of the most memorable beers at the festival.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation. Cloudy pink with variegated red color. Aroma has a shocking amount of fruit! as well as dust and grapefruit. Taste has smooth and sour grapefruit, lemon, dry, dusty and sour raspberries, peppery finish. Amazing.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Slight red in color. Nice head. A bit more tart in taste than other Lambics I have tried but had a wonderful finish and easy to drink. Highly recommended.

Plastic jug - WSF. Cloudy reddish - no head. Raspberries. Fruity. Lots of red berries. Light sourness. Light horsey. Very smooth.

draft@WoSF 2011: hazy dark pink/red with no head, smell is very sour raspberries, taste is very tart raspberries followed by a harsh acidic aftertaste that obliterates the raspberries, some sour lemon, puckering, light body & completely flat, not bad, nice
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Draught) Pours a cloudy deep red body with no head. Aroma of leaves, grass, raspberries, and straw. Flavor of tart raspberries, light citrus, and earth with a dry finish. Excellent!
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught No head, colour halfway between cyclamen and cardinal red. Rainwater, raspberries, (quite) a bit of wood or straw - and strawberry aroma! Very dry tasting, fruity but not really outspoken raspberry, tart, rhubarb flavour on the palate. Very slick, dry as a skeleton, no fruit filling however. Very good, if a bit discreet on the matter of raspberry, fruitlambic, dry as none.
