daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Aug 24, 2009 Bottle shared by JW77 and his wife! Pours a nice red color. Aroma is full of tart cherries, raspberry, light oak, vinegar, and funk. Flavors follow suit with a great tartness but so much wonderful fruit on the finish. Very very good! Listigovers (96), Ontario, Canada Aug 24, 2009 Updated: Oct 2, 2009Bottle at Beer Bistro, did not check age. Extremely beautiful and potent aroma. Bright pink colour with a fluffy white head. Very acidic and sour flavour, not like anything I’ve ever had before (being only my 3rd lambic) a little difficult to drink. Eating food with it was good to cut the extreme sour flavour. A taste I need to acquire. Interesting mouthfeel, weird carbonation. witthatsbier (17), glasgow, Scotland Aug 23, 2009 dry sour wonderful lambic from the most traditional of brewers in anderlecht
this beer with added raspberries and sometimes a little cherry is a world class example DeweyDell (155), Columbus, Ohio, USA Aug 10, 2009 Pours a light red color with a frothy pink head - very feminine looking (I’m okay with that.) Smells... not as fruity as imagined, more like a gueze I think. It’s definitely got the sour, wet hay smell, and the raspberries are there - just subtle. Taste is definitely more raspberry. It’s got a huge sour punch that hits you right in the middle of the tongue. I really like this a lot, probably one of my favorite lambics (though I probably say that more often than I think, ha!) DrHomolka (726), Columbus, Ohio, USA Aug 10, 2009 750ml bottled Oct 1 2008. Pours a lovely bright cherry red with a light pink head. Size and retention of head are better than most in this style, I have to say. Aroma shows intense Cantillon funk. Urinal, pee pee, ripe fruit. Cherry and raspberry both present though the fruit is not overpowering. A tart acidity (redundant?) is present in the aroma leading one to believe this will be quite sour. Sweet fresh raspberries more prevalent as this warms. The taste is mildly tart with an acidic mildly lactic finish. Mildly fruity throughout. Dry and somewhat watery. More fruit or more sourness in the flavor would be nice, this does not have much of either. This is good though. I really can’t complain. shp555 (1678), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Aug 10, 2009 Pours a nice rose color with a pink head. Aroma is brett, sweat, goat, fruity, and tart. Flavor is nice fruity, brett, goat, and a dry cobbweb dry finish. armando629 (954), Budapest, Hungary Aug 10, 2009 Nice appearance with a pink body and a medium pink head what diminishes quickly. Aroma of raspberries, barnyard and vinegar, tart lemonade. The flavor is fruity with raspberries(of course), grapefruit, some vinegar taste. Absolutly correct lambic-framboise one.... DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 10, 2009 Aroma of raspberries and parts unknown (not sure, but is that CFC’s smoldering?), yeast, and floral esters. The appearance is a dark rosy color with a thin pink collar, (the bottle has a surly lad feeling up a strumpy tart. BONUS!!!). The flavor has unique flavors of tart raspberry, both vinuous and sour, almost puckering sour. Some tasty yeasts are also present. The feel is very tart right off, finishing to an ultimate sour that tempers out only after a prolonged time.
