dense pink head with fine bubbles that disappears without lacing. cherry-red clear colour. aroma a whim of vinegar sour at the beginning after opening but disappears quickly, pronounced raspberry and fruity, slight barnyard funk and wood. taste is great citric sourness, raspberry with a long fruity dry aftertaste and a slight bitter/wry finish at the end. dry mouthfeel and medium carbonation and body. great! bottle 37.5 cl / bottled 12-10-2011

Bottle, but no bottle date. Hazy red with a medium sized pink head. Raspberries, oak, fruit stone, medium/high sour, medium sweet and light dry. Medium body, oily texture, medium carbonation. Refreshing although on the sour side.

375ml bottle. Reddish amber with a off white head and a pinkish hue. Aroma of raspberry, musty oak, vinegar and light lactic acid. Flavor is super dry and sour, tart puckering, faint berry and malt. Light body and very dry. This is a good beer but you really need to be in the right mood for it, super dry and sour.

Green-glassed bottle (750), corked and capped. Cleaning out my cellar, this one was acquired at least four years ago, probably five. But ahhh, the cork says "Botteld in 2.006" (double sic), so it’s a bit older. No gush or even release of carbonation on opening, pours sort of a deep orange with rose highlights and a lacing but very short tan head. Nose is tart with raspberry and an equal part lambic. Quite tart and puckeringly sour, and this is the kind that lasts long after the liquid hast left the throat, into the aftertaste. Medium raspberry and medium wood, a little bit of built-up slime left behind. Soft body with pleasant carbonation, raspberries have likely receded with time but there’s no doubt there still here; this is actually pretty dry on the whole, as well, though questions of sweetness don’t come to play with this level of sour. Intense lemon sourness. Love love love the wood component here, sucks me right in and will likely produce future salivation from memory. A treat!

Bottled. Pink colour with minimal and quickly diminishing off-white head. Aroma has notes of raspberries, light vinegar and sweet. Flavor is very fruity, with cherries and raspberries notes, light citrus and vinegar and veri slightly smoky notes. The final is fruity with a long duration. High and lively carbonation.
