The aroma has lots of raspberry with yeast and sugar. The appearance is ruby red with an average foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma and a tiny bit sour. The palate is smooth. A very decent beer.

Idiosynkrasie (1831) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - MAY 18, 2013
375ml bottle. Clear copper colour with small, frothy, diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly artificial, sweet raspberry aroma. Taste is sweet, slightly artificial raspberry, in the middle part a tart note as useful counterweight flashes up; sticky palate. Way too sweet and artificial.

jookos (761) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 17, 2013
Bottle. Orange-peach colour, residue in bottle. Raspberry jam, slight funk and a bit of malts on nose. Body is quite full, feels sweet but not tacky. Sweet raspberries / candy, slight barnyard. Good drinkability, nice light desserty beer.

hotstuff (3340) - Indiana, USA - APR 11, 2013
Backlog rating 2-09-2009 (Corked and caged bottle) The Appearance is a small semi-fizzy light pink head with poor retention, spotty amounts of lacing, cloudy body, and no visible carbonation. The Aroma is sweet, sour, spicy notes, and raspberries. The Taste is tart, some acidity, raspberries, and makes one pucker up a bit. The Palate is tingly and this is a light-medium bodied Fruit beer. This beer is too sweet for my palate as it not a beer I can drink a lot of at any one time.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours bronze with red hue in color and with a thin bubbly head. Raspberry juice in aroma, some light funk as well. Taste is pretty sweet with the raspberry being the dominating element in this one.

sebletitje (5415) - Enghien, BELGIUM - JAN 20, 2013
37.5cl bottle sample @ RBBWG 2013, courtesy of ?. Cuivrée claire, col absent. Arôme est léger fruité avec ce côté framboise et édulcorant. Palais est trop sucrée et faiblard au possible, le tout est biscuité avec un côté framboise trop en retrait et surfait pour un fini sirop. Quel intérêt lorsque l’on sait que Ecaussines brasse déjà sa bière à la framboise. Ici, le tout ressemble à une version allégée de cette dernière.

Benzai (4333) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - JAN 19, 2013
Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2013. Clear pink-orange-light red color, no head. Smells sweet like lemonade for kids. Tastes like that too. Doesn’t taste like beer. Weak body, medium carbonation.
