Bottle from Etre Gourmet. Pours blood red with a small head. Lovely berry aroma , taste is tarty raspberry and strawberries, fresh and crisp, full of enjoyment.

(draught) pours a clear ruby-amber colour with a frothy pink head. aroma of heavy raspberries and lemons, with a hint of rose essence, light pineapple, summer pastures and white bread. flavour is heavy raspberries, vanilla and herbal hops, with no sweetness and a medium tart finish. light to medium-bodied with soft carbonation.

750mL bottle at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, pours a cloudy dark ruby red with a medium pink-tinted beige head. Aroma of thick musty raspberries, loads of barnyard funk, and more musty raspberries. Flavour brings out quite intensely sour raspberries, some moderate funk, and a fuzzy mustiness from the raspberries. Very potent on the raspberries, with quite a high sourness and low-to-medium sweetness. Very complex and well-blended (even though it’s unblended). Excellent stuff.

At De Cam during TdG 2013. It pours deep red with a tiny white head. The nose is sweet, tangy raspberry, cranberry, jam, fruit syrup and wood. The taste is tart raspberry, lemon, Granny Smith apple, bramble, lactic, some acidity, raspberry seeds and mouth-puckering tartness with a dry finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Not a whole depth of flavour, but it is deliciously sour and utterly drinkable.

Sample @ De Cam during TdG ’13. The pour’s deep red with a small head. Tart cranberry nose. Raspberry jam. Brine. Musty basement. The taste is quite tart and sour. Jammy raspberry fruits. Nice sharp, clean finish. Not complex, but oh so tasty and drinkable. Great sweet/tart balance. Overall, excellent.

We’ve got a gusher...Vibrant red pour with a tall white head. Bright raspberry aroma, nice musty funk, grass, and plenty of lemon. A hint of oak, maybe some chocolate, and green apple. The flavor is sharply acidic and heavy on the raspberry. A bit of jam, grass, green apple, and lemon. Very nice funk. Musty and earthy, a hint of mushroom, leather, and oak.

raspberry slur-pee is there any beer in this or just raspberry’s? had so much fruit flesh that i had too use a spoon in the bottom of the glass to get it all out, amazing!!!

Bottle at Akkurat, bottled in 2009. Hazy dark red with a minimal head. Aroma of tart berries, wood and some vinegar. About the same in the taste. Also citrus, hay and notes of cellar. This was a relaxed lambic, not extremely tart but nicely drinkable.

Poured from the tank at De Cam - 6 months old - it reached the perfect balance between fruity raspberry juice and tart lambic, all aromas and taste components blended well. Incredible beer!

Thanks to Brad for sharing this one. Served in a De Cam tumbler. Very heavy raspberry in the nose and flavor. Good lactic and just a touch of acetic through the finish. Faint background earth.
