Pink-read colour, white head. You can smell the rasp-berries even when you're not drinking or really smelling the aroma. The aroma is mostly rasp-berry aroma, but slightly gueuze-aroma. The flavour is not sweet, it is more like the framboise of Cantillon: little bit sweet, but still dry and really rasp-berry-like.

Bottle. Color red with small head. Aroma raspberry, sour, sweet. Taste sweet, sour, rasberry.

Red colour, pinkish white deminishing head. Aroma of raspberry, raspberry jam, quite volatile. Light sour, light sweet. Quite tart flavour, dry, not sweet at all, even a surprising lack of sweetness. Light wood, somewhat astringent. Very decent carbonation, dry finish, lingering raspberry.
Overall it is a quite light framboise, but nice and even rather pink champagne like.
(From 37,5cL bottle @ home)

Pour clear ruby, with a small pink head. Aroma is packed with cherries, hay, berries, sour sweets. Taste is a bit sour, with a fruity sweetness to it. Medium body, with a semi-flat carb.

Künstlicher und recht süßer Geruchm der sich im Geschmack zumindest zu Beginn erst einmal nicht bestätigt. Geringe aber im Vordergrund stehende Säuerlichkeit. Die dahinter stehenden Himbeernoten wirken dann aber doch in weiten Teilen künstlich, trocken, am Ende pappig. 7/10/11/8/6/8

cereal, cooked vegetables, smoke, licorice, dough, grass, red, sparkling, minimal head, heavy cloying sweetness, medium bitterness, heavily sour, full body, creamy, lively, astringent, long finish,

Clear red body with a pink head. Aroma has raspberry, some slight sourness and sweetness. A little dusty but quite enjoyable and refreshing raspberry flavour.

27/04/2011 375ml bottle. Bevuta in occasione del mio trentesimo compleanno. Bellissimo color pesca rosata con riflessi arancia e rossicci, lieve schiuma rosata. Al naso intenso aroma fruttato di lamponi, fragole e frutti di bosco, note erbacee e pungenti, acidità contenuta. In bocca è inizialmente dolce, fruttata, quindi evolve in moderatamente acida, lievemente agrumata, con note balsamiche, appena astringente. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta, complessa e ben bilanciata. Un lambic fruttato buonissimo e assai facile da bere. Perfetta come primo approccio al genere.

05-01-12 Petite bouteille: Très belle couleur rouge foncée, sans réelle mousse et très légère effervescence. Arômes: explosion de framboises avec une bonne touche d’acidité. Moyennement sucrée, avec une bonne note d’acidité et de surette, mais bien balancée. Les framboises sont bien présentes. Corps moyen et enveloppant avec une texture ronde et soyeuse en bouche. Très bonne lambic aux fruits qui se boit facilement.

Real geuze, the raspberry is not very distinct, nice tartness to the drink. Not sweet at all. Bottle from De Bierwinkel in Leiden.

Bottle, Delirium Cafe. Pours a brilliant ruby amber with a frothy one inch off-white head. So much fresh raspberry in the nose, hard to believe that this is an authenticly produced lambic. Just a light touch of cellar funkiness. The flavor is bursting with raspberry, zero acidity, this is crazy drinkable. Only slightly funky. Medium bodied with a touch of clingy fruit and perfect spritzy carbonation. A wonderfully drinkable beer!
