2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
A red beer with a fine but disappearing beige head. The aroma is acidic raspberry. The flavor is very sweet raspberry - too sweet and too much raspberries for me. And the carbonation is prickling all over - too much of that too. This is a French version of Alsterwasser. And it ended up just anothter rating for me.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy, reddish caramel colour with a small, off-white head. Fresh berry nose. Very heavy carbonation. Dry-bodied with an underlying tartness. Distinct raspberry flavours - unfortunately partly from artificial aromas. 251205

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Rubeyish amber colour, small head. Aroma is raspberry, not much else. Flavour is raspberries along with wood and some mild sweetness from brown sugar or syrup. Not too impressed.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle, 6%. From a distance the raspberry aroma is nice, but up close there is some plastic. Hazy red colour. Raspberry flavour, some phenol. Distinct liquorice, nice enough, but not with raspberry. Berry pit bitterness, tolerable.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle at Le Quincampe, Paris
Hazy ruby color; big head. Aroma of ripe raspberries, like a jam. The flavor has little beer in it, but a quite evident raspberry jam touch, medium sweetness. A bit fake, suitable only for who likes the style.
