Bottle. Pretty small but lingering head on a brown-red body. Aroma slightly tart and musty with a fruity sweetness. A clean lactic tartness blends well with the light sweetness of raspberries. A small mustiness complements. Not too shabby. It’s a little light on all of the flavors, though - I’d like a little more of everything.

Clear red brown with small off-white head. Aroma of reaspberries with a slightly dusty funk. Medium sweet, but tart flavour of raspberries and caramel.

Surprisingly this has a rather dense, creamy to foamy off-white head, reddish-brown colour. The aroma comes close to that of wine mash with notes of fruits and grains. Flavours of sweet blackcurrant and raspberries (oh really?) with a nice, careful sourness. This remindes me of cider too, with the acidic and somewhat "green" taste of sorrel... Late late, veeery light bitterness, hardly noticeable. Not too sticky nor sweet to me - nice!

Sample from a bottle brought by some guy from Moortgat to Ma’abarot beer festival. Red-colored. Sugary raspberries aroma. Sweet raspberries, sugar and light sourish oak. Medium-bodied, a bit sticky.

Bottle.Raspberry and candy aroma. Redbrown colour with small head. Sweet fruity raspberry flavour mixed with citrus. Mour sweet than sour. Acidity not very prominent.
