Bottle. @ Copenhagen Øl Festival. Small reddish fizzy head that mostly diminished. Spar lacing. Light cloudy and red color. Sweet raspberries, other notes of berries, vinegar and hint of fresh apple with some citrus notes as well. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Well balanced between the sour and sweet notes. Nice sweet raspberries finish.

Pours brownish/red with a light brown head. Amells of raspberries, sweet malt, some sugar, some farmhouse cellar hints. Tastes of sugary raspberries with some pronounced tartness. Mouthfeel is syruppy with a sugary finish. Not sure why this is listed as a Flemish sour. It’s much more of a fruit beer, IMO.

Smells of raspberry but a little too much on the gueuze/sour side. Deep red colour and white lacing head. But taste, wow, smooth, sweet, not too sweet, thick body. One of the nicest framboise beers I’ve ever had.

Pours dark brown with a big foamy tan head and a lot of small bubbles clinging to the glass. Big rasberry preserves aroma. Flavor is a lot of sweet rasberries with just enough funky tartness to keep it from getting too sweet without sacrificing flavor. A very enjoyable sour ale.

Cloudy red color. Aroma and flavor completely dominated by sweet raspberry juice. Sweet cloying aftertaste.

Bouteille 2006. Arôme de framboises intense. Belle mousse qui s’estompe pour laisser un mince lacet qui trace bien le verre. Goût plutôt sucré de framboises avec un légère acidité vineuse, on goûte aussi la levure. Je la préfère à la Kriek, car l’acidité est moins forte et elle se boit mieux. Encore ici, je serais curieux d’y goûter plus agée.

Slightly cloudy raspberry red beer with a lively pink head that eventually goes away. Raspberry jam aroma makes me think that this sucker is gonna be super sweet and refreshing. Beer is actually fairly dry in the end after starting off as liquified raspberry preserves. Nothing to exceptional but enjoyable as adult soda goes.

Bottle, 37,5 cl. Dark red color, pinkish head. Aroma is heavy raspberry. Really sweet, with a sour raspberry touch. Not so bad. Good refresing as a aperitif today on this sumer day.
