GuilTTy (527), Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA Dec 4, 2006 Bottle from a tiny little place in St. Micheals, MD. Pours a haxy deep ruby with a nice off white head and plenty of lacing. Aromas of rasberries, blackberries, sour apple, yeast and autumn leaves. Crisp, tart berry flavor along with a healthy dose of yeast. Prickly carbonation that enhances the flavors and aroma. Mildly sour and crisp finish with a restrained sweetness that easily leads to the next sip. asheft (1374), Marburg, Germany Oct 31, 2006 [on tap and Grand Gueule; not sure which of the Liefmans Framboises this one was]
Sweet and sour red raspberry aroma. Very dark red, coca-cola colour, with very little white, wisps. Flavour was as predicted by the aroma: sweet and sour with not too potent red raspberry and a sweet, lip-smacking feel leading to malt flavour and a hint of "oud" sourness. This beer would be incredibly good with a bit less sweetness and a lot more sourness. Extremely low carbonation (probably bad bar management) medium body, mouth puckering plus tingly sweetness. ratman197 (3139), Arvada, Colorado, USA Oct 29, 2006 375 ml bottle poured a hazy brown with red highlights and a lasting amber head. Aromas of raspberry and a hint of wheat. Palate was light bodied. Flavors of wheat and raspberry with a lightly tart slightly sweet lingering finish. daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada Oct 22, 2006 Dark, shiney, ruby-red colour with a foamy and rocky pinkish-white head. Candyish raspberry blossoms from the glass with just a hint of must and implying tartness. The first sip is a bit on the sweet side with a mouth-tingling spritziness that doesn’t hinder. The second sip is the same except that the tartness lingers a bit longer and the raspberry comes to fruition. Finishes dry and semi-sweet. A nice, easily drinkable Flemish sour, but I’d like a bit more of the sweetness and a more robust, earthy raspberry fruitiness. Nice however, and one that I’ll drink again.

Thisone I’ve selected to be my beer no. 100, because it’s one of the best fruit sour ales I ever have tasted. Very much a sweet beer, but it’s ok. If you are in the mood of drinking more sour fruit ales, thisone is not your choice. It’s just a real summerbeer for aperitif sessions.
zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Oct 13, 2006 Bottle. Pours ruby red, thin pink head. Aroma is tart raspberry. Flavor is the same and not too sweet. This is very drinkable. larsniclas (3383), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 8, 2006 [Sampled at SBF -06]
