Dark bloody red color with small reddish head. Strong rasberry aroma. Sourish, carbonated mouthfeel, fruity flavor of fresh rasberries. Some acidity in the aftertaste. Style is propably more fruit beer than FSA. Looking forward corked vintage version of this.

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark ruby with an average size diminishing pinkish-beige head. Aroma of fresh raspberries along with some yeast and a mild sourness. Nice tart raspberry flavour, not cloying at all. Medium bodied. A simple take on the style, more of a Fruit beer then a Flemish, but still a pretty good beer.

Bottle: Purple body and head, aroma is sweet of red berries, complex and full body that balances very well the sweetness and a nice malty bitterness. A beer to be enjoyed occasionally.

Thanks to Slander for sharing this at HWOH. One of the best out of all the aged liefman lambics. This one was a ’92 I believe, and it held up surprisingly well. Pours a nice deep fruity red with a off red-pinkish head that actually lasted for a bit but then faded eventually. Aroma is of some stale and sour raspberries, but still has a slight bit of sweet fresh fruit in there. Lots of lactic and tartness throughout. Some farmhouse and funky aromas and flavors are noticed as well. Lightly oxidized but not nearly as much as some others like the goudenband from the same year. Finishes with a dry cork, lactic, and sour end. Nice.
