Sampled from a 12 oz green corked bottle this beer poured a black cherry color with a huge light pink head. Well carbonated - you can hear the foam crackling like rice crispies. The aroma was a lovely tart and sour cherry and raspberry mix. The flavor was tart and sour with an intense raspberry element and a tangy, yeasty middle followed by a long tart berry finish. Intense yet strangely subtle. Outstanding.

Bomber, pours red-amber with a large head. Carbonation is pearly and audible. Aroma features a big, fresh raspberry scent. Primary flavor is a slightly under-ripe raspberry with a refreshingly tart finish. Overall, this lambic comes together with a very accessible initial flavor, and it lingers on a perfect off-sweet note that makes you want to come back for another sip.

Cloudy with a deep red amber color and an average head. It smells of raspberries. Taste is sour raspberries but slightly week. I was expecting more from the flavor.

Thanks biggcb. Pours a deep clear mauve with a slightly reddish head. Some floating chunks dislodged from the side of the bottle. Enticing aroma of fresh raspberries. Flavor is more of the same, plus a sweet vanilla element. Nicely fruity, slightly tart, not really sour. Noticeably thin bodied, despite the fizziness; the palate felt like it was missing something.

Pours slightly reddish brown with small head. Some sludge in the glass. Massively fragrant, but not sweet raspberry and malt aroma. Pronounced raspberry flavour with a very agreeable tartness. Goes down easily!

bottled. faintly hazed red with a spritzy off-pink head, full raspberry aroma with hints of green apple, some sherbet, if anything the sweetness dominates the sour character. still very tasty, though
