Cloudy reddish brown, with a large pinkish head. Intense raspberry aroma. Rich raspberry taste; sweet and sour, tart and with a nice mouthfeel. Despite the dominant raspberryness, the quality of the beer is also apparent. Very nice.

Cloudy red-brown with small head. Rich raspberry aroma and flavor. Malty, little oak, tart. Nice soft mouthfeel, full-ish.

Murky brown with red tints, with a quick dissipating head. Bursting with raspberry aroma, hints of cake frosting as well. Falls in the middle of the sweet to sour spectrum for the style. At times somewhat thin and spritzy, acidic, with a perpetually lingering raspberry flavor. Tart with a dry finish. Easy drinking without being artificially sweet.

It's a deliciously raspberry taste on the first sip, but it leads to a deliciously sour taste on subsequent sips. Liefmans has made a fantastic fruit beer. I’ll have it again for sure. Very much like good sours candies.

Sweet pleasant aroma, but this is not a sweet brew. Perfect as an apéritif - made me hungry - fresh and a nice mouth impression. A very good drink before a good meal.

Brownish red color, bigger tan head. Nice raspberry aroma. Flavor is sweeter than expected with only slight tartness coming through. Pleasant and refreshing and very easy to drink. Very nice.

Red-brown color, full sweet rasberry aroma and taste, light body, sweet sparkling dry finish.
