1 pint on draft at Queen’s Arms in Kensington, London. Pours a brownish-red amber body with little head. The aroma is very feint...maybe some tart raspberry. The taste is raspberry and sour alcoholic taste. Assumed this was a fruit beer going into it, however the sour ale explains the sourness way better.

Clear, muddy red body with a small pinkish head, fading. Sweet and tart raspberry nose with light balsamic vinegar, some caramel and wood. The flavor is quite sweet and lightly sour with lots of fresh raspberries, some cherry, light caramel and a touch of dusty, musty funk hidden underneath it all. Medium body is sparkling, but a bit thin with moderate to high carbonation. Decent for what it is.

Bottle (37 cl) from Bier tempel, Brussels, Belgium. Murky red, medium light pink head. Clear aroma of fresh raspberries, along some notes of wood and leather. Medium bodied and smooth. Very well balanced, a light sweetness is backed up by a gentle acidity, and a discrete grapefruit bitterness.

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.

Bottle at home, picked this up from Dranken Geers, near Gent, Belgium 03-03-08 Syrupy raspberry notes also a faintly plastic smell, quite strange but in no way did I find this off-putting. The colour was brown with hints of red and an off white head sitting atop. Fruity sweet and sourness and some syrupy sweetness are there but the raspberries bounce through and make this a very drinkable beer, sort of reminds me of a raspberry meringue.

listed as liefmans frambrozen at the tasting, i think this is the right beer amazing raspberry aroma, very surprised it didnt come through as much in the taste (good). highly carbonated and acidic, but a little too sweet for my liking
