Red-brown muddy brown, huge raspberry aroma with sweetness. Sour, tart, and lightly carbonated. A good breakfast beer.

2003 bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, nuts), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with a strong note of fresh raspberries, light note of juniper. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, syrupy/watery mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Nice malty brown ale base, with carton-of-fresh-raspberries aroma and a nice sweet/sour balance for a fruit beer. Some tannins would be a nice addition, though, and I’m surprised it has so little.

Wonderful smelling rust coloured Belgian Brown Ale with negligible head. Watch out for the particles at the bottom. Flavour is immediately of fresh, tart rasberries with maybe some cherry as well. Powerful sour finish which is an acquired taste, but I’d like to try more.

Sweet and tart for the most part. Rich raspberry color and aroma makes this a great beer for desert or relaxing with. Like a champagne of beer.

This seems like the perfect match between champagne, beer and raspberry juice. Good sour taste and very refreshing for those hot summer days

(Bottled, 4.5% ABV, 0.375l) Hazy, dark amber color with a smallish, beige head. A pleasant, sourish and slightly sweet raspberry aroma. Semi-dry, quite natural raspberry flavor with a sweetish, sticky finish. Medium-bodied, softly sour, slightly sugary palate with balanced carbonation. Would probably be better without raspberries, but as a fruit beer, this is certainly a very pleasant one.

Had this at The Old Toad in Rochester, New York. Poured a dark ruby with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is very tart raspberries. Flavor was tart with a sharp acidic bite, with a touch of raspberries mixed in. Very refreshing.

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.
