Pours a nice red with a tall pink head. Very potent smell and taste of raspberry, weird after taste.

25cl bottle. Pours ruby with nice pink head. Aroma is mostly dweet and fruity with some sour lambic/grassy aroma. Taste is mainly raspberry sweetness with just a slight tartness in the finish. Way too artificial.

750ml bottle. Ruby red, no head. Overly sweet almost raspberry syrup, not much finish but a touch of bitter. Just not my thing - prefer sour/tart over sweet.

It was a pretty good lambic. Very champagne like with a nice medium sweetness. Nice fizziness that propels the tartness of this drink throughout the mouth. Pretty good.

A true raspberry flavor that has a nice bitter finish with a sweet finish. Has a very dark purple coloring and almost can’t believe this is not a champagne.

I drank this from a 22oz bottle into a champagne flute during Christmas lunch. This lambic pours a dark ruby red with a nice big 3 finger high purple head. The retention and lacing are both great. The aroma is little subdued for a lambic. It has a general sense of light tartness superimpsed on some nice fresh raspberries. The taste is nice and balanced. It is very sweet with lots of raspberries and a little tart kick at the end. This flavor makes it very drinkable but it needs a little more tart to me to make this elite. Overall, a good lambic, to me more of a fruit beer with not that much tartness that would make it very good.

12 oz. bottle at home into a Lindemans flute. Gorgeous berry red color with impressive, fluffy white head which occupies over half of my glass. Complex aroma of , well, raspberries but also some "old hop" aromas of strong cheese which is typical of a lambic. Flavor is fruity - cooked raspberry jam rather than fresh berries, with a healthy dose of Brett. Never really gets sweet, and the finish is tart, acidic, sour, yet fruity. Sublime.

Draft. Pours ruby and hazy with very little head. Extremely strong fruity raspberry aroma, taste is more raspberry with a loft sweetness up front, but finishes tart. Very fruity, flavorful, tasty.

An obvious raspberry scent and an agreeable sourness go hand in hand in this acceptable fruit lambic.
