kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Jun 9, 2008 Rich in raspberry, dazzled in character. Drinks like a fine wine. Is excellent in a snifter, stay away from the flute, let this baby breathe and drink it for all it speaks. I’m not typically a fan of the Lambics but this is exceptional. doubleo (1096), San Diego, California, USA Jun 8, 2008 On-tap at Naja’s. Pours hazy red/magenta with a thin pink head, semi-resilient, with specks of lace. Smells of tart raspberries. Tastes of sweet, tart, super concentrated raspberry flavors. Jolly Rancher raspberry flavor. Medium body, good carbonation that fades pretty quickly. gueuzeisgod (109), Graham, North Carolina, USA Jun 8, 2008 750ml bottle, pours a rich ruby almost amethyst red/purple- thin head leaves a bead of lace. Aroma is overwhelmingly raspberry- jolly rancher, but as I understand it there are no synthetic flavors added. They must have used very ripe fruit. Flavor is rich and raspberry, only enough sourness to balance it out, not nearly as sour as many traditional lambics. Mouthfeel is smooth and silky, mild carbonation does not prick the tongue. Finishes out with a bit of the standard lambic barrel flavors, I wish they were a little bit more present. Incredibly drinkable but I enjoyed the cassis just a bit better. REDBOSOX (70), Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, USA Jun 6, 2008 I LOVE this so-called beer. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it. It’s only 2.5% ABV so don’t try to get drunk off it. It’s a phenomenal dessert beer! I love raspberries and this beer is the best raspberry beer I’ve ever had. The flavor is perfect. The only reason why I can’t rate it at 100% perect is because I wish it was stronger. No beer has ever tasted better to me as far as I can remember. Allen (1287), Switzerland Jun 6, 2008 Bottled 25cl. It pours a beautiful dark amber with a reddish, slightly purple head. Incredible aroma of raspeberries. Sweet taste which is flawlessly balanced with modest sourness. Poor lacing. Spritzy. Rasperries dominating. Some oaky woodiness showing up in the finish. thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 5, 2008 Great desert beer. Very sweet on first sip but mellows out while on the palate. Great to just sip on or even better poured over ice cream or pound cake. joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA Jun 3, 2008 red pour wery sour and yeasty nice has a nice tart raspberry flavor best linenmans ive had phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 2, 2008 Pours a dark, vibrant red colour with a full white head. Awesome taste. Very sweet and tons of overwhelming raspberry flavors. Aroma is pleasent, freshly picked overripe raspberries and currents. Ingredients: "local barley, unmalted wheat and wild yeast...raspberries are added creading a secondary fermentation and yielding a beer of exceptional flavor and complexity."
