750 ml bottle. Red body with light red head. Aroma has raspberries. Flavour has some sourness and somehow I get a little raisin sweetness.

0,25 L-es üveges kiszerelés. Mély bordó színű, szépen átlátszó test, rózsaszín habbal. Finom málnás illat, mely gyermekkorunk kedvelt málnafagyijára emlékeztet. Édes málna íz egy kis pomelo-val és egy kis fás ízzel a háttérben. Igazi frissítő sör, mindenkinek érdemes megkóstolni!

355ml bottle. Pours clear ruby red with a thin pink head. The aroma is dominated by raspberries with a wild yeast undertone. Tastes very sweet like raspberry juice with a sour twang that is felt in the jaw and a dry bitterness that follows.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear dark purple to deep ruby red with a thin pinkish head. A very strong intense raspberry aroma hits the nose when pouring this. Maybe slightly overdone with some hints of artificial raspberries, but actually pretty good. Flavor is quite well balanced between a sour start with some sweetness towards a more sweet finish with a hint of bitterness. Very fruity all the way through with the raspberries dominating and some wild yeasts at the background. Decent fruit beer.

UPDATED: APR 15, 2010 Bottle. A - Deep red that is a light rose toward the top. The head is average sized with a pink hued white head and good lacing. S - Lots of raspberry with it being mostly sweet smelling with a light tartness. T - Sweet and tart raspberry, with sweet being more prominent. Reminds me of liquid candy, maybe a Jolly Rancher, where you get a touch a mouth-watering tartness but underlying sweetness. M - Medium body that is syrupy/sticky. D - Well the flavors don’t really offend and are nice, but not really something I would drink multiples of in a night, or at least in a row. Notes: This is, like others from Lindemans, a sweet lambic. It’s not bad and not really going to offend someone unless they don’t really like raspberries or candy. Not really my drink of choice but it fills a niche.

Bottle. Red with a quite thick pink head. Fresh, natural and clean raspberry aroma. Slightly sour. Sweet and simple but with a refreshing raspberry taste, extremely easy to drink.

On tap at the Yard House. This is a really interesting beer, can it even be qualified as beer? This is because it tastes like raspberry juice, not a bad thing at all though, because the hops come through in the end. Served in a goblet, a reddish color, with a bit of lacing at the top. Very tasty, even smells like raspberries. Conflict of interest here though: Do you want something unique and delicious? Or do you want something that tastes like actual beer? Personally, I think it is a great brew.

bottle sampled at the first chicagoland sour tasting... pours a dark raspberry pour with a huge light pink head... smells like sweet raspberry juice... flavors unsurprisingly was much of the same. sugar water alcopop with raspberry notes.

Agree with some of the previous reviews - it is hard to drink this and think of it as a beer (tastes more like champagne). Still, can’t argue with a nice aroma of fruit, with a matching taste. I buy these for the wife, although they are a bit pricey!

Pours reddish purple with a pink head. Aroma is of raspberries. Just raspberries. Taste is of raspberries. If you like raspberries this is for you. I like raspberries but I also like alcohol and this beer has just a little bit more alcohol than water. Tastes and smells great.
