Still have yet to drink a whole bottle of this, the only times trying this was in very small quantities, most recently a swig from the bottle at same party. So again I can’t speak much to the aroma or appearance. Unlike the Cassis which I found enjoyable in its tartness and patchy/velvety texture, this comes off as overly sweet for me, as though some raspberry syrup was added at the end instead of actual raspberries. The base lambic is completely masked at this point.

From bottle into chalice pours smooth, crimson and hazy capped with a pink-hued head. Aroma and flavor is boldly laden with raspberries, tartness and very little astringency. Medium mouthfeel with palate-tickling bubbles. Overall a solid framboise appropriate for those who prefer tart, sweet and fruity flavors...even my wife (not a beer enthusiast) loves this one.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2009 Tap. This beer was my introduction to lambic/fruit styled beers. Fully enjoy this beer. At the present i have a better appreciation for good lambics/sours/gueuze and therefore push this rating down little but worth trying even though this is a little too sweet. Not as good after having good lambics

I enjoy how these brews come with a combination of both a bottle cap and a cork not sure why that is though, and the beer gets bounce point for plenty of beer smoke when I finally got the cork out mmmm mmmm mmmm I love the beer smoke. Body appears dark rich red with slight hints of brown the crown is a pinkish brown and lasted a very long time. raspberry aroma and nothing but raspberry and its diffently tart. Full rich raspberry flavor with a perfect balance of sweet and sour. Mouth feel is so very thick and smooth. Dam this is like eating pure raspberry puree. I love Lindeman’s their stuff is freakin great but I do prefer the Kreik better.

Thanks to Nate for sharing. Red pour with fluffy red head and minimal lace, which is surprising b/c how large the head was. Raspberry jam flavor and aroma.. Overly sweet, but a bunch of lemon juice helped it a little

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2012 Rerate on 06/01/2012. Deep red purple color, lots of carbonation. Purple head. The aroma is raspberries, plain and simple. The flavor is like carbonated raspberry juice. Thick in body, sticky mouthfeel. Not really refreshing. But not bad.

Clear magenta with a light rose head featuring plenty of rising bubbles. Beautiful to look at, beautiful to smell. Sour, red fruits, sugar all in the aroma. Tastes the same--primarily of tart raspberries. This beer is meant to be a sweet/sour tasting of raspberries and it does it superbly.

bottle. Pours a lovely, dark red with a pink-magenta head which dissipated quickly. Nose is of raspberry juice. Taste is like drinking raspberry jam. Mouthfeel is cloyingly sweet and sticky.

Dark red pour with a red-tinged head. Raspberry aroma hits you during the pour. Notes of sourness comes up at you also. You taste the sourness, then the sweetness. The sweetness lingers awhile, then leaves you a nice creamy mouthfeel. Having only a few fruit beers, this is the best so far. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass.

Dark pink-red pour. Strong raspberry and fruit aroma. Very sweet flavor, more like a juice than a beer. The raspberries dominate any malt or yeast flavors.
