Pours a lovely deep red with a small creamy pink head. Powerful deep aroma of raspberries, rather sweet - but very ’fruity’ - not artificial. Kinda lively mouthfeel. Flavour is sweetish with a light tartness to it. Like the aroma, it feels very fresh-fruit-ish. It is okay, but is seriously sweet for a lambic. kidmartinek (972), austin, Texas, USA Feb 11, 2008 Pours plum red with a medium pink foam head. Smells like red wine, taste like raspberry fruit drink with sprite. It tastes good but didn’t strike me a being a beer. lampeno420 (321), Zeeland, Michigan, USA Feb 9, 2008 Updated: Feb 16, 2008Very strong scent right away with a deep red pour. The flavor was almost a raspberry sherbet, very sweet and tart. Maybe i just dont know lambic’s very well, but it could have used some alcohol content to thicken it up a bit. Still very nice and refreshing. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 7, 2008 Bottle from Canals. Red pour with thin head. Fruity rasberry tarty aroma. Flavor was cherry and not as tart as I thought it would be. A little too sweet for me but not that bad. JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium Feb 6, 2008 Updated: Apr 30, 2008Bottled, sampled most recently alongside some chocolate cake. Pre-cake, this dark ruby beer with pink head comes across as slightly too sweet despite a nice, full berry flavor and nose. Soda-pop-like bubbling. After a bite of the sweeter cake, the beer becomes a bit more moderate. Maybe a more bitter, dark chocolate cake for this next time. But I can’t see drinking this beer on its own... my tastes don’t run quite this sweet. Update: Pairing this with some homemade cheesecake brought out the best fruity tartness in this beer. Mike4686 (120), Bayonne, New Jersey, USA Feb 5, 2008 I bought this beer for my introduction to the lambic style and i’m enjoying it, its got great carbonation and sweet raspberry flavor, it sits in my glass reminding me of black cherry soda in appearance, taste is quite similiar but with smaller bubbles, i like it. decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Feb 5, 2008 A very tart aroma of fruity raspberry. Slightly hazed orange pour. Very tart berry flavor that rolls to a pretty nice sweet. All round solid mouthfeel. Very pleasant beverage, I wish it was a tad higher on the abv.
