Dark crimson colour with a jammy aroma. Taste has plenty of raspberry sweetness and a bit of sourness, though not enough. Non beer drinkers of my acquaintance enjoyed it immensely, comparing it to a British alcopop called Sweet and Sour Cherry Veba. This is probably not a comparison with which Brouwerij Lindemans will be particularly pleased.

aroma is really fruity sweet, but somewhat crisp. a dark reddish pink beer flavor was sweet, but has some acidity as well. just not a fruit beer guy though.

This is a very, very sweet lambic. It has only the barest hint of the sour aftertaste that I expect from a proper lambic. This is more like a juice box than a proper beer.

Thin pink head, cloudy dark pink, some lacing on the glass. Strong smell of raspberries with some hops. Taste of raspberries with some hops.

This beer was terrible to me but I am not a fruit beer type of guy the wife forced me to try it. It tastes like raspberry jam

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2012 25 cl bottle, pours red with a minor head, aroma of massive raspberries, taste is very sweet raspberries, acceptable in very limited amounts but gets cloying real fast.

shared bottle. deep burnt red pour with a 1 finger white head. huge fresh raspberry nose. this is all fruit - NO sourness, tartness or funk at all. I prefer the more authentic (Cantillon) lambic to this style. I don’t feel like I am smelling a beer. This is more like pie. medium body with a very sweet raspberry presence from front to back. light tartness on the finish, but the strong fruit notes dominate the palate. overall, way too sweet for me - it is like drinking a piece of candy...

OK, I am not a lambic person. Not really beer, but I had to try one (my first). Simply doesn’t belong.

strong raspberry (and cherry) aroma, with a deep red color, and a cherry colored head. it started fruity, and finished sour. with a fizzy palate. an interesting sample.
