bottle at brewdog bar ... big pink ... thin white lacing ... sweet juicy raspberry nose ... sweet raspberry ... little tart raspberry not bad

Cyclamen-red beer, with a faint haze, and frothy pale pink foam, slowly disappearing. Fresh raspberry aroma with faint barnyard odours, lemony background; smells very Cantillon-like. Sharp, tart, but not overly sour lemony-fruity flavour. Raspberry is in the finish, backthroat. Bit of dry woodlining. Bit watery, thinnish, but of course very refreshing. Light acidburn. It is a very clean fruitbeer, but compared to the real Pajottenland frambozenlambics, it misses a lot of complexity, which probably explains the thinnish impression.

Bottle 375ml.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2012 Bottle at CPK shared with MadMitch, Scopey and Mes. Pours cloudy red with a light, filmy head. Very tart aroma, plenty of sour raspberries. Flavor too is very sour, slightly dirty, with rindy fruit and decent acidity. Medium in body with average to high carbonation. Lip-puckering tart finish, lightly sweet, touches of salt and citrus, as well as berries. Really, really good. (4.1)

At Borefts 2012, Bodegraven. Pours cloudy red with a fine, pink cream head. Very fresh tart raspberry nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with moderate juicy raspberry, some jammy fruit notes, light sourness. Light bodied with average to high carbonation. Cleansing finish with great tart raspberry character, some nice jammy berries. Great stuff. Utterly drinkable. (4.2)

Flaske: Duft af tyggegummi. Meget dominerende i starten, men heldigivs vinder den meget i glasset. Let lyserød øl med ekstrem dominans af eddike. Hindbærrene kan anes. Desværre er den mere belgisk end amerikansk i sit udtryk, så jeg savner lidt den lange pebrede eftersmag der kunne spille op til den sure sure hindbær.

[3/4/11] Bottle at ACBF 2011. Clear red color. Aroma of lots of barnyard and some berries. Sour flavor with barnyard, some citrus and some berries. Medium-bodied. Not enough raspberry but still very tasty.
