ChainGangGuy (1602), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Sep 8, 2008 Appearance: Slightly hazy, ruby-red body with an inch of lasting, pervasive off-white foam.
Smell: Sour-scented aroma of raspberries mainly, with a few hints of earthy and musty wood.
Taste: A jolt of sour-tart raspberry puree with only a very minor sweetness. Faint, faroff, dusty malt character. One drop of almond milk. More pings of sugar. A touch medicinal at times, but nothing to make a face over. Though bits of sweetness do come and go throughout it still finishes decidedly sour.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-high, lively carbonation.
Drinkability: A decent enough and competent enough fruit lambic, at least on draft. While it isn’t quite as exquisite as the Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen, I cheerfully finished my glass at the Brick Store Pub. kkearn (689), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 4, 2008 375mL bottle, from Summer Secret Santa (Thanks!). Pours brownish red, with a thin white head. Aroma is mildly tart, with raspberry and other berries. Flavor is a bit sweeter that the aroma let on. Raspberries provide some acidity, and linger for a long finish. Not bad, but not incredibly impressive. durhambeer (535), Durham, USA Aug 16, 2008 Bottle thanks to gueuze_is_god. Lovely pink/garnet pour with thin white head. Tart raspberry aroma with some lactic notes. Hints of raspberry seeds and a little must. Tingly on the palate. Tasty. tdaglow (13), USA Aug 15, 2008 Transparent pink pour. Sweat and sour aroma of rasberry jam and the flavor backed it up. moelikebeer (140), New Brighton, Minnesota, USA Aug 12, 2008 Bottle. Clear, dark pink pour. Sweet, soft aroma of raspberries similar to raspberry yogurt. Similar flavor with much more tartness as well as some earthy notes.
