Thanks to Irishboy for the sample. i really really enjoyed this one. it was tart at the beginning for half a second, and then you tasted the full aroma of rasberries with a twist of sweetness, but not over doing it. loved it!

A great dessert wine oh beer with a clear copper fizzy 2 finger head with lacing.Sweet perfumy floral razzberries no hints of alcohol. Spritzy carbonation, crisp delicate dryish average length finish.Sweetness...

Bottle. Poured clear dark reddish color with an average frothy reddish off-white head that mostly lasting with fair lacing. Good tart raspberry & sour aroma. Medium body with tingly sticky texture and soft carbonation. Moderate tart fruity flavor with a solid tart fruit finish of moderate duration.

Served in a tulip glass. Tasted like a mix between prosecco and raspberry cheesecake, with a hint of tart thrown in.

Fruity yet quite tart...tastes of perfectly ripened raspberries..definitely one of my top choices

On draft, pours a red color with light pink foam, aromas of overly sweet raspberries. Flavor is just that with raspberry syrup added to it.

pours clear, raisin red, decent cream head. fresh and green, fruity raspberries on the nose. syrup sweetness, raspberry, esters and then a fair amount of sour tartness on the finish. fairly straightforward Lambic.

Poured into a tulip. Bottled on 100526, so May 26th, 2010 I presume. 4.0 A: Plum color. Three fingers of frothy pink head. Retention is good with plenty of lacing left behind. 3.5 S: Immense raspberry aroma, but it is too sweet to come off as natural. Rather, the raspberry takes on a synthetic, artificial vibe like in the liquid centered hard candies. Far below that there is a mild mustiness and a very subtle tartness. Still, it smells good. 4.0 T: Like the peche, the taste is about as sweet as it gets without getting cloying/annoying. Again, raspberry liquid filled hard candy with watermelon flavored lollipops. Mild mustiness. Very, very light tartness. 4.5 M: Lighter body. Good amounts of super spritzy carbonation. Incredibly smooth. 4.0 D: I have a reduced respect for backsweetened fruit lambics, but I think they are generally really tasty. They remind me of sparkling grape juice that I loved drinking during Thanksgiving as a kid (still love it). Anyway, this hits the head as a raspberry soda type drink with a touch of real lambic character. Infinitely quaffable. Disclaimer: I rate backsweetened lambics to the style of sparkling fruit juice, not actual lambics. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-12-2011 18:17:53

On tap at Hopcat, pours a clear light red with a soapy pink head, the aroma was light with raspberry, the flavor has a nice tart front end with a finish of raspberry, pretty straight forward Lambic, not bad.
