Cloudy red colour, with small pinkish head. Fresh raspberries dominate the aroma, whereas the acid comes second. Flavourwise, acid is most prominent, with earth and raspberries coming after. It’s dry and tart, with a fresh raspberry feel to it. Good sparkling, with surprisingly mellow mouthfeel. frylock (1024), Buffalo, New York, USA

Great aroma that is full of raspberries, dusty earthiness and barnyard notes. Nicely balanced sourness. Bright raspberry flavors with just a touch of sweetness and faint oak flavors. Excellent. swoopjones (1897), Buffalo, New York, USA

Funky, musty aroma with light raspberry fruitiness thrown in. Taste was berry tartness, light funk, juice, acidic, right amount of sourness. Very well done KAggie97 (2427), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA

Pours an average muddy, iced tea brown with a nose of body odor and cedar. Flavor is sour cedar-infused fruit with wooden planks in the finish. Average mouthfeel. Refreshing beer.

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jun 7, 2009 [Bottle] from ygtbsm94. Thanks Brad!! Pours a clear deep pink with a small, effervescent pink head. I can smell raspberry jam from about two feet away, and undeniable sharpness that hints at the tart lactic acidity. As it warms, the brett character becomes evident as well. The flavor is absolutely amazing. Loads of juicy raspberries, crazy acidity and tartness, just enough funk, and a touch of dry oakiness. Crazy, crazy delicious, and one that I can see aging really well. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

LOVED IT! Cloudy, dirty red with a pink tinged head. Big raspberry nose, acidic, musty woodiness, some citrusy (lime?) notes. Funky raspberry flavors, tart, cherry finally makes an appearance, woody... just a whole lot going on here! Absolutely delish! Rciesla (3600), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Cherry pit, and skins. Very low acidity with a light woodiness, fresh tart raspberries and delicious sour fruit character. I love this beer! probstk (1027), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 20, 2009 750 ml bottle from Bieropholie, shared by Ben (thanks), served cold in a goblet. AP24/09.
App.: Cloudy, very reddish-amber, remnants of an off-white head.
Aroma: A good dose of barnyard funk, light ammonia, light rubber, some nice juicy raspberry and raspberry bush, white pepper, plenty of organic acids, sour cherries, leathery, raspberry seeds.
Palate: Medium-ish body, fairly sparse effervescence, a bit astringent.
Flav.: Lots of tart raspberries, some cherry, quite a bit fruitier than the nose; minerals and funky organic acids, barnyard and leather, bitter green herbs, quite sour and bitter with light funk and mineral-fruit.
A great fruit Lambik I’m sure. Slowly getting used to the style...
