thehipone (197), Australia Feb 6, 2005 All right, but I’m not sure how authentic of a lambic this is. Smells of raspberries and slight non-descript sweet-syrupy notes. Distinct light red-amber-gold color topped by a fizzy white head. Medium-high carbonation. Starts out with a light whack of sugary sweet flavors and raspberries and finishes with a very light tart-sour finish. A nice light, refreshing after-dinner beverage, nothing too challenging. scotty (828), Scotland Jan 25, 2005 Quite a unique gold/pink colour, with a good head. Aroma is clean, fresh, and while not immediately raspberry like, it is fruity and very appealing. Palate is light,with refreshing zesty, fruity, and cleansing flavours. This is a classic lambic, with all the clean refreshing character that these beers exhibit. Lovely! highlandlad (1258), Sydney, Australia Jan 18, 2005 Could almost use this as a sorbet before serving dessert. Light sherbety nose. Creamola Foam. Fruity, zesty. Light in body, with sweet/sour fruity notes. Really gets the saliva flowing. Too sweet for my taste but it could pass for dessert in a liquid lunch. (Bottle) IslandHaole (1035), Onna-Son, Okinawa-Ken, Japan Jan 12, 2005 A dark Orange/Ruby color with a slight haze and an off-white head. Sweet berry with some wood & a slight tart scent. Very syrupy sweet up front with a bit of oakiness in the middle and just a hint of lambic tartness in the follow. As in their Kriek offering, this is fairly tasty but too sweet. DrnkMcDermott (1832), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Jan 10, 2005 Bottled. Pours odd pink-brown. Decently sour lambic taste, but still kind of sweet. Picks up a little cork. Kind of ordinary and syrupy. sayravai (3720), Helsinki, Finland Dec 12, 2004 Updated: Aug 5, 2006(Bottled) Clear amber color (filtered) with a large, lacy and quite lasting head. Slightly sweet, a bit artificial raspberry aroma with slight sour and ashy hints. Sweet, slightly oaky-ashy and acidic, straightforward raspberry flavor. Light to medium-bodied, a bit dull, fizzy-carbonated palate. A decent, sweet dessert (or beginners’) lambic, but can’t compete with Lindemans’ Kriek as one. JonMoore (1561), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England Nov 19, 2004 Updated: Jan 9, 2005Bottle. Dark copper/amber colour with a large, slightly pink head. Aroma is tart raspberries. Taste is less raspberry and more, well, like beer. Still dominated by the fruit but also some light bitterness, a bit of wood and a light sour finish. Nice mouthfeel. I quite like this. PetetheMeat (546), Hove, Denmark Nov 19, 2004 Orange, slightly pink, with off white lasting head. Rasberry aroma. Sour flavour with more rasberry and some vanilla (oak).
