Nov 3, 2004 Bottled, wired cork. Dark amber coloured with vague pinkish head. Sharp raspberry flavour, tart but synthetic. A leafy mould then shows though which swiftly moves downhill. Some vanilla on the finish.

Oct 28, 2004 Caged and corked Bottle Pours a clear redish copper color with just a wisp of a white head and the slightest hint of lacing. Aroma is of tart raspberries. Delicious actually. cant wait to taste it......should have quiit while I was ahead. Flavor is not so much raspberry but bitter, dry woody flavors as well. Tastes more like a raspbery "fizzie" was dropped into a beer that needed some help. Dissapointing. Carbonation is quite soft and the aftertaste is like cardboard.

Oct 21, 2004 Taste like a raspberry beer...not bad at all. Wife, who only drinks the bud lights of the world, enjoyed the beer more than I did.
Will use this beer to introduce her to other beers.

Oct 8, 2004 Off red colour. Pours a big white head with small tight bubbles. Quite soft, lovely lacing, almost perfume like in aroma, quite tart with a woody raspberry flavour.

Sep 4, 2004 Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy peach/pink with a large off-white head that left very thick lacing though faded fast. Saaz-like aroma with strong rasberries and some very faint caramel malts. Undertones of garden-bed herbaceousness. Tart, subtle rasberry dominates the flavour. Not much else apart from some barely noticable malts, but probably doesn’t need anything. Slightly tart, silky, and quite nice in the mouth, although a little watery. Quite nice versatile beer.

Red, good steady head, lots of lace. Rasberry nose, strong aroma. Sweet and a bit sour rasberry flavor. A bit sour aftertaste.

Jul 4, 2004 Updated: Sep 2, 2004Not bad at all. There must have been a crappy batch out or a bunch of folks who had never had a lambic before to have it have been rated so poorly. POurs a nice mirky amber toffee color. Nose is excellent notes of cherries, balsamic vinegar, leather, nectarines and even a hint of milk chocolate...ha you say it was in there all right. On the tongue the palate is excellent. Not cloyingly sweet but sticky nonetheless. Notes of hazelnut, cherries, raspberiies, and horse blanket...ever so lightly. Excellently sour on the forefrton refreshingly sweet on the back end. A good offering.
