This is a nice, dryish, tart lambic with some good flavour and it’s much more interesting and flavourful than their thin, bland kriek. It’s dark red, bubly, with a medium, faintly pinkish head that steadily shrinks to a thin top. The aroma is fruit, mostly raspberry but a little vague, bread, and a hint of iron. The taste is mostly tartness with a very light sourness, light yeassty quality, and light berry flavour. It’s tingly and rather dry with everything being a bit mild. It doesn’t have a strong tart berry flaovur or as much of a lambic quality as I was expecting but it’s still quite good and very crisp and refreshing.

Aroma is a bit funky, berry. Ruby color with nice light lacing. Flavor is sour raspberries, yeast, tart. Great desert lambic.

a decent framboise...like an inbetween beer from lindamans and lou peppe......a sweeter interpratatioin of the style but suprisingly not cloying....or at lest not as cloying as lindamans...good rasberry flavor..but I wish it had more funk baby!

375ml bottle from Delhaize. Deep pink colour with a slightly flecked head. Aroma of raspberries with some tartness. Dry flavour with some more fruit and a vaguely tart finish. All a bit subdued.

Bottled. Looks like raisins in a blender, with a tiny white head. Sour aroma with raspberry and strawberry, some sweet watermelon there as well. Taste bery "berryish" with a grapefruit finish.

375ml bottle (BelgianShop)
Rich deep pinky orange. Sharp but fruity raspberry aroma. Rich tart lambic body, crisp and sharp against a soft mellow light grain backdrop. Could easily be sourer and still very drinkable.

Bottle (2005): Poured a murky red with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet raspberry. Taste is somewhat sour raspberry, not overwhelming but leaves a nice berry on the tongue.

Pours red/amber with fast fading head. Reaks of raspberries and syrup. Mouthfeel is sweet and dry, more like a cider. I actually tried this next to a non-alcoholic cider and it was pretty close with the expception of less sweetness and the dryness. The wife really enjoyed this one and I was surprised by how much I liked it. A nice balance of sweet and dry.
