12oz bottle. Pours a hazy, medium ruby-pink color; thin, light pink head with solid lacing. Funky, webby aroma showing tart raspberries and horseblanket; reasonably funky with a slightly syrupy fruit character underneath. The mouthfeel is significantly sweeter than the aroma suggests: lots of raspberry and strawberry juice, some tart citrus showing through, some funk and a bit of breadiness / sugary warmth; a bit fizzy. Medium finish, showing raspberry juice and funk and zesty citrus.

Clear, dark amber body with a medium-sized white head with a slight pink tint. Sour raspberry nose with cotton candy, light horseblanket and pineapple. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly sour with lots of raspberries, cheese, melon and citrus rind. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Finiish is long and tart with a pithy bitterness.

Bottle. Vintage 2003. Clear red-brown colour with lots of yeast at the bottom of the bottle and a small white bubbly head. Nice Fruity and mouldy bit sweet bit tart aroma. Good mouthfeel. Soft mild sweet raspberry flavour with a nice comfortable tartness with a touch of mould. Good, bit thin fruit lambiek.

335 ml bottle. BBE 04.06.2011. Sour raspberry aroma. Ruby mahogany color with some coarse pinkish head. Near medium body with sweet and sour raspberry flavors. Tart and sweet. Almost like a dairy product in flavor. Finishes dry and fruity, with a little sour that goes on. Interesting stuff.

Poured fizzy with plenty of carbonation. Real raspberry flavors, intense, not too acidic, well balanced, nice yeast.

Thanks to Ramenen. Bottle: Great fruity , sweet aroma. Body a wine like with a nice astringent cleansing. Refreshing.

Red amber, big head, lots of carbonation. Lots of (overly) ripe rasberrys. Some acidity but always balanced up with lots of sugary sweetness. Some tartness. Not as good as the kriek from Boon.

Bottle. Poured reddish brown, with some dark black yeast. The best thing about this beer was its aroma--very sweet with raspberry, reminded me of a Lindemann’s Framboise. The flavor was less good, sort of watery and raspberry. Slight tartness. Overall, an ok lambic but certainly not my favorite.
