This beer has the typical raspberry aroma: it is very strong, without getting artificial or annoying. The flavour is very sweet, but you just don’t care of the lack of sweetness or sourness. I would not drink this beer on its own, but this combines very well with desserts.

Pours a deep amber/light purple with some pink hints and a nice logn lasting white frothy head. Aroma is pure fresh raspberries and sweet. Flavor is also a bit sweet up front with lots of tart raspberries but finishes with a fair amount of sourness which is nice that it isnt too acidic. Nice lively carbonation, and a good mouthfeel.

Nice reddish color with a small pinkish head. The aroma is nice with a good note of raspberries. Taste isn’t bad either, on par with other fruit beers I’ve had.

Nice color, light red. The aroma is nice with nice rasberrry touch, Fruity and a bit tart, and a little acidic taste, but a little too sweet or my taste.

Dark reddish brown with a light violet bubbly foam. Fresh natural aroma of raspberries, lingonberries and wet grass. Well-balanced flavour of rasåberries, linginberries and wood. Fruity and a bit tart aftertaste of lingonberries and grass. Quite good "framboise".

Bottle. Pours a dark red w/ fizzy white head. Lots of tiny bubbles. Nose is fruity and light, hints of raspberries. Taste is sour and full of raspberries. Leaves a light film on the palate.

Bottled vintage 2003. Burgundy colour. Small head. Refreshing raspberry aroma with underlying barnyard notes. Somewhat tart raspberry flavour. Not as sourish as other lambics. Some raisin sweetnes in the backgrond.

Bottle: Aroma is mostly of tart raspberries with just a touch of sweetness. Slight vinegar presence is also in the aroma. Pours a slightly hazy orangish-red with a minimal white head that is pretty much just a ring with a few bubble in the middle. Flavor is moslty sweet raspberry. Only a hint of tartness in the finish and aftertaste. A very light watery vinegar flavor hides in the background. A lambic that falls in line with soda-like lambics rather than the funky sour lambics. It is good and I like it, but not what your looking for if you want a hardcore lambic.
