Tried on tap a while back. An O.K. rasp lambic. Somewhat thin in flavor. Also there seemed to be a disconnect between the malt and fruit. They taste distinct from one another in this brew seeming to somehow compete, not collaborate.

Dark ruby amber w/a lasting just off white head. Raspberry and wet horses, and also a little catty! Perfect! There is also a noticeable sourness in the nose when chilled, but fades to a slight malty aroma as it warms. Raspberry, lightly tart and lactic, but not overly sour; malt and hop balance the tartness and co exist very well together, and has a horsey flavor as well as in the aroma from the bacterial yeast used. Lighter bodied and highly carbonated with an acidic bite on the tongue, but smooth otherwise. I don't generally like lambics, however, as lambics go, this is a very good representation of the style. In my experience they are a little more sour, but this is a great version from one of our local micros.

draft, Belgian fest, Buckeye Brewing 12-13-03. Raspberry stays for a short second, then gets somewhat tart, no sourness. On the watery side. Alcfron and I sampled this at the same time and of course we discussed it. I give Garin credit for attempting such a project.

Deep red body, mostly clear. Raspberry up front - just for a second, then it's all about the tartness. Finished very dry, lots of tannins (grape peel), with a lingering "wildness" at the back of my throat. The only two shortcomings of this were it was thin and missing the sourness of better lambics. Garin's apparently got a lot of this - it'll be interesting to see how it develops with more aging.
