it’s almost a fruity rose, when drunk cold. Wonderful realfruit flavour, which they use! Use it’s in dressings, sabayon’s and so on. It’s made with geuze but it’s well balanced in the sweet and sour tasting, and it has a very long aftertaste

Raspberry lambic at its finest.Once deported by All-Saints in Minnesota, now deported by Noble Union in Texas. I was happy to see this brew in the liquor store again.Not even New Glarus can touch this.

Corked bottle. Big fresh rasperry jelly aroma. Beautiful cloudy darker purple ruby color. Taste is raspberry explosion. Average carbonation. Nice for the sweet at heart. Barnyard manure flavors in an old aged barn barrel of crushed raspberries. Perfect sweet finsh, just plain lovely.

Appearance: Ruby red with a small red/pink head. Nice color, wished for more head. THICK raspberry smell. Now, you either like the smell of raspberries or you don't- I love the smell- especially here, where it doesn't smell like some sort of cheap extract, but instead FRESH fruit. Wonderful- though it's very unbeerlike in taste. Drinkable as hell- but one at a time- too much might be too sweet & give a stomache ache.

Wow. smell is excellent. fruity, juicy plums, pears and raspberries. Sweet. The best of the chapeau pseudo-sours.

Lovely raspberry bouquet. very big aroma. Purple/red with a pinky thick pink head. Delicious sweet raspberry with a touch of oak and nice creaminess. I think it tastes fantastic though I can see why some would find it much too sweet. I think the acidity in the finish balances that well enough.

Though despised by my local purveyor of fine Belgians (24th St. in SF) as commercial swill, this lambic delivered an amazing experience one summer day in hot southern Oregon. There was a ’cheese’ on the cork and explosive aroma with extraordinary effervescence that bubbled raspberry all over the tongue -- tangy and sweet. It’s cloudy and rust-edged color and flocking were evidence of bottle fermentation. I wish I had written down the date of drinking and the date of bottling! This was an amazing lambic I returned to several times with varying degrees of success.
