Formerly brewed at Mort Subite (Alken-Maes / Scottish & Newcastle)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Kobbegem, Belgium

[keg 10-15 years old] An unclear red beer with a beutiful long lasting and lacing light brown head. The aroma is lovely sweet fruity with notes of raspberries and hints of sourness. The flavor is sour and sweet with notes of fruit and raspberries. The sweetness is the dominating flavor since it is not very sour. An extremely great beer - one of a kind.

(Bottle 25 cl) Pretty, pale reddish colour, small head. Pronounced raspberry nose. Very raspberry flavour with a discreet sweetness on an underlying tart base. Nicely balanced between the sweet and the sour. Lovely Framboise considering this was never really my favourite style. 170598

From tap at Plan B, 22 year old keg. Pours cloudy dark orange with a fully gone head. Wooden and dry raspberry aroma. Smooth, tart and nice raspberry fruity. Very elegant and easy flavoured. Light acidic touch and nice fruity base flavour. Shivering tartness. Lasting fruity raspberry impression. Sublime! Stunning!

1989 version, sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Clear red with creamy pink head. Sweet balsamic fresh raspberry aroma. Acidic, but with initial fruit sweetness and really tart finish. Wonderfully balanced and flavourful.
