Oct 14, 2007 375ml Botle. Pours a dark red/ light brown body with nice head, lots of lacing left on the glass. Aroma is of light barnyeard, sourness, and beeries. Flavor is slightly sour with a nice raspberry touch, light yeast and some barnyard. Very smooth, enjoyable and different then what I expected.

Oct 13, 2007 (bottle) Pours a muddy brown with a small off white head. Aroma has a hint of raspberry, and slight brown sugar. Taste was not too sour, quite sweet actually with a little raspberry and brown sugar.

Oct 12, 2007 12oz (???) bottle bought last Sept in Belgium, wife never drank it so it’s fair game now. Pours a deep blood red with fizzy dirty pink foam that has decent retention and lacing. Aroma is a lot of oak with a very nice not-too-sweet raspberry note to it. Flavor relatively sweet, but never really cloying, so much more going on than sugar, very nice maltiness, spot on tartness, the raspberry really is almost second fiddle to everything else going on. Mouthfeel is absolutely awesome considering it’s only 4.5%abv.

Oct 9, 2007 Bottle Vintage 2004: Pours a nice ruby color with an initially thick tan colored head that completely vanishes. Raspberry puree nose, with light yogurt/lactic notes and with a swirl a touch of farmhouse funk. Light fluffy body. Not at all syrupy or thick. Not very sour in the flavor. Has a slight tartness from the raspberry character, but doesn’t have a full-scale fruit or sour character. Has blackberry hints along with cork flavors as well. Overall it easy going, and has decent character for 4.5% ABV. I think I’m just spoiled from raspberry beers from brewers like New Glarus.

Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. Aroma is strong / sweet raspberry, taste is much the same. Nice tartness but vinegary also. Refreshing.

Oct 6, 2007 [Bottle] pours cloudy amber with a small cream head. Aroma is very sweet with raspberries coming through a little. A little tart in the taste, but really not as sour as I thought it would be. Medium mouthfeel. Average finish. Ok, but not too great.

Oct 2, 2007 Cherry red with a hissing head of suds. Appetisingly acidic aroma of full fruit juiciness, lambic dankness and...pickled gherkin? Definitely a sqeeze of vinegar to balance the sweetness. Spritzy and sweet-sour with parting touch of bitterness and a Custard Cream vanilla-malty aftertaste. Tasty, well-balanced refreshment.

Oct 1, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of raspberry juice: both sweet and tart. Some oak with an underlying sourness. Pours cloudy brown with ruby highlights. Flavor of raspberry liqueur at first, the becoming refreshingly sour and tart. Nice dry oakiness on the finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A slight disappointment after the original and the cherry.
