| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 19, 2007 The aroma has raspberries, yeast, and funky yeast. The appearance is red/brown with a foamy head. The flavor is fruity and slightly sour and not as tart as many Flemish Sour ales. It’s mostly sweet. The palate is smooth but thin. Overall a good beer. kramer (2465), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 16, 2007 25 oz bottle, Well’s Discount liquors. Pours a clear bright ruby red body under a fizzy tight bubbled off-white head with a slight pinkish tinge. Moderate visible carbonation. The aroma is full of sweet and tangy fresh raspberries with a slight hint of vinegar. A little chocolate accent. The flavor is tart and sweet with a nice raspberry fore. Finishes with a slight vinegar and sugary sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slight sweet cloying stickiness on the finish. Nice pleasant soft carbonation. This was just as good in quality as the Kriek, but I found it to be a little more sticky and cloying. Probably just a personal preference thing, as I find the same situation with the New Glarus brews. norsedoc (162), USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 15, 2007 Very pleasant beer. Not as sour or tart as Lindeman’s. Brown in color with a little fruit sweetness. xenthem0nk (101), Oregon, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2007 Bottle with paper wrapper, and purple label underneath. Pours, reddish brown, really clear, hardly any head. Nose is overripe rasberries, and malt. Flavor is like a rasberry soda, only less sweet, and more alchohol. Loved it, but not as much as Lindys. cyrenaica (440), Milton, Ontario, Canada
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 7, 2007 I had this at the ’Beer Bistro’ restaurant in Toronto on June 21, 2007. My particular beer was a Liefmans Frambozenbier, 375ml, 4.5% abv, and wrapped in a paper wrapper. This poured a beautiful maroon colour right out of the bottle with a beautiful raspberry aroma. The mouthfeel was crisp with some carbonation on the tongue. The beer started with a malty flavour with a lot of rasberry in it and finished with a crisp taste with a hint of raspberry. A truly wonderful experience for a fruit beer. gunnfryd (3590), Kristiansand, Norway

Not much cellar though. Slightly tart, citric and sweet mouthfeel. Acidic berry-finish. Nice one. (070512)
