750ml. Probably my favorite raspberry lambic, this beer really balances tartness and fruit such that one can actually enjoy a glass from start to finish without deadening the palate from sticky sweetness. The colour is hazy pink/red with a lightly tinted pink head. Fresh raspberries are the central aroma with just a touch of creamy pastry undertones. The beer is sour but, again, delicately balanced with fruit. Perfect for an outdoor summer day.

0.375 l bottle(edit 2005): Slightly red amber colour with a thin off-white head; strong fruity (raspberry syrup) sweetish and a bit sourish nose with a tinge of caramel; sweet fruity flavour, accompanied bvy some acidity; short, sourish, a bit sweet and fruity finish with some "woody" undertones. Not too sweet, but a bit too artificial......The good sour-ale qualities are a bit destroyed by a too distinctive artificial flavour !

Dark bloody red color with small reddish head. Strong rasberry aroma. Sourish, carbonated mouthfeel, fruity flavor of fresh rasberries. Some acidity in the aftertaste. Style is propably more fruit beer than FSA. Looking forward corked vintage version of this.

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark ruby with an average size diminishing pinkish-beige head. Aroma of fresh raspberries along with some yeast and a mild sourness. Nice tart raspberry flavour, not cloying at all. Medium bodied. A simple take on the style, more of a Fruit beer then a Flemish, but still a pretty good beer.
