Very fine fruit beer. Aroma of raspberry, but with a bit of Cherry and vanilla in there, too. Quite sweet but with an acceptable hint of balsamic vinegar. Not had this for a while and its better than expected.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Vintage 1991 at 5,1% ABV. Dark reddish beer with a nice, full slightly pinkisk head. The raspberries are very evident although pretty much balanced by the sour base beer. You don’t completely avoid been left with a sugarish feel in the mouth. Then pour a "Goudenband" and be jolly. 130194

Re-rate, bottle, 4/08 Smoky ruby, frothy light tan head. Nose is cork at first, dry wood, fruit pits & skin, raspberries, woody tartness, a hint of jam at the end. Flavor is way sweeter than the nose suggests. Corky & very rapsberry, a nice tartness balances. lingering sweet fruit. Much better in bottle than on tap. Original rating 6/3/6/3/13/3.1 On tap at Pizza Plant. Big raspberry soda nose. A bit sweet for me, fresh raspberries, oak. Finish is drier than I expected.

Bottle. A deep red colour, with an uncomplicated raspberry aroma with a hint of acidity as the fruit fades. Almost sherbety finish but not as sweet as the kriek. The slight acidity isnt enough to prevent the build up of a sweet syrupy taste in the mouth.

A very pleasant aroma of raspberries - not too strong and not fake smelling. A nice blend of sweet and sour. Perfect for a hot summer night - crisp and refreshing.

Pours a very dark rich red color, very clear with a pink head that sits tall. Very sweet raspberry aroma already giving you the impression of the tartness to follow. This beer pours very thick, the carbonation wasn’t very high so it didn’t help out with the massively syrupy body. Upfront the raspberry gives a massive sweetness kicking ass on the palate until the dry tart finish. Only a light sourness came through in the finish. This is a nice brew but really does a number on the palate.
