Bottle. Ruby body with a reddish brown head. Aroma is heavy raspberry with a pleasant sourness and a faint metallic touch. Medium bodied. Lots of raspberry in flavour that ends up bit sour and tart.

Bottle, maybe from belgianbeergal? Pours a very murky reddish brown color with floaties everywhere! Very small white head. Aroma has lots of raspberries, cherry lifesavers, light malt and yeast tones. Flavor is sweet and has lots of raspberry flavor, but it isn’t syrupy sweet. There is some tartness and clean refreshing beer flavor as well. Nice beer. Fun and easy.

I had this on tap at Lucky Baldwin’s Belgian Fest. This was a 1999 cask 10 years old. Wow. Tasty. Lots of raspberry flavor with nice background tartness.

Bottled 375ml. Appearance: It pours a beautiful ruby beer with a small fizzy pinkish head. No lacework. Aroma: Very pleasant and inviting. Fresh. Vinegar, raspberries, crackers and wood showing up. Flavor and palate: Raspberries, wood, vinegar, blue cheese and crackers appearing. Rather sweet with a decent acidity. Nicely balanced. Dry finish with reminiscent raspberries which makes you eager to drink more. Overall impression: Very good. Deeply refreshing.

Sampled from a 12 oz green corked bottle this beer poured a black cherry color with a huge light pink head. Well carbonated - you can hear the foam crackling like rice crispies. The aroma was a lovely tart and sour cherry and raspberry mix. The flavor was tart and sour with an intense raspberry element and a tangy, yeasty middle followed by a long tart berry finish. Intense yet strangely subtle. Outstanding.

Bomber, pours red-amber with a large head. Carbonation is pearly and audible. Aroma features a big, fresh raspberry scent. Primary flavor is a slightly under-ripe raspberry with a refreshingly tart finish. Overall, this lambic comes together with a very accessible initial flavor, and it lingers on a perfect off-sweet note that makes you want to come back for another sip.

Cloudy with a deep red amber color and an average head. It smells of raspberries. Taste is sour raspberries but slightly week. I was expecting more from the flavor.

Thanks biggcb. Pours a deep clear mauve with a slightly reddish head. Some floating chunks dislodged from the side of the bottle. Enticing aroma of fresh raspberries. Flavor is more of the same, plus a sweet vanilla element. Nicely fruity, slightly tart, not really sour. Noticeably thin bodied, despite the fizziness; the palate felt like it was missing something.
