Lots of deep raspberry aroma. A little on the sweet side without sour. Needs more sour to balance the sweet. Needs more carbonation.

Murky red-brown. Thin, frothy light brown head. Very sweet raspberry syrup aroma w/ a slight oakiness. Light, spritzy, champagne-like feel. Sweet & tart fresh raspberry flavour w/ decent tannic acidity.

Murky pink-brown. Big & welcoming aroma of fresh raspberries. Flavour strikes a perfect balance between sweet and sour, with a ripe, fresh fruit character and a nice hint of earthy malt to hold it together. Unlike many fruit beers, it's refreshing without being cloying. Well done!

375 ml bottle, 2001. Murky orange-pink-brown, little head. Very thick-looking. Really nice fresh raspberry-vanilla aroma, subdued but delicious. On the tongue, very well-balanced, sour enough to keep from cloying but juicy with fresh ripe fruit, and a nice herbal leafy quality. Excellent full mouthfeel, refreshing yet palpable and demanding attention. Like the Kriek, not the most complex of beers, but this is just a little more drinkable and fresh-tasting. A delight.

I don’t know what more I can say except this was a raspberry soda pop. Not too sour. Pink color and nothing much else. I tried to really feel it, but it wasn’t happening.

For some reason I can never seem to remember to put in my rating for this beer. Draft. Pours a murky, rather unappealing brown with little head. Aroma is pure raspberry with a hint of syrup and sour funk. Quite sweet in nature, but a wonderfully refreshing pure raspberry flavor, no artificial notes present. Something complex and vaguely Belgian is also lurking underneath here. A good, fun beer, couldn't recommend it more with chocolate deserts.

12 oz corked and caged: gloomy purple/maroon. Thick seedless raspberry flesh with a background musty tartness. Finish is wonderfully sweet and leaves a fruity stickiness throughout the mouth. Aroma contains the leftover raspberry seeds, and a damp earthy bitterness. In the mood for some tart fruit, then enjoy. . .

Low head, brown with a little bit of red. A little acidity in the aroma, but the overall impression is raspberrys, raspberrys and more raspberrys.
