| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 31, 2008 12oz bottle, 2005 Vintage, Cellared @ 60* F for duration, very raspberry smell and taste, not very acidic surprisingly this was very enjoyable due to my stomach not knotting after 3 sips, Taste is key here, I’m glad to have another bottle downstairs. yalnikim (782), Wellington, New Zealand
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 24, 2008 Tasted 20/08/2008. 375ml bottle from Beerstore. Like the gorgeous Kriek from the same brewery but the raspberries are more aromatic and spritely on the nose and subtler in the mouth. Base brown ale sneaks through a little more, a nice balance of sweet and sour "balsamic" acidity and slightly toasty malt sweetness. I like a lot, and so does Fritha (she’s having a gerat run!).

Pours a hazy, ruby-amber color; light pink head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Tons of fresh, pitty raspberries and lightly toasted malts in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lively carbonation; chewy, pitty raspberries and cherries, toasty malts, touches of vanilla, and just tons of red fruits; very soft edges and exceptionally drinkable. Medium finish: pitty red fruits and toasty malts; nicely dry.
