Bottle at home, picked this up from Dranken Geers, near Gent, Belgium 03-03-08 Syrupy raspberry notes also a faintly plastic smell, quite strange but in no way did I find this off-putting. The colour was brown with hints of red and an off white head sitting atop. Fruity sweet and sourness and some syrupy sweetness are there but the raspberries bounce through and make this a very drinkable beer, sort of reminds me of a raspberry meringue.

listed as liefmans frambrozen at the tasting, i think this is the right beer amazing raspberry aroma, very surprised it didnt come through as much in the taste (good). highly carbonated and acidic, but a little too sweet for my liking

2004 cork date. Hazy copper color with a tan head. A strong raspberry jam aroma overpowers all others. Light carbonation with a smooth mouthfeel. taste is first raspberry then a mildly tart, dry wheat flavor with wood to finish. Heavy on the sweet flavors. 3267

On tap at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore during Belgian fest. Got this one for the girlfriend but it was surprisingly balanced. Looks, tastes and smells like raspberries. Slight malt offsets the sweet fruit flavor. Finish keeps the fruity flavor in the mouth. More balanced than other lambics you might have had.

Brown with a bit of ruby. Small off white head. Juicy sour raspberry aroma. Same flavor with some tartness and a subtle toasty malt background. Finishes dry. Foamy yet soft medium body. Decent.
