Jan 1, 2008 75cl bottle from Trader Joes. Red with a big pink head; looks classy in a flute. Aroma is in your face raspberries with a nice tartness. The flavor is tons of sweet raspberry with a refreshing tartness that cleans up the finish enough to keep it from being cloying. It all feels a little forced and artificial like fruit juice with some alcohol, but it works all the same. Cracked this on the new year, and it was a hit with everyone who tried it; I’m thinking that it gives champagne a run for its money.

Jan 1, 2008 Deep red. Pours with a small fizzy head. Looks, smells and tastes like raspberry syrup. smell is very strong though the taste is not quite as overtly sweet as expected. A good, cheap lambic. Fun stuff.

Dec 31, 2007 Definitely red with pink foamy head. Aroma is deliciously raspberry, like some handcrafted soda with odd funky tart notes. Taste is same, but perhaps a bit cloying, not unlike sweet-tarts. My only complaint is that in their effort to make a fruity beer, they have forgotten to put enough beer into the product.

Dec 29, 2007 My first Lambic. Nifty 12 oz. bottle, capped and corked (neato!). Pours clear rosy red with champagne-like pink head. Huge nose of sweet raspberries with a touch of tartness. Raspberry and cherry flavors at the beginning. The whole taste is definitely different. Sweet and tart battle to command your taste buds. The sweet seems forced, like it was added to mask the true flavor of the drink. Highly acidic. Tartness wins out in the ending, proving that "evil always wins because good is dumb." Finish is tart, bordering on a true sour flavor that lingers heavily at the back of your throat. Very dry. Mouthfeel is thin, but viscous (huh?), keeping a nice silky texture as you swallow. Big carb. Seeing how I have no basis for comparison, this is pretty good. Definitely an interesting flavor, and a style that I plan on exploring further.
