Crisp, very slightly hazy amber and copper coloured body with a touch of off-white head, about a centimetre tall. Aroma of guess what - raspberries, sour lactic notes, hints of oak and dryness and a bit of light honey - very nice smelling. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt, yeast and fruit flavours dominate with a beefier body than I expected, but still a pleasant sweet raspberry flavour that shows some signs of sourness. Aftertaste has a light caramel, honey and apple taste, but the malt and raspberries again dominate. Overall, a rather one-dimensional beer, but some aspects of the yeast and dry flavours come out, but this is all about the raspberries sitting one layer on top of the malt. Still, I enjoyed this beer and wouldn’t mind trying the other flavours, should I ever find them! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Alexandria (Old Town), Virginia on 02-March-2014 for US$7,99 sampled at home in Washington on 06-February-2015.

Nice floral Belgian with good raspberry integration. Pours with a pink tint on the head, golden in colour otherwise. Light perfumy leave. A little watery on the palate. Bottle thanks to ajax25g at Epic Sour Tasting.

Overripe lemon and apricot nose. Hazy amber, thick lacy peach colored head. Thin, watery mouthfeel. Overripe lemon and stale raspberry flavor on a blanket of stale malt. Really not so great.
