Our seasonal beer to celebrate summer: lots of raspberries with a touch of rhubarb for the indulgence. A refreshing and regressive beer to be enjoyed in the sun.

Draught Thick pinkish head over pinkish tinted terra-cotta beer, very muddy. Strangely served a serious tad too cold. Delicate raspberry aroma and hints at lactic acid. Strawberry aroma too. Raspberry sauce with a creamy feel and even taste, lactic acid-laced raspberry jam. Little or no evidence of the rhubarb, strangely even not in the acidity. Chewy MF because of all the fruit, but not heavy at all. It appears utterly natural, obviously, but it misses a bit of the "wow"effect some similar beers show.

Pours unclear pinkamber. Small pinkwhite head. Scent is heavy fruitpuree. Raspberry on top, rhubarb more mild. Taste is sharp, dry, medium mild acidity. Natural, raw, tad green raspberry. Rhubarb embraces the tartness. Brings a certain earthyness as well. decent.

33cl can, BB 10/08/2021.
Couleur pourpre profond, col fin crémeux rosé.
Arôme est chargé de fruits dont des effluves de framboises rappelant un jus frais. La rhubarbe est assez discrète et le tout reste dominé par la framboise. Le côté grain est en appui en rétro.
Palais tout autant bien fruité. Retrouve le côté framboise dans son apport terreux, finement aigrelet, impression d'arbuste et souvenir des framboises dégustées fraîches sur le framboisier étant gamin. Le côté filandreux et acidulé de la rhubarbe accompagne le caractère de la framboise.
Une sour ale qui se suffit à elle-même - l'acidité des fruits étant déjà parfaite.

330 ml. can. Amazing colour pure raspberry puree, non-lasting darker pink head. Nose is all raspberry puree, raspberry pits, sweeter rhubarb & dash of lemon sour. Bit too sharp tasting with bit to much leaves but nice heavy raspberry more fermented with fermented rhubarb & spoiled lemon, bit odd in taste but overall quite fun.
