Pours red/copper with a wispy pink head. Aroma is strong of raspberry, slightly tart, and is sugary sweet. Flavor is sweet berries(raspberry is the main player) sugary sweet, and some tart berry. Body is a bit thin with plenty of carbonation It’s alright, I wish the sugar was toned down a bit.

Sampled from a 12.7 oz green bottle this beer poured a bright red color with a medium sized pink head. The aroma was tart raspberry. The flavor is very tart and bitter raspberry with a light sweet middle and a tarty and tangy finish. Tasty.

Bottle: Nose of a little sour horseblanket followed by the raspberries; Strawberry red with a small pink head; flavor was tart at the start, turning to sweet raspberries.

Very sweet raspberry aroma. Deep red colour, small pink head. The flavour is quite sweet with a hint of acidity. OK frambozen, but with a hint of aspartam in aftertaste.

A deep red beer with a pink head. The aroma is sweet with notes of almonds and raspberries. The flavor is sweet with a slight acidic touch, and lots of raspberries. Too sweet for me to really enjoy it.

Bottle. Strong sweet raspberry aroma with light musty barnyard as well. Dark cherry red color with small head. Strong sweet-tart raspberry flavor - mild lambic mustiness. A sweet ’lambic’ - not traditional - very similar to Lindemans.

Bottle, best before 1/2006, had at Sunset Grille on 10/20/2005. Well I was honestly excited to see a new bottled lambic in my area, but it turns out the hoped for lambic is really just another "lambic". So disapointing, makes me not even want to write a review. Just another unspontaneous fruit beer. How much lambic is actually in this? 5%?? Maybe? Wow. Pours a muddy-caramel-beige color, huge pinkish-yellow head is lasting. Smells of dry, root-like vegetables in the background with some sharp, almost acidic notes. But it’s dominated by sweet, thick, cloying raspberries. Well they don’t cloy in the aroma, but once you get in to the flavor, ack. Heavy raspberry fruit flavor, with more or less zero lambic quality. Some dirty yeastiness is about all I got. But at least it wasnt horribly offensive like Chapeau or Cherish, but it’s just so sad that these pretend to be lambics. Thick, sweet raspberries cloy by the end of the bottle, syrupy, fairly substantial texture. Way too sweet. Oh well, another dream shattered (not really).

(Bottle 25 cl) While sweetened, commercialized gueuzes can often be a pleasant experience. That is much more rarely the case with the sweetened, commercial gueuze-based fruit-beers. Nice pale red colour, very sweet, very fruity and fresh to some extent. Nice aperitif before it sickens you. 040993

Bright red, slightly hazy body with a frothy pink head. Super strong/sweet raspberry aroma with some sugars and malt noticeable. Super-sweet raspberry taste, a little sour, but overwhelmed with sweetness. Aftertaste still sweet and somewhat tart. An unbalanced lambic, more sweet than sour, but still a great beer! I had this beer on draught at Chez Antoinette in Washington, D.C. on 05-March-2004.
