One of Dok's 'smoothie' fruit beer creations, a Florida Weisse of sorts with raspberries; at Welkom (Dok's cosy café in the Patershol quarter of Ghent). Thick and frothy, egg-white, quite stable head, hazy deep peach blonde robe with salmon-pinkish tinge. Aroma of very obvious red raspberries in the most 'real' and honest way imaginable, pan-fried cherry tomatoes (actually just the raspberries again), canned tomato cubes (dito), raw cucumber, white yoghurt, kefir, rhubarb, sourdough, wood sorrel, green apple, touch of Thai basil. Crisp onset, immediately fully focused on the raspberries, enveloping the tongue with their unmistakable flavour, while side effects of cucumber, Coeur de Boeuf tomato and rhubarb join in; medium carb, smooth mouthfeel. Slick wheaty core gently soured by yoghurty lactic acidity, but the wheat's natural sourishness itself blends in and so does the tartness of the berries - but somehow this latter element has been kept relatively mild, so that each of these components gets its place without completely overpowering one another. Tomato-like raspberry flavours linger - why is it that I always, and literally always, get tomato-like associations in any kind of raspberry beer (including 'framboise' lambic)? Remains gently but consistently and dryingly sour, but also remains exceptionally fresh and pure. Not my personal preference in beer style but within that style, very genuine and convincing, with the sourness in perfect shape, not attacking mouth, throat and stomach alike, but refreshing - which is why I should have been drinking this on their outdoors café in summer instead of inside on a gloomy November night.

Reddish pink colour, creamy foam. Nose of raspberries, fruity and sweet. Taste is tart, fruity, lots of raspberries, a bit thin maybe.

Draught Layered pink head, slowly reverting to terra-cotta/red beer. Fresh, if modest real raspberry aromas. Also lactic, both - acid as diary. Lots of muesli-like grains underneath, fresh raspberries; not exclusively sour, some maltsugars. Light acidburn and -thinning, good carbonation, refreshing. Simply nice.
