Bottled (1986 vintage)@Belgobaren, Stockholm (old backlog from about 2010). Red colour with a small pinkish head. Aroma is acidic wooden and fruity notes along with some slight sourness and raspberries. Flavour is acidic berries, some mild tart and sourness as well as mild wooden notes. A bit too acidic for my taste, but that’s always a risk when buying oldies...

Re-rate 10/24/13: Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentin. Thanks Pallieter85. 1983 bottle. Murky red with a tiny bit of foam. Pleasant raspberry aroma with some cork and some wood. Sour flavor with light sweetish notes, lots of raspberries, oak, a bit of cork, musty notes and some funk. Light to medium-bodied. Very nice. Still a lot of raspberries after 30 years. 8/3/8/3/16=3.8

[3/3/11] Bottle at Bier Circus in Brussels. 1993 vintage. Surprisingly almost clear red-amber with a slightly pinkish white head. Lovely aroma full of raspberries, lactic notes and some funk. A rather sweet flavor with raspberry, a bit of sugar and some slightly funky sourness. Silky mouthfeel. A lovely sweeter Framboise. 7/3/8/4/15=3.7

Labeled as Vander Linden Frambozenbier/ Bière À La Framboise. Menu states 1994, label stamped best before Dec. 2000. Served straight from cellar. The cork comes out with a loud pop. Pours a clear amber color with a slight pinkish hue, and a medium sized sticky-icky head that never fully fades. Aroma is musky and lightly cork-y raspberry, I was surprised how much raspberry flavor is actually left. Taste is similar with more of a earthy-raspberry flavor and a slightly strong "corkiness" which may just be barrel. A nice light sweetness offsets the cork. A very velvety mouthfeel, which hides the carbonation on my tongue. Coats the tongue a little without interfering with the drink-ability of this beer. I got a bit of liqueur-ish feel from this beer. As the beer breathes the raspberry comes out more, especially the sour characteristics of the berry. No way does this beer feel over a decade old.
375mL bottle @ Le Bier Circus, 3 Fonteinen traditional lambic tumbler.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Comes as "Vander Linden Frambozenbier/ Bière À La Framboise". Pours a beautiful red with a tall, slightly pink head that leaves some lacework as it dissipates. A very traditional and hence sour framboise, but with quite some residual sweetness from the fruit. A weak tang of cork in the aftertaste. 180200

Leicht süßer Geruch. Minimal süßer Antrunk, dann leicht säuerlich (stärker werdend). Auch die Fruchtigkeit wird nach und nach stärker, insgesamt ist es aber ein mildes Bier. Süßer Mittelteil, was die Fruchtigkeit unterstützt. Im Nachgeschmack würziger, etwas saurer werdend, etwas bitter. Test vom 30.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,11,11,11,12,11
