Bottle pour at WBF 2025, pours a hazy amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is full of succulent raspberries, barnyard funk, and leather. Flavour has juicy raspberries, gentle funk, and a touch of leather. Juicy, light tartly raspberries in the finish. Excellent.

Bottle pour at Warsaw Beer Festival 2025. Pours hazy orange-gold with a white head. Musty mildew, old wood, and some fermented raspberries on the nose. Flavour has mildew, fermented raspberries, damp old wood; fairly tart. Fantastic.

One of the fruit lambics already released by this tiny and very new producer: the classic framboise. Snow white, tiny-bubbled, medium sized, breaking head over a hazy orange blonde, almost amberish robe with salmon-pink tinge. Aroma of raspberry vinegar and raspberry bushes more than bursting ripe raspberries though the small white ones do spring to mind, unripe orange, stewed red onion, old wood, sweat, tomato purée, pickled peaches, lemon rind. Sour onset, but a tad less puckering than expected perhaps (compared with other non-industrial framboises I had in the past), loaded with sour raspberries straight from the bush, tomato-ish as usual when used in beer, flanked by impressions of lemon, rhubarb and green apple, with the overall sourness drying quite strongly. Moderate carb for the style, dry-vinous mouthfeel, bread-crusty core under lots of lactic and berry sourness - with the different acids remaining relatively well in balance, at least if you can take a certain degree of sourness; woody and raspberry seed tannins accentuate the dryness and add a bit of astringency, and unfortunately the raspberries seem just a bit short in strength to counter this drying wryness - only adding more wryness, almost raspberry vinegar-like. In all, this one made a better impression on me than on my predecessors below it seems - I found it quite balanced and quite generous, a bit what I was expecting from a new lambic producer dabbling with this genre (which is not the easiest fruit lambic substyle to get absolutely right, mind you). Promising - even inviting to keep following this Odilon project.

375ml bottle @ The Night of the Great Thirst lambic festival, Itterbeek. Pours a cloudy, reddish orange amber with a modest loose white head. Light raspberry touch on the nose with gentle acetic promises. Tastes a little thin on the palate, a touch metallic, mildly acidic, moderately tart with some sharp moments.. not a particularly well rounded fruity Framboise on first impression, but eventually opens up a little to finish quite pleasant with a soft fruity undercurrent.

Pours a cloudy peachy orange. Small white , lasting foam. Scent is raw, dms almost ( in a lambic ??? Must be something else surely) . Mild on the funk, not very recognizable as lambic or raspberry. Taste is sharp, bit acetic, citric acid, dry and sharp, unripe raspberries. High acidity but little aroma and less funk. Not at all meeting the hopes i had for this one, but i'm curious to see how they will evolve with newer vintages and other beers.
