Update: Re-rate @ RBBSG II.
Reddish brown colour, small white head. Aroma of fruit, cherry, raisins and raspberry pips and old framboise. Brilliant sour flavour, champagne, raspberry, raspberry pips, fresh and fruity. Sour and fruity finish.
If anything, it even gained strenght compared to 4 years ago when I last had it. Good beer and aging well.

Old rating:
Unfortunately this marvelous beer has not been brewed for a while, but the brewer told he was thinking of making it again With some friends we shared a bottle at the 3 fonteinen restaurant. It is a shiny deep red brew with a pretty pinkish head. It has a delightful, fresh fruit aroma, with champagne and some honey. The taste is beautiful fruit, nice acidity and tartness, reminding of champagne and red wine.
