Red with purple shine; pink head nearly immediately gone. Typical nose with solvent, paintstripper, estery too, rather than fruity. Sweet-sour taste, with interesting connotations as tamarind pulp, sweet fruits, smokey. Rather refreshing mouthfeel. In the aftertaste a decent bitter-woodiness is traceable. All in all not bad - just a little more outspoken sour cherries would be more convincing, instead of interesting.

Light ruby red, cyclamen-pink huge head, slowly collapsing (on a lambic??). Undeterminate fruitgums nose, something out of an New Age soap/giftshop. Sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. There is a slight acidic tartness, like some unripe fruit. Fruit again prominent on the edge of natural-artificial flavour, but not specifically raspberry. Taste is however remarkably better than the nose. Retronasal wet-straw flavour. Mouthfeel is OK, slight tartness, and something cloying at the same time. Light bodied. The soap-fruity aroma keeps hanging around. For all that is better as feared, it is still a near insult to what a real raspbery-lambic can be. Oh well, the visitors of the soap-giftshop will like it.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark amber with brief creamy head. Pleasant fruity black cherry aroma. Sweet, clean and rather soft with lightly acidic finish. Refreshing, and surprisingly complex. Oddly this faro has the most character of any of the Mort Subite beers I've sampled.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Pale yellow and hazy with creamy head. Sweet yeasty nose with notes of black currant. Clran and light bodied, typical witbier flavour, but a bit thin as such, with an extra addition of lactic acid. Woody, short, sharp finish.

It has a red, quite bright colour. Infortunately I like treble colours for a Lambic-beer. it has a sweet cherry aroma. Damned, I bought a bottle without flavours. Perhaps are the sweet, sour, cherry sparkles remainders of the flavour. fortunately the thiefs of the flavours weren't up to the job and left some.

A very sweet raspberry aroma - a little too sweet for me. The color is a beutiful deep red with a nice pink head - though fast disappearing. The flavor is dominated by raspberry in the beginning, then it turns sweet, and then the sharpness from the wildfermentation hits you. A fine flavor, though it is a little too sweet and too raspberry and not sharp enough for my liking of a framboise.

A really beutiful beer with a clear red color and a beutiful light red head. The aroma is sharp and sour from the wild fermentation but also contains sweetness - a very strong aroma. The flavor is carbonated in the beginning with some sweetness, though in the beginning dominated by the wild fermented sharpness also containing some metallic notes. After this start the sweetness hits you mixed with some sharpness and ending with a little bitterness. The sweetness lingers on your lips.

Witte lambic holds the middle between a Belgian witbeer and a lambic, being a wheatbeer... It exists on draught only.Colour: pale-aleish. Thick white head. Nose of nutmeg, wheat, coriandre and some citrus. Taste is coriander, wheat, lactic acid and a lemony, perfumed flavour. Aftertaste is more lemonrind and coriander, the mouthfeel being prickly but not fizzy.

Golden-orange colour, slightly hazy. Little white head, relatively stable for a gueuze. Nose of solvent, (wet) wood, green apples, grapefruit. Fairly acidic taste, but really restricted to lactic acid. Extremely refreshing. Wheat notes. Fruity and estery, something exotic. Mouthfeel is refreshing and spritzy, but with some acidic throatburn - might there be some acetic acid-sub-tasting-treshold? Aftertaste consists of fruitacids and esters vying for dominance, without ever gaining, and then slowly receding. Probably still traceable in half an hour. Beautifully restrained gueuze - unbelievable it still exists next to the filtered and sweetened rubbish the public is supposed to like.

Rerate Oct 31, 2003: Pale rose colour, white head. Strong rasp-berry flavour. It is a nice rasp-berry soda.
Looks like a gueuze beer: brown, little treble. Fruity, sweet aroma. Dito flavour, though the original lambic flavour hasn't gone to waste.
