A small bottle purchased from Beautiful Beers, for which many thanks, drunk at Dad’s place while home on holiday. Aroma: very powerful on opening the bottle, it doesn’t smell exactly like raspberries, more like cheap raspberry-flavoured cake or chocolate, but it’s definitely not unpleasant. Appearance: semi-opaque Ribena; flat. Palate: light-bodied and tart, unexpectedly lively carbonation; the finish is dry and tangy. Taste: Heavily sweet, the raspberry flavour is definitely there, a hit of sherbet. I think the lambic character might be overpowered by the sweetness, good work though at 2.5% ABV.
