Blond-amber colour. White head. Sweet-sour aroma, little (Girardin-)gueuze-like. Bitter, Palm-like flavour.

The aroma is sweet with slight sour notes. The color is a beutiful clear red and it has a light brown head, though fast disappearing. The flavor is rather sweet with a nice taste of the wooden cask. It is rather carbonized for a Framboise. It ends on a dry acidic notes combined with nice mellow notes of the wild fermentation: metal and sourness. A nice Framboise - though a little on the sweet side.

[Draft at Stockholm Beer Festival 2003] An orange beer with a bubbly disappearing head. The aroma is a sweet and sour lambic aroma. The flavor is nice: a little moldy "mug", sour, and sweet with notes of fruit and "nellikker". A good lambic

(White label, commercial) Deep red, slightly hazy. Very slight pinkish-white head. Sweet nose, artificial-cherry. Sweet, sweet cherries, like cherry-gums. Bweeuk! medium-bodied. Too sweet by any standard, too artifical. Girardin ought to correct this - this is for children.

(There exists young - under 1 year- and old lambic. The one tasted is young - just so) Clear amber-orange colour. Virtually no head. Nose of grapes, sulphury, lactic acid, sour apples, barnyard. Some sweetness left: grape-y, even sultana’s. Not dry - medium-bodied, like a sweet sherry. Fruity, sweet lambic with a nice balance, but quite uncharacteristic for the style.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark clear red. Aroma of black cherries. Fruity and intensely flavourful with balanced acidity. Though it is complex and very vinous, and the flavour of the cherries is just wonderful it takes a bit of the edge of the complexity of the unblended lambic, making it only slightly less superb.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Deep golden with some haze. Very fruity with notes of tart berries. Sour, but the acidity is beautifully balanced by the intense, complex flavours. There are notes of barnyard, dry white wine, wood and more. This beer is a wonderful experience. I can't think of any other beers which is bith this thirst quenching, and also super-complex and flavourful.

I wish I had read a couple of the previous ratings - especially the ones that told about exploding bottles. Well as it turns this might turn out to be my most expensive beer so far as it cost me a new keyboard - but that did not really bother me that much (old keyboard), it is much worse that most beer of the beer escaped before i could drink it... Well this is what I get from the 126.8 ml i had left: (Black label) Aroma has cobwebs and blue bheese in it (in a good way). Murky orange which looked a lot better in the glas than on my wall. Complex sour tastenotes: Mainly earthy notes topped of with a lactic fruityness (grapes,strawbeerries) the whole beer is wonderfully round and wellbalanced and I sit back with a sour aftertaste that slowly fades away and wish I have had more of this brew.

Pale red colour, rosy. No head. Nose of raspberry jam, and somewhere an aroma which you usually hang in your smallest chamber, after seeing it advertised on ITV by a skipping housewife. Taste : raspberry jam again; including slight acidity, fruit acids, fruit sugars and pectines! Very flat, some stickiness - from the pectine? Aftertaste is raspberry flavour again. Disappointing. Could be so much more, with just a bit more lambic character (and somewhat less... perfume, let's call it)

This is one of the best Krieks i’ve had. Not too sweet, definitely oak-conditioned. Complex, well balanced. Very good kriek!
