Very well balanced and good all around. Pours ruby red with good pink head and lacing. Light notes of lambic bretta with a good dose of raspberry. Well blended, and sweetness tempered well with bretta. Tap at RFD.
This is fantastic. Pours a deep ruby red. Aromas Are big strawberry and raspberry jam. Awesome. Flavors are raspberry jam. Pureed raspberries and strawberry everything. I thought this was great.
On tap at the Mayor of Oldtown. Appearance: finger of red head that does not persist, blood red color, clear, no real lacing. Aroma: raspberry, light yeastiness. Palate: light body, sparkling carbonation and texture. Taste: cloying sweetness after a while, but starts off slightly tart with heavy sweetness. Overall, the sweetness of this one got to me more than other lambics, a little too cloying for me.
Pours a ruby red. Aroma and taste are sweet with raspberries. Taste is a bit too sugary.
On tap at Mr Dunderbaks. Deep red pink-white head. Raspberry lightly tart. Fairly sweet. Just a little jammy. 6.8
On tap at Global Beer Collection, Delray Beach, pours a beautiful red raspberry color with a beautiful wispy raspberry colored head.nose is sweet raspberry , plain and simple. Taste is sweet and fruity, and quite refreshing. Finishes sweetly and on the same fruity raspberry notes. Nice lambic.
Quaff Score 7 / 10 RATED AS A LAMBIC
375ml bottle (2011 vintage) pours murky red brown with a finger of pink head. Nose is super sweet fruity berry syrup, not much else. Taste is tart berry jam and sugary syrup. Finish is sweet fruit juice and a little tart. Way over-sweetend and artifical tasting. Didn’t finish.
Draft to taster. Looks good; a transparent cherry red with pink head that steadily dissipates into lacing. Smells solid; fresh raspberries. Tastes like it smells with a nice, lively mouthfeel. Nice, light, and recreshing.
Bottle from Asahiya. Very fresh funk, berries. Dark reddish/brown color, little head. Berries and grapes in the initial / slightly tannic, with hits to the upper palate and sinuses / finishes with similar smooth sweet berries. Thin-medium body, and a bit astringent. Taste is refreshing. A little beer that punches above its weight.
Bottle.. Pours deep red with pink head, lots of yeast(?). Raspberry aroma, sweet and thick, thats it. Taste is lots of sugar, then raspberry, than sugar again. Medium body, medium carbonation, no bitterness. Strange mouthfeel of artificial sugaring.
Tap: deep, ruby red color with a slightly pink/purple tint all around; same goes for the head, somewhat lavender in hue; big, chunky, but quick to recede. Aroma has notes of raspberry juice & raspberry jam; mostly sweet & just barely tart. Smells good, but it’s definitely a one-trick pony. Taste has a nice sourness up front that fades into a mid-palate & back-end sweetness. Raspberry juice, light jam, & perhaps a touch of grape & cherry notes, too. Not quite vinous & almost no present funk. It works as a very nice fruit beer, but isn’t what I want in a true "lambic"... So I’m torn.
Horeca 13
Pours dark pink small white head
Smells like superintence raspberrys
Taste is dry , sugary , overripe raspberrys . You know what ? I actualy like this . In contradiction to my enthousiasm of this brewerie
On tap, poured cranberry red with a little white hat for head. sweet aroma of raspberries. Tastes like a tart carbonated cranberry raspberry punch. Sweet as can be and tart as I’ll get out. But those are what make a great limbic for me. Excellent drink.
Sampled at Tuscanora Mills in Leesburg. Deep red color with a pinkish head. Raspberry aromas with tart and slightly sour flavors. Not bad at all
Shared with wife at Gainesville HOB. Pours deep red with pink head. Huge sweet raspberry aroma. Flavor is super sweet and tart raspberries and sugar. Something slightly weird on the back end like sweet-n-low flavor. Not bad. Wife liked it.
Strawberry and sour grape aroma is wonderful. Deep red with a creamy tan foam. Medium body. Good mouthfeel is full and refreshing. Strawberry and other red fruits fill the palate and the finish. Not overly sour as some others. Very nice.
Bottle. Hazy dark red color with a thin reddish head. Sweet and sour aroma of berries. Sweet taste with slightly sour finish.
Nice aroma of raspberries, some astringency kicking through as well. Taste syrupy, you can still feel raspberries, sourness, almost no malt nor hops. Aftertaste long and dry, a bit like wine. I guess this kind of lambic’s would be the first choice of those people who usually prefer wine or cider over beer. I like it.
On draft at the Blue Monkey. What else can I say that hasn’t all ready been said. Big rasberry flavor, a tad bit syrupy body, taste like the candy Jolly Rancher. Nice tangy finish. I like it.
01.07.2013, tap @ Rattle ’n Hum:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is sweet fruity, raspberry syrup, raspberry candy, hints of grass and caramel. Taste is sweet, sugar, sour concentrated raspberry juice, citrusy sourness. As a sweet sour-ish treat, this is really nice. As sour, it’s not.
Can you call this still a beer? It’s more like shandy but less tasteful and with fruity raspberry flavor. Its an ok low alcoholic beverage.
fresh raspberry flavor the brew is a bit like a weakened slick syrup with an added taste of cherry and perhaps a dash of lemon for some citrus tartness. frothy carbonation with a touch of effervenscence and a hot reddish and pinkish color.
Draft at 1k beers house. 2010 vintage. Reddish color. Sweet aroma of raspberries, cherry. Medium to heavy sweetness. Medium light tartness. I thought it was pretty good. Not my favorite style but I could drink one or two occasionally.
33cl bottle in Bruges. Beautiful pink/red color. Tastes of fruit: raspberries and cherries, with a touch of tartness. Sweet, but well balanced.
Excellent brew. One of my favorite beers on earth is New Glarus’ Raspberry Tart, and while most other fruit beers fall far short of it, this one is only a notch or two down from that. This one has a much richer and sweeter style, but there’s still a good dose of balancing tartness.
pour is blood red with pink hues and a dark pink head. Nose is overly sweet and singular, loads of raspberry purée and raspberry syrup. Taste is just that with maybe a touch of tartness. Decent carbonation and syrupy feel.
This beer is for serious sweet beer drinkers. Raspberries, cherries, sugar, cough syrup.
Great flavor. It is a syrupy jelly juice flavor- raspberry. Great red-pink color. Nice soft pink head and legs. It is a concentrated syrupy flavor but not too funky, just not natural, but overall great. I like the immediate sour and sweet end
Bottle at the Copenhagen Beer Celebration Tune-Up, London. Pours clear ruby with a fine, pink film. Bit of bright raspberry in the nose. Medium to big sweet flavor with jammy raspberry and light tartness. Light in body with fizzy carbonation. Sweet, lightly sticky finish with tons of sugary, tart raspberry. Sweet, but there’s enough tartness to offset it a bit.
On tap at Flying Saucer on 7/20/2012. Pours a dark ruby red with a small pink head. Aroma is is all raspberries. Taste is very sweet with raspberries with a tart aftertaste.
