[1] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/8/2008 11:26:28 AM)
"Poured almost headless; odd for a Belgian, I think, as so often they simply explode out of the bottle. The body was somewhat orangey in hue. Aroma was quite something else, being seriously raspberry. Tasted like raspberry too, but of little else. Mouthfeel leaned to the thin side, but finish was nice. A good dessert beer, but surely not a session beer. "

"This beer pours a ruby red colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malt, raspberries, and a little floral hop scent. The flavour is primarily sour raspberries with a bitter finish and aftertaste."

[3] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (11/20/2007 12:55:51 PM)
"375ml bottle
4.5% ABV
I tried this beer on November 15, 2007 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. The beer poured a nice red into the glass with a huge frothy white head that did not want to go away. The aroma was heavy on the raspberry. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and heavily carbonated............but not quite champagne-like. The flavour was that of a small amount of hops combined with a lot of raspberries. "

"Pinkish orange with a subdued pink-tinted head. laces well...aromas of sweetness and berries. Big carbonation sweet and sour tastes over berries and a light musty dry finish...really like a fruit spritzer...the ladies like it, I don;t care for it."

[5] Review by biegaman from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/2/2006 10:41:47 PM)
"Opened with a loud !POP! and poured a nice pinkinsh red up to the light, impresive head. Has a beautiful undercoating of that (anyone whose had a lambic knows)distinct lambic scent and mouthfeel. I'm not detecting much raspberry in the nose, but still quite pleasent. A full mouthfeel - this much like any lambic - quite different from other beer styles.Flavour is nice but doesnt seem fully developed. I sense some absence of raspeberries and no overly defining quality of being sweet or tart, etc. All in all an easy to enjoy drink. Regardless of where this ranks among lambics (fruit or otherwise) it sits well with me for what it is - a pleasant example of a great style. "
