Blend of raspberries with two-year-old lambic - 300 g per litre.
Beer with very intense fruitiness. The natural tartness of the raspberries nicely complements the lambic’s slight acidity.
This beer will keep for a long time in a good cellar but we recommend to drink it within the year to enjoy the intensity of the fruit.
Color: ruby
Serving Temperature: 12 °C/54 °F

A: Tapped into a small goblet; red in color, hardly any head
S: Very fruity, identifiably raspberry, some malt
T: Highly acidic, sour and tart, delicious. This is an excellent lambic style beer that starts tart and fruity, goes to sour, and is dry in the finish. No sweetness in the profile at all.
M: Low carbonation, but this was probably the result of our pour coming from the last in the keg. It's quite persistent and refreshing. A lovely beer.
D: A highly drinkable beer, if you can find it. Great to share.
We had this beer at the bar in Binny's - South Loop, Chicago. As noted, it was the last of the keg, but it was still excellent.

Enjoyed this in Brussels. Love raspberry and the Lambic balance was excellent. The beer is relatively acidic to the mouth so be prepared. Love this as a desert .

750 ml corked and capped bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5%. Made with 300 g of raspberries per liter beer. Clear signal red colour, moderate pink head. Intense aroma of raspberries (no surprise). The flavour is very sour with notes of lemons and raspberries, fairly dry and crisp.
