750ml, January 2010 vintage.

A: Pours a deep bubbly pink with a fizzy light pink head that quickly faded into nothingness.
S: Bright raspberry fruit juice notes mix well with underlying notes of damp musty earth, musty wood, and faint dry tannins and citrus acid.
T: Follows the nose with sweet raspberry nectar, wet soil after a rain, musty wood, and earthy basement funk. Dry oak tannins and raspberry skins balance the sweet juice, and the finish is full of biting citric acid, lemon, and slight cranberry. The finish is tart yet sweet and does not last long.
M: Medium-light body, fizzy active carbonation, drying mouth but not a desert, with a good acidic bite but not an intense mouthfeel puckering sourness. Drinks very well.
O: Not as intensely sour or bold as Lou Pepe, definitely more easy going. Not as pure fruit concentrate as Framboose. Somewhere right in the middle. One of the best examples of framboise on the market.

Poured from a 75 cl bottle into a Cantillon chalice. Bottled 2013.

Appearance: Poured a one-finger head. Quickly dissipates in thickness, though a thin layer of foam remains on top. Mostly clear ruby red. Moderate carbonation

Smell: Almost all raspberry. Slight funk. Sour notes.

Taste: Very straightforward. Raspberry carries over from the smell, though less sour than anticipated. Starts with the fruit, stays with the fruit. Mild bitterness in the finish. Compared to the Kriek, it is sweeter, but not by much.

Mouthfeel: Pleasant fizz, lighter, but not as light as other Lambics.

Overall: Very straight forward. It is a very good sour raspberry Lambic. Expect that and you will be very happy, as I was. Not that much complexity, but when what you have is this good, you don’t particularly need complexity.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Slightly hazy with a rose reddish color. Low retention on its pinky head.
Sour aroma with good raspberries notes.
Predominant fruity flavor with a nice tartness. Quite funky and not really sweet as other copy cats. Strong as expected on raspberries, with some lemon citrusy. Hints of oaks and earthy yeast with spicy notes. Yeasts going wild. Dry finish.
Light body with decent carbonation and a robust acid feeling.
For this one you got be ready, do your homework first, don’t jump straight to this level on sourness. Go smooth first and climb the ladder.
