I get that this beer is not to my taste, and maybe someone who loves a lambic would feel differently, but I had to give it a try since Ommegang makes such great beer.

A: pink/orange/red-brown beer with a faintly pink head that starts off a finger thick and settles into a line - interesting, but not what I want to see in an ale.

S: fruity

T: ick: tart, sour, bitter raspberry and cherry

M: hard to evaluate the mouthfeel since I didn't like the taste, but it was lightly carbonated and left a sour aftertaste - like I washed down plain yogurt with orange juice.

O: not a repeater - pretty much confirms that I do not like fruity beers, sour beers, tart beers, or lambics. One of a very beers that I actually did not finish - emptied my glass and the bottle into the sink. Sorry, but this one was a stinker for me.

draft at Granville Moore, DC

a: served in a GM logo glass, tall chalice, raspberry red in color - not shockingly so - this still looks like beer, with a slight yeasty milkiness, head low

s: nose of tart raspberry, clean pils malts, generally fruity, aged hops, and a nice balance of mild brett funk

m: carbonation moderate-high, lively, light bodied and crisp

t: a clean pils malt base holds a modest but obvious flavor of fresh raspberry, nicely tart with a slightly sweet edge quickly spirited away, papery hop flavors, nice brett flavor that's only lightly funky, and adds a nice clean sour

o: enjoyed this beer but the fruity side could wear after awhile, all told an interesting, well-crafted beer

Serving type: on-tap
