Framboise sour bomb of 9 or more years' vintage. Great.

July 2018: Shared 750 ml bottle, bottled in 2012. ABV is 6.0%. Pink to red colour, hazy. Small off-white head. Aroma of oxidised and over-ripe raspberries, notes of oak. Probably over the top. The flavour is much better than the aroma, notes of raspberries, brettanomyces and oak, quite sour.

Pours a cloudy, deep ruby red coloration with a huge, frothy head that disappears immediately. Smells of light wheaty malt and a fresh, tart raspberry aroma, with hints of balsamic vinegar and musty oak as well. Taste is a good balance of light wheaty malt and and quite vibrant and expressive tart raspberries and cherries, which add to the already considerate acidity here, with some rather subtle, earthy funk and more pronounced musty oak and tannins, as well as just a hint of balsamic vinegar. Finishes with a strong acidity and some raspberry, oak and vinegar lingering in the aftertaste. Effervescent mouthfeel with a medium body and medium/strong carbonation.
Quite a fruity lambic, with the raspberries and hints of cherry really standing out rather brightly here, as well as a strong, mouth-puckering acidity that is just a little too much for my personal taste, actually. At the same time, the funk could be more pronounced, seemingly struggling to overcome that strong acidity here, although there are some rather pronounced wooden, musty oak notes to this add a bit more depth and complexity along with some tannins and balsamic vinegar. Overall, this makes for a very fruity lambic with quite a strong acidity and musty oak notes, that is a bit light on the funk and way too sour and vinegary for my personal taste.

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, 2017 vintage, with a best before date of July 2040. Poured into a De Cam stemmed glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy amber orange colour with a one finger beige head that dissipated fairly quickly but left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Tart, jammy, raspberry, oak, lemon zest, with slight notes of funk.
Taste: Lightly sour, tart, jammy, raspberry, rhubarb, lemon zest, oak, light funk.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: The aroma was good with nice fruity raspberry, but taste while still good, the amount of fruit didn’t quite match the aroma. Carbonation was also on the borderline too high for my palate, and sometimes a bit uncomfortable.

Bottle from Etre.
Lightly hazy brick red with hints of purple and a huge pink tinged head that dissipates almost instantly. Earthy musty funk with plenty of tartness and huge sour berries in the aroma and flavor. That is fantastic!

I tried to store this bottle horizontally and pour with a basket so as not to disturb the sediment, but it seems to be pretty consistently disbursed throughout, appearing hazy brick red with a short head that fizzles out audibly and quickly.
This is by far the funkiest framboise I've ever had, where its lambic properties are featured front and center right from the jump. It's got that very distinct toasted sesame cracker note up front, especially on the nose, which swerves into tart juicy raspberry with a prickly effervescence.
The medium-light body comes into a semi-dry finish where bright oak surfaces. Coming back to the prickly carbonation, it's just a perfect presence that allows this to go down insanely easily.

Bottle: Poured a deep red color lambic with a large pink color foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of funky yeast notes with some huge raspberry notes, some tartness and light acidic notes. Taste is a mix of huge raspberry flavours with some funky barnyard notes, some acidic notes but nothing overwhelming and oak with light residual sugar notes. Body is about average with excellent carbonation foe the style. Solid fruit lambic and something I wish was more accessible over here.

Always like how de cam beers play with the woodiness of the barrels so well, and this is no exception. Nice tart raspberry, straw, acidic cherry, dried flower and booze accent the wooden base. Dry, crisp finish, with decent carbonation and fizzy nature in foretaste. Classic composition

2009 vintage poured at a bottle share in 2018. Look is dark orange - fairly murky. Nose is sour cherries, peaches, funk, and leather. Taste is mouth puckering sour!!! Very impressive. Also picking up nice notes of strawberries and cherries. Definitely a bit of funk. Mouthfeel is dry and nicely coating. Overall, and amazing beer that has aged beautifully.
