A: Pous crystal clear, copper in color, moderate sized bright white head dissipates quickly leaving no lacing. Looks still in the glass’s 4.25

S: Aroma is immediate raspberries, hay and raw wheat. Initially quite floral which then cedes to funky notes of slightly pungent cheese. I can’t say that it smells particularly sour, but there’s some lactic tartness and citrus rind. Quite complex and a wonderful nose. 4.75

T: Taste follows with a big plastic like funk up front, which quickly yields to floral and citrus notes, with big oaky vanilla on the finish that lingers forever. Taste is quite tart and sour but it’s not as puckering as many lambics. The raspberry characters are present but certainly not prominent, not sure to what extent that’s due to the age. 4.5

M/D: Mouthfeel is lighter side of medium bodied with a big but appropriate carbonation and incredible drinkability. I could drink this all day. 5

O: A wonderful beer no doubt. Not sure if it was worth the difficulty in obtaining as I think I prefer Cantillon Rose de Gabrinus when it comes to Raspberry lambics (and I’ve surprisingly found the other easy to get over the years). Regardless, still wonderful and I would have a fridge full of this on the regular if it was readily available. 4.5

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5
375 ml. bottle.
Bottling Date 18Dec19
Best before 26 Oct 39.

Gentle to moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a hazy, solid golden body with fleeting lacing.

Nose of funk, oak, and raspberries.

Taste mirrors nose with mostly tart raspberry flavors, oak tannins, and funk.

Wonderful mouthfeel, almost perfect for the style.

Overall, I know it's quite expensive at $29.99 a 375 ml. bottle,
but do yourself a favor and grab one if you see one!
Cheers!!
