Was listed as Raspberry Lambic, but I guess this is the same thing. Pours out a rich reddish colour, with touches of mahogany here and there. Topped by a pinkish-reddish foam. The nose is very prominent, with nothing too noticeable save for thick, fresh raspberries. A touch sweet, but still noticeably natural. The taste is tartn, almost a slight sourness. The raspberries come through prominently, as the beer seems to be very lightly hopped and even more lightly malted. It is a fruit beer, and intends to be a fruit beer. Not much more to the flavour profile. Tasty, but a bit one-sided. It's more full-bodied and more drinkable than a lot of traditional fruit lambics.

This beer only comes in a 10oz tulip. No recipe in the restroom as for other beers.

This beer pours a dark ruby color with virtually no head in the tiny glass. It is slightly hazy. The strong sweet smell of raspberries is evident. The beginning is all sweet raspbeerry. Bitterness is low to none. Nice wheat flavor. Quickly the sweetness dries up and a strong sour tartness takes over. Inhaling at the end I get some nice grainy malt, or is that the wheat again? The tartness keeps this brew from being sickly sweet. Medium bodied.

Overall: a lambic in the lindemann's style, but with more tartness. Great for girls and non-hop heads and newbies. Very surprising character for this Rock Bottom. Very nice.

From EBF.
Poured a cloudy pink purplish color. Short pink-tinged white rocky head, with streams of carbonation.
Can almost taste raspberry pulp in the aroma, a musty hayfield.
Very tart and sweet, full of raspberries, wet wheat, mushrooms, a bit of lemon. The tartness pushes the other tastes over the top to greatness.
Medium body, but a very full taste.
