This does not have a very complex flavor, but a good one- the raspberry is strong with somewhat of a cream or vanilla note. I was pleasantly surprised.

Red color , thin pink head. The aroma of raspberry and cherry. Taste of sour raspberry with notes of malt. Refreshing , good for summer. Not as sour as the original lambic.

Pink head with a reddish pink body. Smell of sweets and raspberry and cherry. Taste is sweet with a hint of bubblegum, some fruity sweets coming through. Mouthfeel is a sour sweetness with some bubblegum. I did not care for it.

Clear pinkish red pour with pink tinted head. Smell and taste are clones: big sugary raspberry, almost like a syrupy you would put in a cocktail, then cough syrup with bland lacto and weak funk. Smell didn't have as rough of a finish. Feel is sweet and lightly sour but barely funky at all, light bodied yet thicker for style. Pass on this one

250 ml bottle, as Timmermans Framboise Lambicus, from Bris Ølutsalg, Jørpeland. ABV is 4%. Pink to red colour, moderate off-white pinkish head. Sweetish aroma of ripe and over-ripe raspberries. Sweet flavour, ripe and over-ripe raspberries again, not much acidity. Little lambic character. Sugary and thin mouthfeel. Won't buy again.

Low-tier sugary fruit soda masquerading as "lambic", more like Framboise-A-Rita.
Reddish amber, thin layer of foam, minimal spotty lace.
Cloyingly sweet aroma. Smells artificial, red hard candy and cough drops.
Tastes cloyingly sweet as well, more like cherry/strawberry candy than raspberry.
Saccharine sweet candy aftertaste, flabby feel, just bland and gross. Didn't finish the glass.
This is trash. To quote Jean Hummler from Moeder Lambic: it's "candy factory bullshit".
Doubtful there's even any lambic in whatever this is.

330ml bottle from Valhalla's Goat, Glasgow (£2.99):
This one was an interesting offering in that it was very sweet throughout but didn't quite turning sickening, although it threatened too towards the end of the taste but stopped short of it. There was a nice combination of berries featuring with raspberries dominating & some strawberries sitting before some blackberries seen things out. It was a relatively easy beer to drink with fine carbonation & some subtle malts helping the balance slightly but I doubt I could drink more than one of this in a row.
