Supplier: Beers of Europe
This is the Boon Breweries lambic made with raspberries. First made in 1976, with this one being made in 2012, it is made to display the Raspberries and uses not artificial flavourings. The recommend to drink this young even though it says it is best before the end of 2016. I served this slightly chilled

Appearance: Cherry red with a faint and very sort lasting pink head, when you hold it to the light it becomes ruby in colour.
Aroma: Predominantly raspberries (surprise surprise) with hints of other berry juices, maybe cherry.
Flavour: Quite tart on the front, like nearly ripe raspberries and this persists (berry taste maturing slightly) though until a little bit of a weak finish. Quite crisp and tart.
Body: Nice and light, but with enough body to support it.
Aftertaste: It has a nice clean finish with only a slight puckering in the aftertaste. It is just like after eating a nearly ripe raspberry. Later a nice sourness develops
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, very close to an 8, this just screams raspberries and is a great refreshing beer, perfect for the summers.
Price Range: £2.09 for a 250ml bottle, a good price despite the small bottle size; the 250ml bottle size is actually the perfect amount. I would definitely get this again as a standard summer drinker.
Food Pairings: It will go well with pretty much anything that raspberries go with; I'm picturing with a nice sharp cheddar and some water crackers at a picnic.
