Lovely fruity stuff. Lovely sourness, all lovely
Acid is strong on this one! And quite dusty earthy taste. Fruit is lovely.
I am so tired of these raspberry lambic blends, especially these from 3 Fonteinen ... One sided, too sour and no character.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 23.06.2017. red color, small white head. smells raspberries, lactic, cherries, leathery, subtle funk, nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes raspberries, cherries, leathery, lactic notes. finishes rather dry and rather sour with notes of raspberries, cherries and lactic notes. way too clean, way too sour. A large bottle is a tough sell.

0,75l bottle at home. deep red color, small pink head. smells of cherries, marzipan, light oxidation, raspberries, funky, grassy, spices. very nice smell. light to medium body, soft carbonation. tastes of cherries, citric, grassy, some raspberries, oak, nutty, marzipan. finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of cherries, marzipan and raspberry notes. yeah, this is lovely, very different from most modern Hommage blends. This is light in ABV, yet still has a lot going for it. Also not the lactic bomb which seems to be more and more common. Raspberries are there, but also not dominating. Great stuff.

Sampled @2022 . Pours a dark orange-red. Taste is mushrooms, mild red fruityness, intense acetic acid - yet still OK. Taste is full, funky, intense complexity. Aged red candy, milder - way milder - acetic acid than expected from the nose. Quite balanced at this point in time. Lovely !

21 August 2021. At Gents Bierfestival. Cheers to the Ghent beer crew! 18/19, blend No° 57. Hazy red, no head. Strong aroma of raspberry, unripe strawberry, lemon peel, sour cherry, sour plum, vinegar, grapes. Taste has very sour plum, raspberry & lemon acid, funky straw, softly lactic-yoghurty but leaning more towards sourdough. Tart, acidic, fruity finish, very sour red fruits, plum, some woody tannins with an earthy rhubarb note. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very complex, rich in fruitiness with the right amount of 'wildness'T. Excellent.

Medium body with a creamy carbonation. Phenomenal.

Bottle at home. Deep red with quick fizz. Loads of jammy rasberries in the aroma, some cherries and marzipan too. Taste is very sour. Raspberry balsamic, tart cherries and red currants. Too sour for me.
