It's red...like a lighter shade of cran-raspberry juice. It's thicker obviously, and a bit opaque. It forms a nice pink head (heh heh heh) that's fun to eat on it's own.
The taste is amazing too, like no other beer I've ever had. It's basically like drinking raspberry juice. I get tired of the taste of beer after one or two, but I could drink this stuff all night long. Also, it's not overly carbonated, and goes down smooth. If you enjoy raspberries, or other berries I highly recommend it. Goes great with the summer if you're looking for something refreshing.
ABV % is debatable. I've seen some that say it's 2.5, other's 4%, and the restaurant where I ordered it said 6. So who knows.

alright... so where can you buy them?

I don't get why "real men" would drink piss water like Bud, but won't drink something with fruit in it that probably has higher ABV and actually has some taste. It's like beer snobbery in reverse.
bud has "no taste"
lambics have "bad taste"

That's changing a little. Wegmans stores are starting to carry beer, but they have to be somewhat "partitioned" from the rest of the departments.

This. A nice hoppy IPA tastes good. Leave the fruity flavors for the chick drinks.

Yeah, no shit. A good beer is a good beer. I'm not asking why someone would prefer a decent IPA over a lambic. I'm wondering why guys would drink a shitty beer that tastes awful (or completely lacks taste) and is slower to get you drunk (if that's what you're shooting for), or why fruit automatically makes a drink superhomogay.

a bud has no taste and it makes me feel good
a lambic tastes bad and it makes me feel good
so why not drink the one at 1/3th the cost

i love frambois lambic. the cherry is good too, but it's rare to find.
it's best from the tap, but you can find it at trader joe's in bottles.

not true at all. Lambics are a very old style, and few are naturally fermented (Cantillon, for ex.), meaning that rather than adding yeast, the malt is simply left open and exposed to the environment so that air-born yeast will do the job.
If anything, it's more "real" than most of the other styles out there today, that were developed long after this old-world process.
I'm not big on lambics, though.

curious. I didn't know the term Lambic had an actual meaning like that.
