3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Both the bottle and draught versions of Boon’s framboise are too sweet for me; way to sweet in fact. I like my lips to pucker when I drink lambic so this one isn’t for me.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
An attractive dark ruby colour with a small but sustained head, the aroma was of ripe raspberries underscorred with some delicate maltiness. Medium body and quite light carbonation. Fruity sweetness on the palate, well balanced by a sharp tartness which fades nicely onto the finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured an appealing light red/pinkish color with a good amount of carbonation and champagne-like bubbliness. Sour, funky, candy-like aroma with a mouthwatering raspberry character and a faint mustiness. Flavors were fairly straightforward... sour candy raspberry--more sweet than sour--and some faint woody musty notes. Mouthfeel was bubbly and champagne-like with a slight acidic/dry finish. Overall this was not all that complex of a lambic... I kind of wanted more intensity and more SOURNESS... plus it was a bit on the expensive side. But good stuff nonetheless, worth trying at least once.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy red, no head. Aroma is soapy with a tart raspberry scent. Flavor is very dry raspberry flavor like if it was just a raspberry peel, classic soapy belgian gueze taste. Flavor is a lot drier than I thought it would be tart. What a great gueze with fruit added.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Ruby-red orange pour that looks like a waning sunset. Cloudy body with a significant amount of sediment. Absolutely no head or lacing. The aroma is of fresh raspberries, strawberries, and some funky, sour yeast. The flavor is essentially the same, though everything is a bit intensified. Fresh fruit on the nose seemed to turn to Jolly Rancher type sweet flavors. The sourness of the yeast seemed to strengthen as well. Sweet up front, moving to a quick and dry, fruity finish. The body is slightly watery, though it goes down smooth and is incredibly easy to drink. About as refreshing as a beer can be.
