COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Framboise Boon is a traditional Belgian Lambic fruit-beer. It is brewed according to the traditional Lambic style of spontaneous fermentation. Only fresh raspberries (25%) and wildcherries (5%)are used for this Lambic beer. Framboise Boon is the missing link between beer and wine and is served chilled in flute glasses. NO artificial sweeteners, flavourings, preservatives or colouring agents. Brewed in Lembeek, the village that gave Lambic its name.

Good looking burbangy yet clear. Sour nose of funky yeast and berries. Taste is tarte and sweet yet has an odd metallic linger. Enjoyable, but I think I like their kriek better.

Flott rřd farve som ikke ligner pĺ řl. Hvitt skum. Lukter og ser ut som bringebćrbrus. Smaker som en vinřs bringebćrbrus. Třrr ettersmak.

2012 bottle. aroma of jammy strawberry seeds and raspberries. nice. new glarus raspberry tart-esque. taste is toasted sourdough bread, strawberry and raspberry jam, some old dust. some light tart berry provides balance, but definitely sweet jammy fruit forward. good.

Láhev 250 ml. Příjemné aroma malin snoubené s lehkým závanem alkoholu. Pěna je nízká, růžová s bílou čepičkou krásně jemná a něžná, bohužel rychle mizí. Barva je rubínová přecházející do fialové opravdu krásné barvy. Chuť je kyselá připomínající nedozrálé maliny a třešně vskutku výtečné a osvěžující.

375, corked and baled. 2010 cracked 2013. Thanks B! Pours a hazy mauvish-pink. You know that purple-pink color framboises get. Fizzy light pink head. Nose smells a bit synthetic and backsweetened, but not totally off-putting. Fizzy medium body, tons of carb. synthetic syrup-concentrate raspberry taste, a little mineral funk, a little carbonic bite. Dry body/sweetish finish.

Ughsmash (6723) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 13, 2013
Bottled, BB 4/15/14. Poured rosy amber with a short off-white head. The aroma picked up semi-sweet raspberries paired with leather, lemon zest, and dried cherries.. light undercurrents of hay and oxidation.. solid. The flavor found tangy raspberry seeds and oak on the tip of the tongue, with sweeter fruits and a touch of pale malt behind.. dry and lightly funky throughout.. finished even drier, with nice tanginess from the berries.. tasty. Lighter-bodied with low carbonation on the palate.. a tad sweeter than I wanted, but it was mighty approachable.. I’d have another.

Draft sample @ Boon during TdG ’13. The pour’s deep purple with a small pink head. Very sweet raspberries on the nose. Quite vibrant and sweet. The taste is slightly watery Swedish fish and sweet shop raspberry candy. Hints of tangy sourness. Very simple. Light body, not unpleasant. Overall, decent.

2011 crop. Cork popped out on its own spilling a bit of framboise on my floor. Head: ping, sparking pink, fast disappearing. Colour: ruby (raspberry and cherry). Aroma: sharp yeasty, almost chemical. Raspberry hardly passes through by the time your reach the bottom. Taste is very sour and slightly bitter. Finish is astringent. Would love more fruitiness to balance out the sourness.
