Brussels Framboos

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Fruit Beer
Ertvelde, Belgium

Serve in Flute

250 ml bottle. Deep red colour, thin white head. The aroma is all raspberry sweetness. Fizzy carbonation. Sweet and sour raspberry flavour. Tastes like spoled and carbonated raspberry juice. I love raspberries, but not in this form.

redbrown murky, with HUGE pinky soapy head. Soapy aroma with artificial raspberry sharp carbonation: too fizzy, sticky, too sweet, too sour. soap. soap. unpleasant in everything, but I’ve never left a beer undrunk.

UPDATED: DEC 24, 2008 330ml bottle (Stockman, Turku)
Deep red, hazy, fizzy head. Sweet raspberry aroma. Fizzy in the mouth. Tangy fruitiness, a little tart even. Simple light grain backdrop once the tartness fades.
Rerate: Expired bottle. Tarter, much more acidic - way better than when young, but still too sticky-sweet.

Reddish brown, lemonade head. Strong but artificial raspberry aroma. Undrinkable sugar sweet and has an underlying foulness. Sticky palate. Horrendous.

Bottle. Pours a clear reddish-brown with a wispy pinkish head. Strong aroma of rasberries. The taste is pretty sharp and full of -- surprise -- rasberries. Some underlying lambic flavor, but a touch too sweet.

Bottle. Powerfull fluffy and lasting off-white head. Carefyl when you pour it. I had it twice on my table. Hazy dark red body. Lovery raspberries aroma with a good acidity. Flavor however is relatively sweet raspberries but still with a touch of acidity. Low carbonation and a long aftertaste.

02/03 0.25 l bottle. Poured reddish violet body with pink head :) Strawberries and other wild berries in aroma, really nice and intensive. Sweetish fruity flavor, slightly sourish, nice but nothing of beer here, more like a nice, slightly sparkling juice. Well, it’s been a while since I last tried some flavored beers, except radlers, but this is great for what it is, but if only had more beer.

Bottle. Gusher. Purple pinkish color. Aroma has raspberry juice with lemon sweets, rather artificial. Raspberry sweets and a lemony sourness in the flavor. Sugary with a sticky mouthfeel.
