Commercial Description:
Framboise, French for "raspberry", is a Belgian-style fruit lambic. Made with more than 4,600 pounds of raspberries, 50% wheat at a gravity of 14°p it has all the makings of a great summer time beer. Highly carbonated, it produces a wonderfully pink, lacey head. The burgundy color foretells of intense raspberry aromas. A nice, sweet start finishing with a tart and acidic finish that is light and refreshing.
Released again in late 2006 in 12oz bottles and draught.

Sampled at 2007 Brewnosers’ Christmas Gathering. About 2 years old at time of sampling. Amber colour with a pink tint and a light pinkish fizzy head. Aroma seems more strawberry than raspberry with some woody and earthy notes. Strawberry leads the flavour as well with some dry yeastiness and oak. Light bodied, dry but refreshing.

From a 750ml bottle, pours a deep reddish brown with a light white head and lace. Intense fruity aroma, light-medium body, slightly dry flavor balance where tart fruitiness dominates at the finish.

Reddish color with a light pinkish head, it seems to be very tart and raspberry flavor sof course. Seems not quite as much Belgian character as I would have hoped for. I would still probbaly buy Lindeman’s over this one.
