Bottle. Aroma is strong / sweet raspberry, taste is much the same. Nice tartness but vinegary also. Refreshing.

[Bottle] pours cloudy amber with a small cream head. Aroma is very sweet with raspberries coming through a little. A little tart in the taste, but really not as sour as I thought it would be. Medium mouthfeel. Average finish. Ok, but not too great.

Cherry red with a hissing head of suds. Appetisingly acidic aroma of full fruit juiciness, lambic dankness and...pickled gherkin? Definitely a sqeeze of vinegar to balance the sweetness. Spritzy and sweet-sour with parting touch of bitterness and a Custard Cream vanilla-malty aftertaste. Tasty, well-balanced refreshment.

Bottle. Aroma of raspberry juice: both sweet and tart. Some oak with an underlying sourness. Pours cloudy brown with ruby highlights. Flavor of raspberry liqueur at first, the becoming refreshingly sour and tart. Nice dry oakiness on the finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A slight disappointment after the original and the cherry.

Luzern-07. I’m not a huge lambic fan, but Framboise has always been my favourite of the bunch. This beer has a huge raspberry nose, and the raspberry sweetness is carried through the taste balanced with

Bottle @ Delirium Cafe in Brussels. Huge raspberry nose. Great looking beer. More tart than the Lindemans & IMO much better. Very good

Big rasberry presence in both the flacvor and aroma.. Very tart with a sweet and sour character. Very good. A great dessert beer

Pours a deep glowing ruby red with a moderate slightly frothy pink head. The aroma is upfront sweet raspberries, background tart and spice, faint Belgian must. Very sweet and tart raspberry flavor. Very nice. Not quite as sweet as Lindemans. Dry spice. Lovely carbonation. Wonderful mouthfeel and finish.
