Liefmans Frambozenbier

375 ml bottle, cork date 2.004, best before 12/2014. Dark and murky burgundy colour with a frothy lasting tan coloured head. Strong natural tart raspberry aroma with underlying barnyardy and yeasty notes. Fresh raspberry dominates, accompanied by lightly sour and woody flavours. Smooth, creamy, and refreshing motuhfeel. Good, but straightforward.

(on bottle) Thisbrew is said to only have clean juices of rasberries in it. How come there´s no acid in it at all then? Where´s does it go? Well, it does have alot of the sent, but the freshness is nonpresent. The lack of acid makes this ale a very beautifull mahogony-colored, flat ´n´sweet brew.

1/2 teaspoon sediment still left in the bottle. Dull browned ruby with a cloudy appearance. Sudsy short tan head. Aroma is very sweet raspberry, yeasty with some caramel or brown sugar notes. Piles of juicey raspberry in the palate. Musty yeast. Could stand to be more tart. Buttery fat and meaty. Mildly metallic. Somewhat cloying and chalky early on butty mouthfeel grows creamy and woody as it warms. Nice stuff.

Reddish leather brown body that’s definitely a bit cloudy. Very rasberry aroma. Tart and sweet but so bubbly and balanced that it’s easy to drink. The raspberry in both the flavor and the aroma is so fresh that you can taste the seeds. You almost expect to feel the seeds between your molars.

Cloudy copper. Real fresh raspberry aroma - not cloying or "fake" smelling. Same with the flavor. Somehow both light and rich, it avoids the syrupy sweet pitfalls of many fruit beers. Very Nice.

This was a purple beer. My first one of those. Well this one was quite interesting. Raspberries dominate everything about this beer. The flavor was sweet but mostly tart. Some muskiness was detected. I was impressed even though Im not usually a big fan of raspberries. The mouthfeel was quite carbonated and sweet. Good one Wunderbier.

Quite a pretty looking beer, all purple and whatnot. Tons of raspberries in the aroma and flavor. Too much actually. The tasty base flemish sour is drowned out in a mass of raspberry juice.

Now this was an interesting way to round off the tasting. Pours a very delicate purple with a pink fizzy foam head. The nose is full of dark fruits and dancing, tingly acidity. The flavor is slightly sour with a mixture of fruity sweetness. Mouthfeel is lively and maybe a little overcarbonated. Finish is sour and tart.
