Pours red with a very pretty fluffy pink head. Aromas of fresh sweet raspberries are dominant, with a subtle sour note. Flavour comes through mainly with sweet raspberry, but is quickly balanced with a very dry sourness. Not the sugarfest I was expecting, nice.

Clear red with a finger of pink soft head. Aroma is a it medicinal, seedy raspberries, some wood. Taste is more seedy rasberries and wood.

Reddish coloured beer with pinkish coloured head and lots of carbonation.. Sweet fruity aroma (like opening a pot of the jelly). full sparkling palate. Finish is sweet.

Thick as hell glass twelve ounce bottle from the Utah State Store. Pours a beautiful pink-red color with a large grape colored head. The aroma just jumps out; sweet sugars and fruit. The flavor is a fizzy and full raspberry and sugary mix. Light tartness and a lot of sweet flavors. A nice beer for some occasions.

Disappointing. Too artificial, too sweet. Smells superb, but that’s it. I really wonder what it tastes like without the artificial sweetening.

Deep rich burgundy with nice pink head. Aroma of sweet raspberries. Taste was very sweet, with some tartness and a little bitter on the finish like a lemon rind. Very enjoyable and a pleasant surprise. Nice desert beer.

Those crazy and ingenious Belgians are at it again, and this time with the Lindeman’s Framboise which stares at me in fruity raspberry seduction. While traditional unfiltered lambics and gueze will always be my favorites of the Lambic family, there is something to be said about craving the sweeter side of one’s sour tooth.

She pours a deep purple-pink reminiscent of freshly squeezed raspberry juice bursting with a deliciously pungent aroma. Hazy and cloudy, a soft pink head sits contently on top, leaving thick clumps of lace as I raise my glass for a whiff of her nose. Sweet and sour and oh-so tart, just the way I like my fruit lambics. Sweet crushed raspberries battle it out with their tart, un-ripened brethren while warm pie crust, vanilla, and oak barrel notes act as mediators. Wiping the drool off my chin, I savor the first of many thirst-quenching quaffs as an explosion of sweet and sour raspberries continue to battle it out across my tastebuds. Thick and coating, my mouth is a menagerie of raspberry pie followed swiftly by sour pucker. Keeping the peace is warm pie crust and dough, vanilla, and cream carried by a softening presence of oak. As I gaze into the empty depths of my glass, sticky lace clings stubbornly, reluctant to let go much like I am.

Fruit lambics are the perfect dessert companion, but I can personally enjoy them anytime when the sweeter side of my sour-tooth needs some attention. If fruit lambics were only sweet, there is no way I or anyone else would be able to drink them; they would be sickenly sweet. Instead, it is that magical balance of sweet, tart, and sour that creates one of the most ultimate and unique quaffing experiences. There are a few other fruit lambics I haven’t tried yet, but as for the Framboise Lambic from Lindemans, well done. Now, where’s my cheesecake?

Bottle. Dark maroon pour with a medium light purple head. Aroma of raspberries and sweet sugar. Taste of raspberries and citrus with some hints of wheat with a tangy finish.
