Lindemans Framboise

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Fruit
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Pink frothy head on a cherry red pour,with good carbonation.Aroma raspberries,hops,light malt notes.Flavour sweet but not overdone,even flavour of vinuos,light wheat,malt is tops smooth but has a high note in flavour with the wheat.Hops are good on the taste buds,really good thirst quencher,slight acidic notes,the finish sweet and dry,pretty good stuff.

Dark crimson colour with a jammy aroma. Taste has plenty of raspberry sweetness and a bit of sourness, though not enough. Non beer drinkers of my acquaintance enjoyed it immensely, comparing it to a British alcopop called Sweet and Sour Cherry Veba. This is probably not a comparison with which Brouwerij Lindemans will be particularly pleased.

Vale pelo que se propõe. Coloração vermelha intensa, creme denso e consistente. No aroma e no sabor, a framboesa, porém sem notas lupuladas. Final doce. Refrescante.

Bottle: Not a huge fan of this beer. It is my first lambic and I don’t know if I will go for another. Tastes too much like fruit punch.

Taste 9/8 Bottles(07,06, 05) Looks: Nice red to brown murk with a tiny top. Aroma: Raspberry, sour and biscuit. Taste: Very dry raspberry, concentrate killed the beer.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Very deep red, virtually no head. Sweet pippy jammy raspberry aroma. Again, like all these beers, no off or bad flavours, but it’s so obviously made with too much sugar. Oh just way too sweet.

Draft @ Willi. Pours a deep, dark ruby color; bright medium pink head with fine-bubbled lacing. Huge amounts of raspberries, simple sugar, and just a touch of tartness and acidity in the aroma; pitty, dense raspberries without overwhelming sweetness. Good levels of carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of pitty red raspberries, red fruits, and sugar; slight tartness and acidity, intensely drinkable, well-composed, and just an excellent fruit presence overall, if on the sweet side. Very nice fruit beer, reminiscent of cherry Jolly Ranchers. Lengthy finish: red raspberries, plenty of fruits, and not sticky or immensely sweet at the end.

From bottle. If you approach this thinking beer, it’s strange at best, completely and totally wrong at worst. However, if you approach this thinking dessert, well then you’ve got something very nice in your hands. From the deep red color to the juanty pink foam, to the almost over the top sweet raspberry flavor this is what KoolAid wants to be when it grows up.
