Lindemans Framboise

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

Bottle. A little too cloyingly sweet for my palate. Maybe good for someone who likes sweet raspberry fruit punch-- but I like it a little more sour and complex.

Tap @ Faegans. Served in small tulip glass. Looks plum with pinkish 1 finger head. Bright fruity aroma of rasberry sherbert. Tart and quenching. Taste is nothing like any beer that I’ve ever had. I would have guessed some kind of Bartles and James wine cooler or something.

Pours a dark red that is clear but hard to see thru, full high pink head, fell bluffy and fizzy. sweet sweet rasberry fruity aroma, smooth initial milky palate with dry finish. full bodied mouthfeel , thick. sweet front and smooth mild tartness behind the overwhelming fruit sweetness of rasberries, definilty brings the sweetness out and hides the tartness. very good full and light.

Bottle from Asda. Pours a dark purple red with a thin purpley pink head that laces incredibly well. Nose is raspberries with a slight tartness but plenty of sweetness. Mouth is sweet raspberry with a tartness catching the throat and some lasting sweet and sour play. Very sweet raspberry end, but gulpable. Not as refreshing as the Kriek, but nice still.

The perfect Framboise appearance - deep red with a medium, very slowly-diminishing, pink head. Strong raspberry juice aroma with hints of Lambic character. Sweet raspberry flavor with sugar and some light tart notes. Light to medium body. Too sugary as I expected, and nothing very complex about this one, but if you like raspberries (as I do) this one is very enjoyable.

Bottle poured into flute- poured ruby red, thin pink head formed and laced a little as time went on, medium carbonation. Aroma of tart raspberries, yeast, and a sugar note. Hits the mouth with a high-thin body, raspberies are tart and sweet at the same time, finish is clean with a slight sour note. Desert and one for the ladies all the way, not bad though.

12oz Bottle: Pours dark red w/ a large pink head. Nice lacing ’round the ol’ glass. Aroma is raspberries. From across the room...raspberry. Flavor is very tart raspberry on the first sip, made my mouth water. Goes to a more sweet/sour thing after that initial taste. Not a beer I have around all the time, but it’s fantastic. Always enjoy this one.

A 12oz bottle with all kind of info on it. The beer pours a juice read with a cream redish head. The smell of raspberries and cream, the taste is the same but with a nice warmth of alcohol. Good all around. bottle.
