Lindemans Framboise

Pours purple with a beautiful sudsy pink / purple head. The aroma is all raspberries and is semi-sweet and lush with a touch of graininess. Medium rich body with gentle and comforting soft carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of sweet raspberries ~ actually a bit too sweet for my tastes. The taste is also rich and lush and finishes with some spiciness. This is a very good fruit beer, but I have problems look at this as a lambic.

Pours a deep ruby red. Aroma is of rasberries. Head is a pink color, and dissipates to a thin layer quickly, but leaves a lacing. Thin head remains throughout. Body is heavy and syrupy. Flavor is hugely of rasberries, very tart, and VERY sweet. Lively carbonation, like with a sparkling wine. It was okay, certainly not bad. I’d go for it more if it weren’t so ridiculously sweet. I felt like I needed to brush my teeth afterwards.

pinkish tint to the head. nice rasperry aroma. alcohol content is super low. served in a flute. not much else to say. would be more interesting if there was sour tones in it.

750 mL. Pours cherry red, soft strawberry where the light comes through. Short fizzy pink head. Lacing remains stuck all around the edges of the glass and in rings in the center throughout the drink. Smell is all fruity raspberry and strawberry, very sweet. Taste is raspberries all over the front of the palate with a sharp hit of acid mid palate and a bit of malty smoothness at the back. The acid is a little too high, I can feel it all the way down my throat to my stomach. This beer has enough tartness to pucker your lips. It has a surprisingly heavy feel on the palate with champagne like lively carbonation dancing in the mouth. The fruit flavors are nice, but they are seriously lacking in complexity. This is a nice novelty but not something I would like to drink often. Doesn’t compare to champagne of the same price.

Pours a ruby red color with a small pink head. Aroma is very sweet and tart raspberries. Taste is sweet with just the right amount of tartness. The raspberries are very prevalent. Very smooth, refreshing, and delicious. It could use a bit more funk and sourness but it’s a damn fine brew.

sweet berry aroma, nice red color with an off white head. a refreshing tartness helps to counteract the cloying sweetness apparent in some other lambic or "lambic imitations"

Pours red with small off white head. Aroma is packed with raspberries and wood. Sweet flavor with raspberry and woody notes. Lacks sourness.
