Lindemans Framboise

I had to remind myself that this is beer, and I love beer...This was very good and a very big suprise for me....I have been dwelling for months if I wanted to buy a lambic. Im glad I did. Pours a non translucent cloudy like redish purple, pinkish head that didn’t last very long. Great taste of maltish raspberry and terrific aroma. I could drink this everyonce in a while and it was a nice expieriance. I guess if it took me 2 years to create a beer, I would charge $6.00 a bottle to..

Pours a very deep red with a small pinkish head. The aroma is sour raspberries and it has pretty much the same taste. There is a nice sweetness that balances the sour nicely. Not something I’d want to drink every day, but it is pretty tasty and my wife is happy when I bring it home.

Purple color with a nice purple head that fades quickly. Raspberry head with a raspberry flavor, sweet and sour mixed together. I like this much better than I thought I would.

A Mes rate: 37.5cl bottle from Dranken Geers.
Ok, it looks artificial and far removed from beery but the colour geek in me loves it. Candy apple red topped with bright baby pink foam. Glorious. Sadly the rest of it is equally artificial and ridiculously sweet. Seedy raspberry jam aroma. Slight lambic funk in the mouth but totally dominated by fruit syrup. In all honsty, take the thick sweetness away and it could be ok. Sadly, it’s more akin to an additive filled kids drink.

Draught. Poured dark red with a pink head. Smells of musty raspberries. Flavor is much the same raspberry fruitiness with an enjoyable strong tartness that takes over the palate after an initial sweetness. An enjoyable beer beer for desert.

Bought at The Wine King in Manasquan. The bottle kinda suprized me with the Cap and a cork. I would have to say that this beer isn’t that bad for my first time rating. It taste like raspberry soda. I would leave this one for the women to drink.

Bottle. Pours a pretty currant red with a small head. Fruit aromas with a slight medicinal note. Bold raspberry flavor that tastes as good as it smell. Very bubbly like a sparkling wine, such as Cold Duck. Very crisp and dry finish. Sweet, sour and tart. I really like this stuff. I’d rate it higher, but its is a bit too sweet.

I’m going to go with the phrase "beer-based beverage" to describe this one as it bears little resemblance to any beer I’ve had before. Nice color and aroma. Good fruity drink.
