Lindemans Framboise

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

Tap at Slow’s in Motown: Raspbery color with a mauve head. Tastes like sweet raspberry jam or syrup. One person I was with who doesn’t like beer gulped it down like Kool-Aid.

This is what my kids are looking for in a soda pop; sweet, tart and, easy to drink. I suggest cooling it to the point of freezing and pouring it over ice cream. Not bad if you like swwet stuff.

I first had this lambic years ago, and it is still one of my favorites. Though hard to find in bars or restaurants, it is worth trying if you are a fan of raspberries.

From 750 ml bottle into wine glass. Beautiful red color with a reddish head. Aroma of rasberries--no surprise there, but mentionable because of the intensity. The overwhelming taste was rasberry. I love this beer, or Lambic, as it is called. I think I could detect some wheaty flavors, but like I said the rasberries are agressive. This is a beautiful drink to put in a glass, just awesome.

I remember when CBD first introduced me to this beer over a lovely meal. I wasn’t yet aware of fruit lambics. It’s a really nice beer to have with dessert. But otherwise, I don’t reach for it.

Fiery red body, thick pink head of medium density. Strong funky/barnyard aroma, dusty, with sharp, somewhat sweet raspberry notes. The flavor comes as close to "cobwebby" as any beer I can remember, with dry, dusty yeast and oak burying the thin sourness which tingles the tongue but lacks the usual puckering lambic strength. The sweet raspberries lurk beneath the funk and enhance, rather than dominate, the beer. Nice.

Massive sweet raspberry aroma,very sweet raspberry flavour, not sure if i could call this beer, itjust seems like fizzy rasperry cordial to me...

Bottle. Pours hazy dark red with small pin-tan head that goes away quickly. The aroma is sweet raspberries and not much else. The flavor has a little bit of tartness at first, then again with tons of sweet raspberry taste. I pick up some wheaty graininess once in a while. While much better than the other Lindemans fruit "lambics," this is still too much like flavored soda to me.
