Lindemans Framboise

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

Bottle: Pours a deep ruby red color with no head or lacing. Nose is sweet with raspberries and honey. Tastes rich with raspberry sweet and tart with a little of that malt beverage base. Very enjoyable when dreaming of something sweet and fruity.

Pours a clear red color with a great deal of carbonation. Fluffy pink head. Big raspberry aroma, semi-sour raspberry taste. Could be a little less sweet... not bad.

Can’t believe that I’ve never rated this. Pours a deep purple with reddish hues and a pinkish-red head. Decent lacing. Powerful;e sweet raspberry aroma. Memorable flavor-raspberries. Tapered by the carbonation. Very nice beer!

Pours a purplish/ruby with a almost pink tinted head. Nose is strong with raspberries (surprise, surprise). Flavor kicks you in the back of the mouth a bit at first. The more you go on the smoother it gets. There are of course strong raspberry flavors and little else that can compete with such in your face flavors. Feel is thick with flavor and a decent carbonation. Drinkable? Yes. But only if you can appreciate flavor intense creations such as this. I know this is not a "traditional" creation of the style and is almost like a soda in many qualities, but I still think it is good. I have gotten several people to try this, and I know it has expanded their perception of what beer can be.

25 cL bottle. Pours dark purple/red with a lacing pink head. Sweet caramel raspberry aroma. Citric sweet raspberry flavour. Slight sticky sweet finish with a persisting raspberry fruit flavour.

Lindemans Framboise is one of the few beers that is so flavorful that I can almost taste it simply by remembering. After drinking and loving Framboise for years, I finally got to drink it on tap at Papago in Scottsdale (out of a tulip glass!). It was outstanding! The color was an even darker red-maroon than from the bottle and the head was an even creamier pink. The Framboise still had all the tart, obviously raspberry flavors, but with an added smoothness or milkiness as it seemed that there wasn’t as much of a carbonated bite. The finish was a lingering, slightly sour, sugary sweetness. Framboise, especially on tap, is an absolutely beautiful drink in both appearance and taste; it might very well be the prettiest thing you can put in a glass.

On tap, numerous times. Bright blood red in color with slightly pink foam, aroma is big huge raspberries. Initial flavor is almost raspberry puree, way too sweet, a little bit of lambic peeks in on the aftertaste but for the most part it’s a pasteurized sugar bomb.

bottle poured into a flute, great rush of carbination when first poured leaving a frothy layer on top of the lambic. color is a deep maroon that is hard to see through with haze smell is sweet raspberries, slightly creamy, along the lines of those cream saver candy’s. taste is good fresh berries, slightly tart, and has a full body feel. i buy this for my wife who loves it but it is really refreshing and is one of the better ones i have tried, really good flavor, just enough tartness.
