Lindemans Framboise

Pours a dark reddish purplish color, with basically no head. Smell is of tart raspberries. Tastes strongly like raspberries too. Has the taste of a wine spritzer or something similar to that. Not oversweet, but much sweeter than a traditional beer. Prounounced raspberry taste and aftertaste along with a sourness. Highly carbonated. Not cloying, and very drinkable for what it is. Interesting, but not very beer-like. Tried also mixing it with Young’s double chocolate stout to make a "raspberry truffle" but it didn’t turn out as good as I had hoped.

xxx I loved this beer the first time I had it. that was before I started really drinking different beers. Now I find it overly-carbonated and not the best raspberry flavor, and it has no alcohol.

This is my all-time favorite beer. To me its so sweet as if I were drinking wine but I can taste the key ingredients that make beer unique. Try adding this to Hoegarden for an extra tasty treat.

Although is has a near water alcohol percentage, it is delicious. A crisp and tart flavor flows across your mouth freely. Wonderfully paired with a piece of chocolate cake drizzled with ganache or some chocolate mousse. This is more of a dessert beer, although I am sure there are some other dishes it would complement.

Very very raspberry. I love raspberries, but was this a beer? I suppose nice for a dessert, I’m not to experienced in this style. It was quite nice. 2.5%? Jesus, well water is 2.5%!

On tap. Poured dark purple with a pink/red head. Aroma of raspberries. Taste was much of the same. Very sweet and filling.

on at at Firewaters AC. Deep red-almost purple in colr with a big pink heade. Aroma is a ton of rasberries, and that is about it. maybe a touch of funk way in the back. The taste I found to be way too sweet and sugary, although the rasberry does taste very fresh. Compared to other framboises, I couldn’t detect much tartness at all. Finishes fruity, sweet and smooth. a touch of tartness lingers after the finish but not enough for me personally. This almost tasted like a beer cocktail to me, rather than a normal beer. Not too crazy about this one.

Sampled on tap @ Waldo’s Pizza in KC, MO. How many pizza joints have a lambic on tap? Served in a flute. This is an attractive beer: deep red with a thin pinkish head. The aroma is strong raspberries with a hint of cream. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, tart and dry. The flavor follows the nose and is big, effervescent raspberries. Quite tasty. This is like a liquid raspberry sorbet. Fresh, flavorful and clean with a tart, palate-cleaning astringency at the end. After jotting down my notes, all the adults at the table wanted a taste. Unanimously, even among the non-beer drinkers and the one Miller Lite drinker (God help her), this beer was a hit. I think I’ll have to grab a bottle or two for the next family gathering.
