Lindemans Framboise

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

Aroma and flavor is intense raspberry. Very sweet and fruity. I liked it at first but it is too sweet for my taste.

Bottle purchased locally, Pours with a red/purple color with a small diminishing head. Aroma is an overpowering sweet raspberry with little else coming through. Taste is a sour sweet with fruity flavor. Finish is crisp and sour. Overall a little too sweet for my tastes.

Sample from bottle, thanks Jen. Elegant red, sitting in snifter. Tons of fresh, juicy raspberry on the nose. Taste is the same, with an instant pucker affect on the tongue. Good amount of carbonation and not lacking in fruit by any means. Always a winner with the ladies.

Flaske: Rød øl med et fint lille skumhoved. Duft af hindbær. Langt mindre syntetisk end krieken. Smagen er også domineret af hindbær. Tør og let sur. Fin øl og bedre end første forventning, men hindbær er ikke lige mig.

Beautiful red pour with a pink persistant head. Great rasberry nose and pallate. i am a sucker for rasberries, and while this isnt a classic beer taste, the sour finish is crisp and clean.

Profound raspberry and sugar aroma. Plum and pink color with thin head and decent lacing. Malty intro with some carbonation evident in the mouth. Initial raspberry flavor is subtle and smooth on the tongue but soon becomes bittersweet in the aftertaste. Made a raspberry shortcake once with this beer and raspberries and it was pretty good!

Shared with my sister-in-law. Pours a dark purple color with a very purple, frothy head that dies down quickly. Aroma is almost all raspberry with some light sour and barnyard notes. Flavor starts off slightly sour, very strong of raspberry notes, sweet light farm ending with an ending tartness to round out the tasting. Overall a decent brew but I wish there was a bit more of a funk flavor to help tone down or accent the strong sweetness.

375ml bottle thanks to Gerrit during the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting. Dark red with medium pink head. Sweeter raspberry, a little sickenly sweet. Flavor is a sweet mess, like a jolly rancher. Medium to light body with weird carbonation. Meh.
