Lindemans Framboise

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

Pours a dark translucent red. Tiny pinkish head. Minimal retention. Great lacing. Smell is sweet raspberries. Not much else here at all. Sweet raspberries hit your tongue, hard. Fresh flavor, not artificial. Slight tartness follows and then finishes nicely sweet. Great mouthfeel with just about perfect carbonation. Nice and creamy. I find this to be the most balanced of all of the Lindemans fruit lambics. It is also highly drinkable, for a dessert beer, or anytime. Enjoy!

Raspberry yoghurt. Deepr red with a pink head. Tart. Really sweet. Sour finish.

Has a great raspberry flavor; a great introduction to the Lambic world. The smell and appearance reminds me more of a champagne than a beer. Being that this is my first Lambic it might be typical.

Beautiful to look at with its deep red color. Smooth and sweet, with raspberry flavor-- with a pleasant bitterness accompanying the sweetness. It is clean and fresh like they suggest. It goes quick!

Bottle. Pours a dark red with a pink head. Strong raspberry aroma. Sweet raspberry flavor with a finishing tartness.

To be certain, I am partial to raspberrys. This is so unlike what I expected. I was certain that this was going to be like some american lime beer with a little bit of fruit squeezed in at the end. Nope. Raspberries were everywhere; in the aroma, in the pour, on the tongue. Goodness gracious, it is a good thing I love raspberries. Oh, by the way, some may think of it as a chick drink, but remember, if mama’s happy, you might be too.

Clear magenta with a light rose head featuring plenty of rising bubbles. Beautiful to look at, beautiful to smell. Sour, red fruits, sugar all in the aroma. Tastes the same--primarily of tart raspberries. This beer is meant to be a sweet/sour tasting of raspberries and it does it superbly.
