St. Louis Framboise

A deep red beer with a pink head. The aroma is sweet with notes of almonds and raspberries. The flavor is sweet with a slight acidic touch, and lots of raspberries. Too sweet for me to really enjoy it.

(Bottle 25 cl) While sweetened, commercialized gueuzes can often be a pleasant experience. That is much more rarely the case with the sweetened, commercial gueuze-based fruit-beers. Nice pale red colour, very sweet, very fruity and fresh to some extent. Nice aperitif before it sickens you. 040993

Very sweet raspberry aroma. Deep red colour, small pink head. The flavour is quite sweet with a hint of acidity. OK frambozen, but with a hint of aspartam in aftertaste.

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Damn, this category is destroyed by some bad examples... pour is nice, deep red - very clear. A small creamy white film head on top. Aroma is sweet, sweet, raspberry jam, sugar and light yeast. Light and lively mouthfeel. Flavour is equally sweet, lightly artificially fruity. Far too sweet.

Draft... Clear, ruby ale with a small, creamy, pink tinted head. Fruity aroma... lemon and raspberry. The flavor is all about sweet, tart and tangy raspberries. Medium-bodied and lightly oily with lively carbonation. Finishes fruity and tangy. Fun! Not ingenious nor complex. Just fun!

ruby colour, fine head, raspberry candy and floral aroma, very sweet and light bodied with a strange, unpleasant artificial finish

Very sweet and strong raspberry aroma. Red/pink colour, fair lace. Very sweet, some sourness, very artificial raspberry. Refreshing on a warm summer sunday afternoon. But that’s all folks!
