I did not think anyone could improve on Chapeau’s framboise but this brewer has done it.Even the head is pink.Fruit lambics are not for everyone. 12.7oz is a perfect dose.No more,no less.Very refreshing.

St. Louis sets it’s framboise apart from the pack with its slightly sour finish that gives it a real fruit taste...not like drinking syrup.

Beautiful in the glass, a clear red strawberry hue - the flavor is bitter and sour at first, and then the taste of raspberries takes over your whole mouth.... The bitter sour starter keeps this from being a sticky sweet mess, and tones the whole thing down.

Sampled from a 12.7 oz green bottle this beer poured a bright red color with a medium sized pink head. The aroma was tart raspberry. The flavor is very tart and bitter raspberry with a light sweet middle and a tarty and tangy finish. Tasty.

Wow. What a nice surprise to find this beer in the local packy. Until now, the only other lambic option was Lindeman’s which is way sweeter. This beer is not quite as sour as I like but the best that my geo has to offer in the Lambic department these days. It pours a dark red, with a pink head, some nice lacing. The nose is classic lambic musty with raspberry overtones. The initial taste is sour/slightly sweet raspberry with an citric acid finish. I really like this beer and am so happy to have it in town. I hope it sticks around.

Raspberries, and I’m not relating to Thoroughly Modern Millie. In the aroma, in the flavor, and the early finish seems the same as eating fresh raspberries, perhaps even a hint of seed. The sweet is nearly balanced by the tart. The new label is a bit sad, lacks the character of the old. Final finish hints of a sour lambic characeristic.

An excellent example of the style. Not quite as good as the Lindeman’s Fram, but then again that is the standard by whch I measure all other lambics.
