Mini-champagne bottle with fancy wrapping. Deep ruby body, quite clear, small white head. Rich raspberry jam aroma, backnotes of woody vinegar and malt. Full bodied, lively carbonation, slightly clingy texture. Sweet raspberry jam flavour on the body, well balanced with a slight tartness and woody dryness. Easy drinking, yet well flavoured fruit beer. Not as full on as a lambic.

Draught. A bit too syrupy in flavour for my liking.

Unlabelled hand-wrapped 37.5cl bottle into tumbler glass. A clear reddish brown beer with a small but lasting cream-pink head. Nose of antiseptic sweet raspberries rather like a similarly flavoured throat lozenge. Tastes similar with a Ribena-like medicinal quality. Contains none of the lambic tartness that characterise the best Belgian framboise beers. An alcopop beer for your teenage daughter.

Bottle, bought @ some Sainsbury’s.
Pours clear chestnut with a small, frothy, red-pink head. Aroma is lightly sugary sweet, but with a good dose of fresh raspberries. Prickly, lowish carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly tart, fair amount of raspberries, and some clear sugary sweetness. Light barnyard feeling to the finish. Okay.

Red brown with a small pink head. Aroma of dusty raspberry juice. Dry raspberry flavour with a fruity sweetness.

FROZEN CABBIES BAR CHUM ! I wasnt expecting great things but was happily surprised by this. Where Fruli is bright and radioactive, the Bacchus was dark and brooding in colour. The smell and flavour was raspberries but it really didnt overpower me. I could still taste beer in the aftertaste and although it faded and tasted a bit artificial in the end I did enjoy drinking this
