Belle-Vue Framboise

Brewed by Belle-Vue (InBev)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium

Bottle. Raspberry wine aroma and some woody notes. Sweet with a touch of acidity. Slightly artificial.

Great beer. Rasberry’s make it a bit sweet but the sourness is there more than the Kriek.

Sampled alongside Jacobins Framboise max. It comes out favourably.. it’s not as sweet (which is probably a good thing), the Raspberry is less overpowering, it has far more body, and it tastes more like a beer. Despite the less sweet character, it’s still a very accessible and easily obtainable fruit lambic.

Muddy red-brown. Thin off-white head w/ pinkish hue. Mildly tart, very sweet raspberry juice aroma w/ some woody notes. Medium, lightly acidic feel. Very sweet raspberry flavour w/ some lightly acidic sourness. Also some oak and iron notes.

Aroma of fruit, raspberry. Brown, with a little red in it. Medium head, quickly gone. Flavor is first fruity, then a little sour, finishing with some notes of bisquit.

Light red colour, only very faint fruit nose. The taste in the mouth is somewhat harsh, and neither fruity nor alcoholic. The aftertaste though is more fruity and pleasant. A quite bland, obviously mass-marketed fruit beer

Pinkish beer with raspberry aroma and taste - slightly artificial. Pleasent mouthfeel. I like their kriek better.

An amber beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is very powerful and totally dominated by raspberries - no sourness or other hints of the wildfermentation. The flavor is sweet and totally dominated by raspberries - again no hints of the wild fermentation. A boring framboise if You like the wild fermented beers - but if You like sodapops this will be a winner.
