Belle-Vue Framboise

Bottle, 25 cl. Clear pinkisch red color, thick white (pinkisch shine) head. Aroma sweet and raspberry. Thin to medium body. Taste: mouth is dull raspberry, sweet.

Not quite as good as the kriek. Amazingly sniffable, but perhaps a bit overpowering in the sweetness stakes, to the point of being a bit sickly. Great in small quantities, and an excellent alternative to Benedryl.

Bottle a nice not to sweet fruit beer. The smellof raspberry is overwhelming. One of the better rasberry beers

Bottle RIch and bright red. Tight white head. Sharp raspberry sweetness, but full smooth and milky maltness. Mellow and refreshing.

Bottle: Poured a reddish orange amber color with a light reddish white head. Aroma was sour berry and water. Sour raspberry and malt that finished bland.

Bottle -- Surprisingly attractive pale amber with a largish, fairly dense head. Not much retention but some lacing. Aroma of pure lolly water and nought else. Palate is watery. Flavour is unpleasantly medicinal. A sharp yet thin and artificial bitterness right at the end. I can’t find anything pleasant or interesting in this stuff.

A Mes rate: Bottle at some random pub in Marylebone. Acrid synthetic sweet framboise. Cheap rubbish and everyone knows it.

bottled. One of my very first Belgian beers and its still a good’un. Watery brown colour with thin head. Light aroma of raspberries and flowers with some earthy notes. Taste ot match - flavour is a bit thin. Bubbly and sweet with a dry finish.
