Belle-Vue Framboise

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

Vintage 2001: Overly sweetened soda like in flavor...with of course the undertone of sourness, which in this case saves the day. Not one I will ever repeat, but not awfull either.

Dark amber colour with a big, frothy pink head. Aroma was of raspberry and cream and the taste sour and fruity. Excessively fizzy. Quite a good summer drink for the ladies, considerably better than the kriek, but not really beer in my book.

Very disappointing, i prefer framboise to kriek but this was undrinkable by the time there was 1/4 left, taste of peanut butter came through to a silly level.

Pours orange/red with a white head that dissipates very fast. Very carbonated to the palate - much like a wine cooler. Very sweet raspberry Flavours with a dry baking-soda finish. Not bad, just not my stuff...

Very strong rasberry aroma. Less strong in taste, a bit sour, few alcohol, not so bad for a "Framboise beer".

Red-brown with a small white head. A watery sweet-sour taste. (Bottle 25cl)

375 ml corked bottle. Pink amber colour with a mostly diminishing creamy white head. Tart raspberry aroma and lightly medicinal notes. Straightforward raspberry flavour with a lightly dusty finish. Light bodied, fizzy, but quenching.

6 May 2005 - Mega rasberry fruit aroma, along with some hop and mild earthy/yoghurt notes. Clear red-brown colour, some head and a suds lacing. Some hops and heaps of rasberry swet fruit and a light earthiness. Some tanginess/bitterness and light mouthfeel.
