Belle-Vue Framboise

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

Bottle. 5.7% ABV according to the label. Bubbly chestnut to red colour, thick white head. Raspberry, sweet and slightly acetic notes in the nose. Mouth is dull raspberry, slightly sweet and lasting dullness. Dusty. Average. Rich dull palate. OK, but nothing special.

Thin head and caramel brown in the glass, lighter than expected. Tart cherry and berry fruits waft a long way from the glass. Some spice and smokey notes - quite good. Palate doesn’t show as well, nice tart, sour fruits and more smokey hints early but they fade away quite quickly, leaving a slightly dilutive fruit / flavour profile that runs out of steam. Nice finish though with smoke and hop like spice.

A dark Orange/Ruby color with a slight haze and an off-white head. Sweet berry with some wood & a slight tart scent. Very syrupy sweet up front with a bit of oakiness in the middle and just a hint of lambic tartness in the follow. As in their Kriek offering, this is fairly tasty but too sweet.

Sweet cherry malt aroma. Red brown colour with fair head. Sweet malt cherry flavour very very sweet respberry fruity flavour. Fizzy palate. Guess I am sweet enough as this one was way too sweet for me.

Pours a reddish amber with no head. Aroma is amazing-strong scent of raspberries-quite sweet. Taste was fruity-raspberries and tart. Enjoyable.

Aroma of fresh raspberries. Reddish beer with a good frothy head. Earthy raspberry flavour. Sweet taste. Not a huge fan on fruit beers but not bad.

courtesy of Miver. Poured an amber/orange olor body with a small white head. Quite a week rasberry aroma. Flavor is a watery hodge podge of rasberries, sugar, and an odd funk. Not so good.

Rose hued amber. Thin off pink head. Light carbonation. Horsebarn aroma muted by a heap of raspberry syrup. Fizzy, yet full, and tart with a dollop of raspberry sweetness. Medium bodied. Sticky and mildly cloying but far from annoying. More Lambic flavored than many fruit versions, which seem to be more about the fruit and nada about the Lambic. Finishes thinner but nicely tart and seamlessly fruity. Something I would drink for dessert, if a big, fat, hairy Stout wasn’t close by.
