Belle-Vue Framboise

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

Copper/red colored body with a thin but persistent white head. Lots of lacing. Aroma is of rasberries with a slight hint of malt. Taste is rasberries with a slightly tart finish. No signs of candy tastes. Carbonated like champagne but still smooth on the tongue. Still not as sour as I would like to balance the fruit tastes.

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

Bottle(thanks dad): not bad, not good but not bad, sweet but not too much, some sourness, some dryness, some real, not artificial, raspberries notes, very drinkable overall.

It’s a little while since I had the Kriek but from memory this one is a little less sweet which is good. Far from my normal choice but certainly an interesting beer which I would gladly try again.

Off red colour. Pours a big white head with small tight bubbles. Quite soft, lovely lacing, almost perfume like in aroma, quite tart with a woody raspberry flavour.

(Bottle BB 07/08/07; ABV 5,7%) Raspberry and wooden aroma. Red colour, clear and white, small, more or less fully diminishing head with fair lacing. Raspberry, wooden, sour and acidic flavour. Slightly sticky, medium-bodied and lively carbonated palate. 03/11/06

Not a fruit-beer fan at all, this is one in that series.

I’m really starting to like fruit beers. I had this one the other night and I was quite pleased. Had a pleasant sweet and sour taste. Real raspberry taste. Very good.
