Belle-Vue Framboise

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

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

Deep red with a whiteish head. Aromas are sweet raspberry, some mustiness with a light sourness. Flavours are sweet raspberry with dark cherries. Not much sourness or wild yeast character. Has a refreshing sparkle. As a lambic its not great but as a sweet raspberry drink it does the job.

Rosé coloured wuith a thick onctuous light pink head. Raspberry cough drops aroma with a light acidity. In mouth, a rather astringent raspberry with toothpaste, too tart and chemical. Medium bodied. Forgetable. Bought at Norte, Mendoza for 8$AR.

Light aroma of raspberry syrup. Nice rocky, lasting head with beautiful lacing on top of a clear, light orange-brown liquid. Medium body, sticky and syrupy sweet, only very slightly sour. Kind of flat, syrupy taste of raspberries, some sour apple flavors and malt as well. Doesn’t taste as clean and fresh and crisp as other Belgian lambics...another example of not being able to judge a book by its cover (lovely head and lacing!).

I generally love fruit lambics; so why have I picked a couple of dogs to start my lambic-rating career? Got me. Unlike ecrvich, I had a sample with virtually no head, but I liked the cloudy red body and the super-fruity aroma. Then I tasted it. Hit with a raspberry explosion at first, I was quickly thrown into a well of sourness the next; tasted kind of flat and stale, and very two-note. Just raspberry; then just sourness. I’ll go back to Lindemans.

liked it more the 2nd time. salty and sexy

copper coloured , light nose, with a stong fruit flavour, tasty but nothing complex .

This bottled brew labeled batch E/13/01 L.60 06H29 poured a large sized head of white colored medium sized frothy mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent orange brown colored uncarbonated body and a fair lacing. The aroma was all raspberry. The mouth feel was mild with an initial tingle and a lingering tingly palate with a raspberry aftertaste. It was semi dry and semi sweet. Did I mention the raspberries?
