Belle-Vue Framboise

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

sweet raspberry aroma, reddish/copper hue with a large frothy head, little carbonation, moderate raspberry falvour, slightly sour finish.

A little too sweet, sourness was at a nice level, but the malt,raspberries and sourness remained as 3 separate flavours, not a well integrated brew.

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.

Nothing much going on here, actually a little disappointed I chose this to taste over a bottle of Orval, but I guess I needed to try it some time. Tasted at the Belgian Beer café, Perth. Poured from the bottle into it’s own champagne flute, which pretty much summed this beer up before I even got to the first sip. Pours a clear light garnet-amber with a big and fluffy, pinkish-white head, that produced a reasonable amount of lace. Generous raspberry nose, slight white wine note, tart and acidic. In the mouth it all fell to pieces as the aroma was quite inviting. Very light bodied, watery and spritzy, it had the making of a glass of ’Passion Pop’ if it weren’t for the underlying sugary and fruity raspberry flavours that became puckeringly astringent in the back. It finishes off with a long dry tart fruit swallow that somehow managed to save it. Lacks complexity and became quite boring by the end. Commercialisation seems to have led this Lambic away from it’s roots. Not the best!!!

37.5cl bottle from Auchan labelled as La Becasse. OK so I had a cold when I had this, but that is no excuse. Russet colour with thin white head. Sweetish raspberry fruit on aroma. Some sourness in mouth but then smothered by sweetness of the fruit. More raspberry on finish with sour pip coming through. Could do with a bit less artificial fruit sweetness

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.

5,7% on the label. Raspberry in the aroma. Dusty and a bit citric. Dusty and bitter flavor with raspberry. Bitter aftertaste. Very dry and dusty mouthfeel. Ithought this was a sugary beer with artificial raspberry flavors, but this is a totally different beer. Not my favorite, though.
