Belle-Vue Framboise

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

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.

I am happy to have made the correct decision in pouring this into a flute glass. The head formation is clean and long lasting above the expected rose coloured beer. The tart rasberry nose is a welcoming start and when tasted the pleasant flavour comes through with a hint of dry hoppiness. This is a thoroughly refreshing beer, and while being more like a light wine with fine spritzig it is eminently enjoyable.

Nice large creany head on a clear copper colored body. Nose of sour raspberry. Flavor is sweet raspberry with a nice bitter dry finish. I really like Belle-Vue Lambics because they are not as sweet as most others but more sour and bitter!

red/rose with nice medium head that holds for a little while in the flute it was served in befor dying down a bit. rather subdued berry flavours compared to the kriek and a bit of a tart/dry finish. I was a bit disappointed with this 3 y.o. after having tried the kriek. worth a try if you want a more subtle berry flavour than the kriek.

Poured pinky red clear with foamy pink-white head. Lovely aromas of raspberry. Mildly tart raspberry taste with hop aftertaste. Smooth, though you can feel the fine carbonation in your mouth.

Flavour is obviously of raspberries but not that strong. Pours pinky-red with decent head. Raspberry taste isn’t overly strong, in fact it is nicel moderated and along with the carbonation the beer is pleasant and well-balancd if unremarkable.

I don’t think this is as sweet as other Frambozenbiers and Krieks. It is not very acidic or sour either, but vey refreshing and light. This is better than Mort Subite and almost as good as Liefmans.
