Boon Framboise

2008 Bottle. Aroma of raspberries (obviously). Sourness dominates the flavor. A decent lambic but nothing more.

37.5cl corked bottle. Pours a dark burgundy color with a very light pink head that did not stay. Strong aroma of raspberries. Flavors of sour raspberries and some oaks, some apples. Little carbonation and little dry ending. Rich taste but very light and easy to drink with some sweetness.

330mL Bottle. Best by 13.02.2011 (a 2006?) Flickr(http://www.flickr.com/photos/26049401@N08/3880118908/) An interesting mix of cooked and fresh raspberries jams up the nostrils. A pungent touch of cheesy funk meets with pastry dough. Very soft and inviting. A bit of spiciness on the back draw. Pours a dingy red-tinted brown, with a well lacing rose foam. Flavor moves from light wheatiness towards a jam-like berry character and then a strong finish in black raspberry coulee. Some alcohols alight in the nostrils, bringing bramble leaves, oak, and cobwebs. I find this a touch watery, thin, and cellar musty. Not the densest, most potent fruit lambic. Body could use some improvement.

Aroma is overwhelmingly framboise. Appearance is clear red with no head at all. Flavor is enjoyable, but nothing special, a hint of raspberries but not that much. Palate is confined to sweet.

Bottle 37,5 cl from Dranken Geers, Belgium. Deep redwine-red colour with a pink inch-high head. The Aroma is thick with almost "artificials" raperries...they are propably real....impressive. The taste is lolly-like. Ágain alot of sweet berries but not much sourness which I really prefer in my lambics. Still its a good and gentle taste that propably would suit most people. Medium oily mouthfeel. The finish is sweet with some bitter grape untertones.

75 cl bottle. Bright red color, rich fruit aroma, good blend of sweet and sour. Lots of raspberries in the flavor. Rich and tasty but a bit fake-tasting. Ok.

Bottle. 2002 i believe. Pours a brown tea body with a thin bubbly lacing. Tart chewy raspberries, a bit woody with some tanic notes. Most of the flavor is diminished, a bit woody dry and mostly devoid of fruit and in its place oxidation notes. No acidity or much else to speak of oh well.

Pours a murky dark red color with lots of floaties and a medium pinkish white head. The aroma has raspberries and tartness. The flavor is slightly tart and there’s of course raspberries, I would have liked some funk, but didn’t find any. The body is light to medium with low carbonation. Not bad, but not impressive at all.
