Boon Framboise

Brewed by Brouwerij F. Boon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Lembeek, Belgium

It smells like carbonated cranberry juice with beer added into it. A dark red with some head and particulates. The fruit taste is not too overpowering and the palate reminds me of ginger ale and cranberry juice, or something like that. Its a bit too crazy, not really a beer, more like a carbonated fruit beverage with alcohal.

Pours Red with a tall pink head. Smells like Rasberry juice. Very sour, low carbonation and a sour aftertaste. I don’t like it.

bottle- pours red-wine color with small, pink, diminishing head. The aroma is rasberry with a tiny hint of tart apple. The taste is yeasty, with rasberry and tannin notes, reminds me of an Italian fragolino wine. Lighlty sour finish.

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@N0 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.
