Brussels Framboos

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Fruit Beer
Ertvelde, Belgium

Bottled at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague. Hazy reddish brown, small pink head. Fresh raspberry syrup aroma. Very sweet, yet with some freshsning acidity. Light bodied, but not thin. Some metal in the finish. More credible than most of these new wave low alcohol commercial Belgian fruit beers, but I still don’t understand why I should drink it again.

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy red with a lacing and light pink head. Aroma is sweet and acidic raspberry. Flavour is light sulphorish raspberry and mild fruity with a light acidic touch. Finish is mild sweet and dry sulphorish at once. Nice one.

250 ml bottle. Deep red colour, thin white head. The aroma is all raspberry sweetness. Fizzy carbonation. Sweet and sour raspberry flavour. Tastes like spoled and carbonated raspberry juice. I love raspberries, but not in this form.

redbrown murky, with HUGE pinky soapy head. Soapy aroma with artificial raspberry sharp carbonation: too fizzy, sticky, too sweet, too sour. soap. soap. unpleasant in everything, but I’ve never left a beer undrunk.

330ml bottle (Stockman, Turku)
Deep red, hazy, fizzy head. Sweet raspberry aroma. Fizzy in the mouth. Tangy fruitiness, a little tart even. Simple light grain backdrop once the tartness fades.
Rerate: Expired bottle. Tarter, much more acidic - way better than when young, but still too sticky-sweet.

Reddish brown, lemonade head. Strong but artificial raspberry aroma. Undrinkable sugar sweet and has an underlying foulness. Sticky palate. Horrendous.

Bottle. Pours a clear reddish-brown with a wispy pinkish head. Strong aroma of rasberries. The taste is pretty sharp and full of -- surprise -- rasberries. Some underlying lambic flavor, but a touch too sweet.

Bottle. Powerfull fluffy and lasting off-white head. Carefyl when you pour it. I had it twice on my table. Hazy dark red body. Lovery raspberries aroma with a good acidity. Flavor however is relatively sweet raspberries but still with a touch of acidity. Low carbonation and a long aftertaste.
