Brussels Framboos

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

On tap kafe Belgie, Utrecht. Aroma of artificial raspberry juice. Clear, dar-red coloured with a typical pink head. Taste is very sweet, a bit artificial, loads of bubblegum and offcourse fruity. Yuk.

Bottled. Huge pink head. Pale red colour. Aroma of strong raspberry, with something unclean..maybe metal or yeast. A bit damp. The taste is a bit disappointing - could be more distinct and sour. This is blend and a bit unbalanced. Quite ok, but nothing special.

(Bottled) Almost clear, deep ruby red with a large, pink and foamy head. Very sweet raspberry-candy aroma with a hint of acidity, but no sourness. Some acidity in the flavor, which is a bit artificially raspberryish, and quite - but not as sweet as the aroma suggests. Quite sugary-sticky, somewhat acidic palate with foamy carbonation. Very sweet and not the most pleasant-tasting, but an ok dessert drink if you cannot get hold of a real lambic.

Bottled. Overwhelming sweet raspberry aroma. Deep red color, pink head, good lace. Sweet & sour, light dry bitterness, strong raspberry icecream flavor, rather full. Although I’m not a big fan of beers like these I can appreciate this one.

Red-orange body, huge pink head, some laces; The aroma is actually not to bad, lots of raspberry, and this one actually smells of Raspberry (real ones, at least how real ones smell in Denmark), it is backed by slight malt aromas, not super complex, but fresh and pleasant; Big soft carbonation, fruity acidy and sweet body, a bit to thin; To short finish, again fruity acidy but less then in body, lots of aroma and it stays long. Not bad at all! I think I will finish it with a piece of freshly baked Brownie. Yes, great!

Bottled(250ml). -red wine coloured, small pinkish head, artificial raspberry nose. Fizzy. Raspberry yoghurt aroma with moderate sweet, mild wheaty and strong sour notes. Not so pleasant metallic finish.

25cl bottle. Poured medium reddish / orange color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of raspberries (both sweet and tart). Tastes of sweet berries with a light tart finish. Somewhat on the artificial side. Thinne body.

Bottle. Raspberry youghurt aroma, sulphury notes. Orange golden, low head. It really is like the youghurt I buy in the store here, somewhat artificial, metallic lemonny finish. sparkly, lightbodied. Sweet aftertaste.
