Brussels Framboos

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

Hazy red in colour. Minor vanishing head. The aroma consists of raspberries with a sweetness. The flavour is mainly raspberries as well. But it is surprisingly watery. It has a dry aftertaste.

Bottled. Orangeish red colour with small head. Aroma is raspberries. Flavour is weak raspberry, and nothing else. Empty and very watery beer. Still it has a mouthdrying finish.

Mousse rosée pleine de bulles qui adhère sur les parois du verre. Couleur rouge-brunâtre. Sent les framboises sauvages. Bon dosage de framboises au goût. Un tantinet acidulé. Pas d’arrière-goût. Excellent.

Dark red, slightly brown color. Little vanishing white head. Strong raspberry in aroma with sweetness. Thin to medium bodied. Mild sourness in flavor, strong raspberries and sweetness in aftertaste.

Bottled (BB 05/2006)
Hazy red, small white head, some lace. A bit artifical-like sweet framboise aroma, hints of sourness. Light, sweetish rasberry flavor with a bit of sourness. Like all of these Brussels-series: no need to drink again although are not totally hopeless.

25 cl bottle. Yeast in bottom. Dark red colour allmost brown. A weak white head. Aroma of rasberry, and also in the taste but have also hints of wheat?? And ends up sour and sweet.

(Bottle 25 cl) Pierre Celis is known as the man who reintroduced Belgian witbier in Hoegaarden, and since then he’s been a great innovator with several projects. This is one of them. A line of fruitbeers based on witbier. It’s been seen before, but with 30% fruit, this much be one of the fruitiest ones. Beautiful rose color and a rather handsome and stable head. Apparent raspberry-aroma and a strange sourness, that made me think of lambic. 080804

Red/pink coloured. Very sweet and artificial. It tastes of raspberry jam. Quite thin.
