Girardin Framboise

Brewed by Brouwerij Girardin
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Sint Ulriks-Kapelle, Belgium

Bottle. Creamy white but short lived head. Hazy red body. Apparently with a lot of life in it whether it is carbonation or just the yeast. Solid fresh raspberry aroma. Strange though not unpleasant creamy mouthfeel. Flavor of raspberries and mild acidity.

Beautiful pink head on a red and deep orange body, beautiful laces; Deep complex nose, very pleasant but could be a bit more up-front, super balanced mix of sour, sweet, fresh, age. It has raspberry, orange, wood, sour and dry notes, very, very pleasant; The body has a very special texture and carbonation, that melts together with an oily feel with out being the least sticky and still staying super fresh, quite full, a little sour and a very little salty; Into a very long finish where the aroma is super mellow and flows out softly, the acidity is very pleasant and stays very long. Super, super, super beer!

Brown-pink colour. Strong fruit aroma. The taste is a blend of fruity sweetness and tartness with a sharp bitter edge. I thought it was delicious.

Bottle. Pours a red-brown body with an off-white pinish head. The aroma is very flowery with notes of raspberries and oak. Flavour profile tends to be more of a straight fruit beer as the wheat and bretty character are mostly non-existant. There is lots of juicy fruit but the carbonation is quite high and not pleasant. Purchased at Streekproductencentrum in Halle, Belgium on May 11, 2006.

The best Framboise Lambic I have had. It smells like sweet but annoying fruit. Tastes like cheese cake with framboise mermelade. Very nice, It is extremelly good. BUt I thought it was a velle veu.

Pours a dark reddish brown. Extremely pleasant raspberry aroma spreads around the room. Taste is woody and tart, rather dry but still nicely fruity.

Bottle. Clear orangey red with a small head after the initial flooding when the bottle was opened. Overpowering sweet raspberry aroma. The flavours are slightly more complex, still sweet with lots of raspberry, but drying out towards the finish with some woody and tart notes. Quite fizzy. Rather good, but light-years away from their black label oude geuze.

Bottle. Clear orange red coloured with a pink head. Sweet aroma of raspberries with notes of wood. Light acidc flavour of raspberries with notes of wood.
