La Choulette Framboise

Brewed by Brasserie La Choulette
Style: Fruit Beer
Hordain, France

[bottle] Dark red color, hazy, with a pink head. Very candy fruit like, raspberry aroma. Flavors are juicy, candy fruit, very sweet. Finishes somewhat alcoholic, with some strong fusels.

Bottle, 6%. From a distance the raspberry aroma is nice, but up close there is some plastic. Hazy red colour. Raspberry flavour, some phenol. Distinct liquorice, nice enough, but not with raspberry. Berry pit bitterness, tolerable.

Bottle at Le Quincampe, Paris
Hazy ruby color; big head. Aroma of ripe raspberries, like a jam. The flavor has little beer in it, but a quite evident raspberry jam touch, medium sweetness. A bit fake, suitable only for who likes the style.

Pours a ruby hue with a nice creme head that falls to nothing in a short amount of time. Nose is very fruity, big surprise. Almost seems to be a bit of a cotton candy edge to it as well. Nice smooth levels of taspberries are here. They don’t overpower or kill the palate. A sour edge kind of kicks in on the back side, but nothing that wrecks the experience. A smooth level of carbonation hits you on this. It’s a nice fruit beer. For my personal taste, it could be a bit sweeter, but overall I have to say that it is fairly nice.

75 cL bottle. Pours deep hazy red and with a pink head. Aroma is raspberry with a light phenol note. Flavour is sweet raspberry with a distinct underlying phenol note. Ends with a light liqourice and fruity blend, light acidity.

Dark red with a small disappearing baige head. Aroma is pretty one dimensionel, and its all about the rasberries. The flavor is sweet rasberries and nothing else, showed me why the best combination of beer and fruit is ound in the lambics. I found it was like a pale lager with tons of rasberry, and didnt like it.

bottle at O’Donnell’s in Ft Wayne - Pours red with a very thin head and has a big sweet raspberry aroma. Initially I thought I was getting a lambic, but I didn’t notice lambic funk in the aroma or flavor. I see it’s labeled a fruit beer here and that fits. Anyway, the flavor is also sweet and really dominated by the raspberries and they’re alright, but overall it’s a thin, somewhat less than impressive beer.

Red with tiny head. Raspberries dominates the rather sweet aroma. Few sour notes here. Sweet fruity flavor with raspberries, wood, discrete tart. Very refreshing though.
