Liefmans de Boomgaard Framboise

Formerly brewed at Liefmans (Moortgat)
Style: Fruit Beer
Oudenaarde, Belgium

These guys seem to miss the mark all the time. Too much like tart soda pop. Slightly syrupy. Not a fan.

im suprised that this is a fruit beer and not a lambic. looks like a lambic, does not look, taste, or smell like a fruit beer. pours a dark blood red with a small light pinkish head. smell is raspberry, a little malt, and some sweetness that i cant put my finger on. taste is sour raspberry, a touch of the malts, ends a little bitter and tart, leaves mouth on the dry side. my second try of a fruit beer, lindemans is better.

Tart raspberries on the nose. Pours cloudy red with a thin white head. Tart and sweet, fruity, it starts out right but has an artificial aftertaste.

bottle. poured hazy pink, with a moderate sized pink head. mildly tart raspberry syrup aroma. Taste is comparable to raspberry soda, with unnatural raspberry syrup flavor. Syrupy mouthfeel. I’m not a fan.

OK lambic. I don’t really think anyone reads all of the comments on these beers, they probably just check the percentile ratings like I do. The numbers don’t lie.

Sweet berry aromas. Very sweet and tasty but lacking any beer character. Wine coolerish.

Sweet raspberry jam flavor and aroma, a bit more tart in the finish then the Lindamans. Not earthy and funky enough yeast character that makes some of the fruit lambics really good, this is more like an after dinner treat.

Bottle. Strong raspberry scent. Pink rose pour. More sweet than tart. Sticky, medium body.
