Liefmans Fruitesse Framboise

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

Dark reddish color, aroma of the fruit that it is named after. Very sweet to the taste, a good desert beer if you are in to that, but not me.

Raspberry nose, but artifical. Deep rudy color. Raspberry juice taste, a little tart, dry finish. Extremely sweet.

The last on of the ugly four - I think at this point our friends wanted us to leave - hahahaha - but we served well better after that: Light raspberry nose . Thick surgar raspberry taste - almost as if two sppons full of sugar are still in the bottom of the glas. Good it comes in only small bottles. My advice would be: Freeze it and sell it as water ice popsickles - it’s gonna be a hit for kids!

Honestly, I liked this beer a fair amount. Personally I thought it was very light and tart and had some good balance between the alcohol and the fruit. Although, perhaps tart isn’t something that most people want in their beer. Whether or not this was a good "beer" is still up in the air, but I thought it tasted good =).

Bottled. These upcoming beer/fruitjuice mixes are starting to annoy me a lot I must say. And this isn’t even the worst of them.

A very artificial aroma but the taste isn’t that bad, just a bit to sweet. I think this is the best fruitesse. (Bottle 25cl)

Draft. Very dark, almost black amber. No head. Smells like raspberries. Very sweet. Tastes like fresh raspberries, just a hint of tart aftertaste. A little too sweet.

Eeuw! Not much sign of beer in this beer. Full syrup flavour diluted with something alcoholic. This is really part of a generation of beers directed at people who don’t like the taste of beer. Like Busweiser is!
