Lindemans Framboise

37.5cl bottle; a month past BB date: The aroma is very raspberry-sirupy, faintly woody and citric with notes of honey and sour cherries. Dark red colour with a disappearing white head. Very sweet flavour, again reminding me of honey which is OK, I don’t mind heavily sweet beverages once in a while. Not much complexity, the sourness is reduced to a slight tickling, far from being puckering. The overall berry-fruitiness seems a bit artificial, a little like kids medicine. Quite decent and fun to drink.

12 oz. bottle, split with my dad on 11/7/09. Sweet, tart, raspberry smell. Very sweet, candy scents. Salty smell with a touch of vinegar. Remarkable but not complex aroma. Pours a bright, glowing red to magenta color. Moderate amount of pink head. Cloudy liquid with suspeneded particulate. Nice lacing. Impressive, unique appearance. Tart, winey taste. Hint of raspberry. Too sugary. Cardboard aftertaste. Light to medium body. Tangy in the palate. Not easy to drink.

Has a reddish purple color. Aroma is of raspberries. Taste is of tart raspberries. Has a raspberry aftertaste. Mmmmm tasty.

Sample #8 at 1st CST. Pours a pretty blood red with a big fluffy fizzy purple head. Aroma of raspberry jelly, halls cough drops, sweet but true. Super sweet flavor, dessertish, raspberry jelly, true raspberry flavors, enjoyable and well crafter, just not really much of a lambic. Medium bodied, not sticky at all, a bit syrupy and cloying though.

Draught. Poured pale red with a thin white head. Raspberry aroma, and a little yeast. Raspberry flavour with a little bit of tartness and hop bitterness. Very light finish. I would drink this combined with a chocolate stout, or over iced cream, but by itself it’s cloying.

Poured a clear raspberry colored body with violet head. Smelled of fresh raspberries with hints of cream. Moderate lacing. Taste mirrors smell with a mild tart finish. Carbonated mouth feel though not enough to take away from the flavor. Very good Lambic, wife will happily drink again.

37.5cl bottle. Pours an unclear dark pink with a medium size creamy pink head. Raspberry sorbet aromas. Mostly the sweet side of the raspberry is represented with a bit of tartness, finishing with a yeasty bite. Mouthfeel like a sparkling wine. Fairly one-dimensional, but quite crisp and refreshing.

Pours a rich, dark red with little head and lots of effervescence. It has an aroma of fresh berries and sugar. The taste of this beer is almost like a sparkling cider combined with bleu cheese from the natural yeast. Has a moderate mouthfeel like that of wine. This is a very good beer.
