Lindemans Framboise

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Fruit
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

12-oz, capped, corked, and foiled. Pours deep blackish red with a frothy pink head that quickly falls away to thin film and light lace. Nose hits you like a ton of fruits--big seedy jammy raspberry extravaganza. Smells nice and natural though. Body’s medium, not nearly as fizzy as the pour might suggest. Sticky in a pleasant way. Fruit-sugar-y to the point of tartness on the mid-palate, positively erupting with raspberry goodness. Gotta be in the mood, but this is a miraculous little mainstay of training wheels beers for a reason, and what an indispensable tool for cooking. Tasty to drink once in a while too.

Lindemans Framboise is a nice change of pace compared to traditional ales. I like the flavor, however, this fermented beverage reminds me of the drinks we used to steal from our parents in high school. Very similar to an alcoholic sparkling raspberry juice.

750 ML bottle. Almost wine like aroma, very sweet. Deep purple frothy head. Very sweet tartness. Great dessert on it’s own.

On Tap at Flying Saucer.Aroma gives off fresh jam, raspberry and citrus tones. Has a cardinal red, washed appearance. Head is nice and airy around glass ramping down into small fizzle in the center. Flavor is of course raspberry, but also reminisent of a fresh cream cheese. Palate is crisp turning into a long mellow tartness.

Bottle. Pours a dark red purple with a pink head and nice lacing. Aroma is raspberries plain and simple. The taste is much of the same, tart and tangy at first and then nice and sweet in the end. I really like Framboise its a good beer for anytime of the year.

Dark red pour with a pinkish head. aroma really sweet and fruity.Kind of a shock at first taste, very tart but finished wonderfully. This beer grows on you.

Greatly overpaid for this one ($10 for a glass), and now I see it in stores everywhere. Oh well. Really great aroma, bursting with fruit (bet you couldn’t have guessed that!!). Slightly tart in both aroma and flavor. Taste had a nice balance going with tart and sweet though. Really really delicious. Left a sticky coating in my mouth though, which is the biggest thing I dont like about fruit beers and their like.

Pours a bright red color with pink head. Aroma of sweet and sour fruit. Very appealing. Taste is sweet and sour at the same time. Dances nicely on the tongue with the fruit, the sour and the carbonation. Medium to light body but again great mouthfeel. I enjoyed it.
