Mort Subite Framboise

Brewed by Mort Subite (Alken-Maes / Scottish & Newcastle)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Kobbegem, Belgium

Brown - reddish beer with a nice white head. A sweet raspberry aroma. The flavour is too sweet and artificial for me. (Corked Bottle 37.5cl)

this sofisticated lambic ale from belgium has considerable carbonation.the bubbles are small.this pleasant red ale is moderately sour and best served cold. its rasberry flavor is so fresh it makes you think of hot summer days.

perfect summer beer. i buy this often chill it and enjoy att he BBQ. nice flavour but still has a slight bit of tartness. very nice.

Hazy orange with a subtle pink-tinged head. Aroma of sour raspberries, a little sharp. Sweet berry fruit flavour with some mustiness and a tart finish that keeps this enjoyable to the end. I didn’t find this to be overbearingly sweet as some raters did; the tartness/sourness really balanced it out.

Farily obvious, but the aroma was of raspberries. A little less obvious was the vinegry smell that became more pronounced as the beverage warmed. Beautiful, clear raspberry red body with generous, long lasting pink head was very appealing. Exceptional flavor of raspberries, oak, hops and barley malts tempered by belgian yeasts. The palate was very bright, bubbly and watered and just made me want to drink faster. In all this is a very refreshing beverage that I wouldn’t drink at my best friend’s bachelor party.

Hazy reeddish-brown hue, with a white pinkyish head, intense sweet raspberry nose, with a faint tartness, and minimal wet oakiness, follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet raspberry purée character, with a mild acidic raspberry fruitiness accent, a subtle tartness, leading towards a fruity lambic tartness finish, leaning towards a more commercial aspect of the lambic family.
