Commercial Description:
This lambic is brewed using the same techniques as the Belgian Lambics which are produced in a small area near Brussels. Framboise means raspberries were added and we added over 40 pounds of fresh ripe raspberries to this rare style brew. The result is a beer that is very light with delicate clove, spice and fruit aromas and flavors.

Cloudy brownish appearance. Has a creamy white head and very nice lacing, looks very attractive. Sweet perfumy aroma that is reminiscent of many sweet fruit lambics I’ve tasted. However, I do not smell any raspberries. The initial palate is very flat, virtually no carbonation. Not as sweet as I expected, but the tartness of the raspberries is ever present. Not sure if this is really lambic as the description implies, but I certainly do not detect any plain old beer characteristics in it like fruit beers have. Sweey attractive aroma carries on thru the tasting session and seems to affect the way I taste the beer. Finish is mild and not bitter the least. A very interesting and unique taste experience. This is one of the better beers I had the pleasure of tasting at Red Star. Red Star, a nice place to taste beer!
