BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Oct 13, 2008 GABF 2008. An intensely fresh raspberry nose, so fresh it reminded me of the fresh fruit cuvees we made at the Muddy Pig’s Belgian beer festival. The body was very tart and had a vegetal bite that again reminded me of incredibly fresh raspberries. mj (4971), Colorado, USA Jun 9, 2008 Draft @ Belmont Station in Portland. Pours cloudy, milky, 100% opaque red/pink with a 1/2 inch pink head. Pungent, fresh, vibrant nose of pulpy, meaty raspberries, with a light bit of lactic acid in the nose. Flavor is meat pulp raspberry, very pure and authentic flavor of the fruit. Moderate tartness, very light (but natural) sourness, a little prickly on the tongue as well. Wonderfully fresh and real flavor throughout, thirst-quenching and refreshing, with a true fruit flavor a little excess sweetness/sugariness. Really nice. beastiefan2k (1590), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Oct 13, 2008 GABF’08. Labeled just Frambozen at the fest, very different than the previous years ratings. Pours beautifully with a hazy red color. Aroma is all fresh raspberry with that fresh sourness from the raspberries. has a lively taste with a light sour bite behind that. Some faint earthiness back there as well. wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Oct 24, 2008 draft. Nice berry aroma. Red amber color. Hint of tart. Pretty nice, but not outstanding. DaSilky1 (1932), San Diego, California, USA Sep 27, 2009 GABF 2009: Nice pale red color with off-white halo. Nice sweet, vivily raspberry nose but no sourness detected. Good raspberry flavors...this is a very nice fruit beer but i dont taste any of the claimed brettanomyces or much sourness or funk at all. But for a fruit beer, its quite nice. ratman197 (3137), Arvada, Colorado, USA Oct 13, 2008 GABF 2008 poured a hazy red with a small lingering pink head. Aromas of tart raspberries with some yeast notes. Palate was light bodied and crisp with atart finish. Flavors of tart raspberries, light yeast and a hint of wood with a crisp lingering tart fginish.
