The Belgian beer style Lambic is a very special beer specialty that might seem strange to German beer drinkers. Lambic beers are spontaneously fermented and usually further processed. Geuze, Kriek and other sour beers are based on lambic beers. The Belgian brewery Lindemans specializes in unusual beer styles and produces excellent beers.
Their Framboise is a Geuze, which is a blend of various other Geuzes. After the brewing process, a raspberry concentrate is mixed into the beer. The result is a refreshing fruit beer that tastes heavenly of freshly harvested raspberries and long summer afternoons in grandma's garden.
Lindeman's Framboise is presented in a wonderfully fresh copper red with pink color reflections that sparkle beautifully when the light hits it. A pink foam crowns the exceptional beer. When pouring, Framboise delights with the stunning scent of fresh raspberries. If you close your eyes, you think you're smelling a handful of just-picked raspberries. As expected, the fruit beer is sweet on the tongue. A truckload of raspberries hits the palate and pampers the taste buds with a tangy sweetness that is accompanied and balanced by a pleasant fruit acidity. Fans of bitter Pilseners won't get their money's worth here, as the hops are very much in the background. There is a subtle florality and a barely noticeable hint of bitterness, but the dominant sweetness of the raspberry clearly masks these impressions.
Lindemans Framboise is a raspberry delight for warm summer days and winter days when you really miss summer.
