Copenhagen 25/8 2018. 37,5 cl bottle from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh Ø. Handful of Raspberries on the label.

Pours hazy deep red with medium sized, bubbly, pink head. Settles as thin, patchy layer of foam clinging to the side of the glass. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is fairly intense with a quite fresh, fruity and sugary streak. Raspberry and white sugar with light and quite subdued sour notes.

Medium strong carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lively anf tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with rather strong sweetness followed by a light sourness. Aftertaste is sourish with a notable sweet undercurrent. Lingers shortly.

Comes across pretty fresh and not nauseatingly sweet.

Dark red color with, nice pink head. Strong raspberry aroma with hint of yeast. Raspberries taste with a pleasant tartness. Maybe this is not what I expected from beer, but very tasty!

Look: Deep, super dark red with a high pink head that is slow to recede.
Smell: A little weak, but a pleasant and inviting raspberry scent is present.
Taste: Excellent. A superbly delicious juicy sweet raspberry combines with a bitter yeasty finish.
Feel: Low in the mouth yet medium bodied.
Overall: Absolutely outstanding beer, too bad that I waited so long before I finally bought one. I would highly recommend this world-class beer.

 

 

I got a mixed 4pck of bottles of this beer from my son's former teammate whom stopped by for Thanksgiving. It poured a clear grape/raspberry amber with very thin white ring head that is not leaving any lace. The scent and taste was closely related to raspberry rancher. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

 

 

 

Had Framboise poured from 12-oz. capped & corked bottle, label stamped "L BB07TFR" and "8823," apparently indicating bottled on 02/07/2020, into Teku tulip 3.0.

Pours deep ruby red with clarity and 1- to 2-finger pink, foamy head, with good retention and a persistent film, leaving some sketchy Belgian lace down the glass. Huge aroma of raspberries and a little funk aroma off pour, which continue with the fruit aroma moderating to reveal a little more funk, and a little herbal and some tarter citrusy aromas as warms. On tasting, huge, somewhat tart raspberry flavor up front, which drops a little, barely revealing the slim but crisp and dry wheat and malt backbone, and a little funk as warms, before a very drying, moderately tart, still very fruity finish.

The raspberry lover's refreshing, uncomplicated dream.

Poured into a Lindemans stange. Pours a dark reddish orange with a fine, medium raspberry colored head with great retention and solid lacing; looks nice. Aroma of rustic yeast, mild grainy malt, fresh raspberry and a hint of yeasty bread. Flavor is bready malt, raspberry juice and hints of lemon and green apple. Tart and sweet, with a sweet/tart finish leaning to a sweet aftertaste. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. I haven't had a fruit lambic for a while and decided to try this classic. I'm not a fan of tart beers in general, but I do like the sweet and tart flavors of this style of lambic, which are so much like the juices they are blended with. This one has a fine raspberry flavor and a subdued, but supportive malt base. Tastes like it has a higher ABV than it does. Authentic tasting fruit and refreshing. Nicely done and looks great.

Smells strongly of raspberries
Low-Medium carbonation
Medium-heavy mouthfeel
Taste really strong of raspberries. Tart, sour, kind of sweet finish. Some funky taste. Strong flavors makes this a sipper.
Overall pretty good for this style. I thought this bottle would be too small to enjoy, but it actually is a good size for it. Drink it like how you would drink red wine.

 

Fills a Lindemans flute a gem-clear, deep ruby red. One-half inch of fine fuscia bubbles provides a short-lived cap.

The aroma is a powerful punch of raspberry puree. It is very sweet, with a light tartness.

The flavor is extremely sweet and dominated by raspberry jam. Pomegranate and cranberry juice are also evident. The tartness, while less than sweetness, is still a major player. The finish is long and dominated by tartness.

This beer has a light body and slippery texture. Unsurprisingly, there is no hint of alcohol.

This is probably best as a summer brunch treat but would also work well as a dessert beer.

 

It's been a while since I've had Framboise, but it's one of the most drinkable beers I've ever had the pleasure of trying. Fruity on the nose and on the palate, it's an excellent gateway beer for the uninitiated. Tart and tasty and isn't a terribly fussy drink due to its low ABV and berry-forward flavor. You could easily polish off a whole bottle on your own without a second thought.
