Presentation: Recently sampled at Philippe II, which is situated in the quiet town Philippeville, itself in the province of Namur, Belgium.
33cl brown glass bottle decorated with both a main and neck label. Has the words La Framboizette written large in red text across the front main label, though the Z is capitalized and lime green in color which run downs into a picture of a luscious looking raspberry below. Above this the words élue Bière de l' Ardenne Namuroise 2005, which I think roughly translates as elected Namurian beer of Ardenne in 2005. Listed at 5.6% ABV, and yet another Du Bocq brew.
Other research since I tried it reveals It is a beer of high fermentation to which was added pure raspberry juice, during its mixing. It was born from the will former regional brewers amalgamated today in the same entity M&P Brasseries in Gedinne. This beer is carried out by the Brewery of Bocq with Purnode.
Appearance: Served in the correct glassware, an appropriate La Frambiozette goblet marked with red text. Clouded ruddy brown body. Copper tones exude a faded blood stained rusty steel torso. Light pink head has excellent staying power. Finely dissolved carbonation and gentle swirls puff up the head.
Smell: Perfumed raspberries mix with a raspberry milk shake tingle. Forced fruits take over the nose entirely; its not a bad odor but not very beer like.
Taste: Raspberry dominates the flavor profile but the sweetness is not overpowering, rather subdued in fact, maybe the malty BPA brew that was used as the base seemingly balances well with the raspberry juice.
Mouthfeel: Soft with a spritzy nature. Conditioning carries the raspberry from start to finish and way past the lingering ending. Decent feel which leaves a presence.
Drinkability: Easy going, fruity and rather nice, not half as bad as I expected, and I am no fan of Du Bocqs brews, but this was above average, though one was enough.
Overall: Yet another Du Bocq brew that seems to be brewed specially for a regional locale. Unlike other Du Bocq brews which I have tasted, I am sure that this one is not a re-badged offering but rather a new one. Not half bad, but not great either, worth trying though and not the usual sickly sweet mess that is typically encountered.
