Lambic

Framboise is the last in the Lindmans’ mixed four pack. This is a raspberry Lambic Beer that comes in a 2.5% ABV. This Belgian raspberry beer utilizes wild-fermented yeast, much like the rest of the mixed pack beer. This beer pours a deep red with a one-finger pink/red head. This resembles dark cranberry juice. The aroma is raspberry sweetness and sourness. The flavor is slightly tart and sour. You get a raspberry flavor, but this is not as strong as the other fruit flavors. The mouthfeel is light. Then this Lambic finishes with a tart and sour raspberry flavor. Aftertaste is more raspberry, but on the lighter side. That aftertaste lingers for a short moment. I found this one to be delicious and an A. But this is a slightly darker flavor overall. That’s because the raspberry is a slightly darker fruit. Which of the four is the best? That would be the Kierk Cheery Lambic Beer. That is because the cherry really shines on that beer. It was just the right amount of fruit flavor to sourness/tartness. Overall, balanced. The peach is good, but the peach does come on strong, and so does the carbonation. The apple lacks apple flavor. But there is just barely enough apple flavor and a good amount of carbonation. In conclusion, all of the Lindman’s Lambic fruit beers are delicious and worth drinking. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Pêche is a Peach Lambic Beer from Lindeman’s mix four pack. It is a wild yeast. It is also a wild fermented beer with peaches from Vlezenbeek, Belgium. This beer is 2.5% ABV. Peach is my favorite fruit flavor. This beer is from 30% fresh peach juice. It has been around since 1987. This beer pours golden with no visible head. The aroma is sweet with fresh peaches and a bit of light sourness. The flavor is lightly sour and sweet, from the peach flavor. This lambic beer has a good amount of carbonation. The mouthfeel is light. This lambic finishes with a peach flavor that is sweeter and less sour. The aftertaste of this beer is of lingering peach. This beer is good, my favorite so far. I do have one left. This Pêche gets an A+. This beer has very delicately delicious flavors. If you haven’t had this, then you are missing out. I highly recommend it. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Now here is a fascinating style of beer, Framboise. The Framboise style comes from Belgium and is from barley, unmalted wheat, and wild yeast. After spontaneous fermentation, then fruit added after that. Then secondary fermentation occurs. This Lambic beer has raspberries add to it. This brewery has been doing this since 1811. In my own opinion, they brew some of the best Lambics. This Lambic here has a low alcohol level of 2.7% ABV. It could be deadly due to the great fruitiness and just how tasty it is. It also has a large amount of carbonation. This beer is one of the only beers I have seen with both a pry-off cap and a cork. Well, I must say this one has been in my refrigerator for almost a year> I am not sure, but it seems close, and I have one left. I like to give a shoutout to an Instagram friend Champagnesupernovax, and she said she wants to try this and is looking forward to reading this. Enjoy! Please follow her if you’re on Instagram. This Framboise Lambic pours a dark red, almost blood-red color, very dark with no light seen through this, and there was a light red rose or radish one and a half finger head that was a bit slow on the fade. This beer has a good raspberry scent, and there is a yeasty smell there with a big sweet fruit candy-like scent too. It’s all nice on your nose. When you taste this, you get a raspberry syrup taste that is tart, both sweet and bit sour. It’s a good sour, nothing overpowering. I found this to have a much different wheat taste that I am used to with wheat or wheat-like beer. It wasn’t malt-forward wheat to it like some. You do get a yeast flavor, but it’s more of a less uniform yeast or average yeast flavor that you would get in other yeasty beers. Please, when you get to the middle of the glass and give it a nice swirl to mix the yeast, wheat, and raspberries. But as this Framboise Lambic hits the back of you get a little good tart raspberry. This finish is a bit more tart than the start, but it finishes nice and is very pleasing on you’re taste buds. The overall tart raspberry flavor here. I would give this beer an A+. You can have this fresh or cellar it a while, but when you do have it, serve this at 38 – 41 F. I have always liked this style, just so different from other beer styles and just easy to drink and is refreshing with fruit flavors here. Brouwerij Lindemans Framboise is a great place to start. You should pick one up. I highly recommend you do. Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
