Lindemans Framboise Raspberry Lambic Ale (750ml) Short History Lindemans Framboise is a jewel in the crown of Belgian brewing, carrying on the centuries-old tradition of the Lambic. Originating in the Zenne Valley, the spontaneously fermented base ale is uniquely sour and complex. This young lambic is then blended with a generous infusion of fresh, whole raspberries (Framboise in French). The berries trigger a second fermentation while contributing a vibrant, deep red color and an intensely aromatic, beautifully balanced fruit flavor. Key Features: Rich Color and Intense Fruit Aroma Framboise is celebrated for its deep complexity, making it an excellent choice for a dessert beer or a unique celebratory toast. Style: Fruit Lambic (Framboise / Frambozen) Origin: Vlezenbeek, Belgium ABV: Typically around 2.5% - 3.5% (Very light and smooth) Volume: Commonly available in 750 ml bottles (ideal for sharing or gifting) Color & Clarity: A rich, inviting ruby-red color with a lively, pink-tinted head. Tasting Notes: An immediate, powerful aroma of fresh, ripe raspberries.

Food Pairing Notes The dessert-like character and rich fruit profile of Framboise make it perfect for pairing: Desserts: An exceptional partner for chocolate desserts, particularly dark chocolate mousse or truffles, cheesecake, or any berry-based dessert.
