Raspberry beer from De Plukker, the brewery and organic hop farm in the old hop growing region of Poperinge. Very thick and foamy, audibly crackling, densely paper-lacing, large-bubbled, irregular but quite stable head on a misty peach blonde beer with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of sweet white raspberries indeed, even a touch of raspberry bushes, honey, bread crumbs, white grapes, apple juice, ripe green kiwi, granulated sugar, prosecco, roses, hint of grass, dried rosemary, fresh tomato touch. Very fizzy onset, tingling overcarbonation distracting from the flavours; very fruity, sweetish but nowhere cloying, with indeed a touch of ripe sweet white raspberry but not overwhelmingly so and paired with hints of kiwi, red apple and peach; light sourish side effect from the fruit, but nowhere near actual tartness. Smooth middle, white-bready and cereally, light-bodied, with spicy elements clashing a bit with this raspberry juiciness and sweetness; floral hoppiness in the end, providing a gentle bitterish aspect while retronasally, a vague fresh (even somewhat 'green') tomato aspect linked to the raspberry appears, along with something 'dusty'. Quite distinct, this little fruit beer, with raspberry being noticeable in the nose more than in the actual taste; no doubt the very fizzy character has something to do with fermented fruit sugars, but this is not our classic in-your-face sweet 'framboise' beer at all, rather a spritzy, summery, elegant, bready and yeasty blonde with a dash of subtle raspberry thrown in. Not unpleasant, if you like fruit beers that are not artificially sweetened and feel 'natural', with a highly quenching character. Better than expected, even if this kind of fruited 'apéritif' beers is not really my thing.

Pours agressivly foamy, pillowy yet fast fading, making room for 'some' beer, that is blond, and rather unclear. Smell is malty, mostly. Typical BE yeast, mild hop touch (earthy) . Bit of an undefined 'jammy' touch, light yet recognizable, just not specifically raspberry. Taste is of raspberry is there, not as jammy as expected, but short in time, over a base of what seems like a very generic belgian blonde. Very high carbonation level, medium body. nothing bad about it, just nothing to go crazy over, nor exceptionnal.

T: malty, vaguely fruity, bit spicy, honey, raspberries are quite hidden here yet ok not very artificial sweet fruity so ok for me, medium body and carbonation, almost enjoyed.

21/IV/19 - 33cl bottle from L'Héritage (Poperinge), shared @ Paasbrunch (Arno & Meggy's), BB: I/2020 - (2019-581) Thanks to Kristel & Hendrik for getting me this beer! Made with the organic berries from my friend, Wim!
Could've been first, damn backlog! :p And to say I've had this beer in my fridge for months already...
Little cloudy orange beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: raspberries up front, bit spicy, some yeast, dusty, coriander. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sourish, raspberries indeed, pretty dry, little bitter, some spices. Aftertaste: spicy and dry, soft acidity, quite some raspberries again, bitter touch. Overall a pretty nice fruit beer!
