Take a sniff of our raspberry Lambic-inspired ale, pFriem Frambozen, and huge perfumy aromas of fresh fruit will tease your nose. Take one sip and your taste buds will be embraced by the flavors of lavender and fresh jam before the tart, prickly finish will make you long for another.

Half hazy, lacy amber-pink goblet pour at North Park while my wife is itching for me to call a cab.
Smell is cold raspberries, sour apricot & faded citrus peel, no funk.
Tart but not terribly. Steel-like bitterness upfront, wheat, prickly raspberry, a bit thin.
Dusty, acidy, medium tartness that falls off.
Felt like I was drinking a tart wheat beer rather than lambic.
Okay.

375 c&c from Tavour. Pours dark rosé with a pinkish smear. Slightly tart ripe raspberry aroma. Med body. Flavor is slightly tart raspberry with light wood astringency. Very dry. Tart stands in for bitter. Very good flavor.

Bottle. Nice orange color with white head. Aroma is super raspberry, a bit very tart. Taste is nice raspberry jam, a bit acidic in the back. Rather soft moutb hfeel and carbonation. Not bad!

12.7 oz corked and caged. About a year and a half old. Aroma is raspberry, Band-Aid, medicinal. Pours slightly hazy ruby red with a crackling, quickly dissipating head. Taste is highly sour (9/10) with flavors of raspberry, lemon; the medicinal and Band-Aid flavors are there in flavor, but not as in your face as in the nose. Flawed but drinkable.

Draft at Craft Brewed for CBC. Pours a clearish, ruby color with a half finger of rose colored foam that dissipates to a ring. Lovely raspberry forward nose with strawberry, oak, musty cobwebs and faint cherry. Smooth with a nice musty flavor on the palate. Some light sweetness, but leans on the drier side. Would work very well with food or dessert. Lingering musty wood, wet hay and raspberry notes. Very enjoyable.

Funky frambroise, interesting stuff. Lots of funk on the nose but good flavor.
