We combine fresh blueberries with our barrel-aged Lambic-inspired ale to make pFriem Bosbessen. Its aromas of ripe fruit, white pepper and tobacco lead to a bright, jammy flavor that finishes as tart and tangy as the berries themselves.

Very berried. Pfriem has mastered the lambic style and shows it with a fruity beer. Aroma is a little yeast and lots of blueberries.. Blueberry flavour with something else, not sure what it is. Finish is a little berry.

Tap. Purple color with small white ring. Aroma is blueberries, some funk, some lacto. Taste is cranberry skin, cinnamon, some milkiness. Medium sour finish with some milky yeastiness. Fizzy carbonation. A very good sour, but nowhere near Lambic goodness complexity.

375ml bottle pours out a light purple color topped with a pink head. Nose is nice berries tartness some barrel and a nice tart funk. Taste is more of the nice berries tartness sour barrel funk and more blueberry.

375 mL bottle poured, shared by Matt. Thanks! Bottle labeled as pFriem Blåbær. Pours a reddish purple color with a thin fizz head that fades slowly. Sweet mixed berry aroma. Flavor is a raspberry, blueberry like jam, with a moderate tart. Has an obvious sweet side, and a much less obvious spice side. Juicy and delicious. Very enjoyable.

Draught at Return of the Belgian Beer Fest, 9/17/16.
Deep violet-purple body shows a moderately-high clarity and a medium-sized, violet-tinged, off-white head with moderate retention.
Very heavily given to the blueberries in the nose, though they juicy, bright and authentic, so that’s certainly enjoyable. Light wheat and biscuit in the background, with a little bit of acidity, some of it fruit-derived, lingering. Pepper, spice and other such notes, again, from the blueberry. Very low on barrel influence; I don’t get any wine. No alcohol or flaw.
As mentioned in the nose, the beer is very much blueberry-driven. In fact, I get very little, if any, lambic/sour ale-like qualities. Mostly just blueberries atop a very light, rather thin, wheat beer base. Dry and somewhat watery, with blueberry juice and skin notes lingering. Rating against a Sour/Wild not a real Lambic Fruit (which this comes nothing close to).
