The story of Frambush is first and foremost the story of a beautiful encounter. The encounter of raspberry beer and Bush Caractère. This hoppy pleasure has existed for a long time in form of a cocktail mixing the two beers. Until one day… the brewery decided to tie the knot and… two became one : Frambush.

Launched in 2022, Frambush is the result of the meticulous work of our brewers, seeking the perfect balance between the strength of Bush Caractère and the subtlety of natural raspberry extracts. A clever blend that will undoubtedly delight strong fruity beers lovers.

Speaking of strong fruity beers, the Frambush joins the Peach Mel Bush, enlarging the brewery’s range of fruity beers …. Don’t you think it’s time to meet these two ?

330ml bottle. Murky, darkest purple colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, pink-ish, off-white head. Sweet-ish, fruity aroma, notes of raspberry, raspberry pulp, some fruit acidic aspects, later minimally earthy and leafy raspberry aspects as wel; widely disguised, caramel malty backgroundl. Taste is sweet-and-sour fruity, notes of raspberry, raspberry pulp, some fruit acid, citric acid, additional caramel malty sweetness in the last third. Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying, simultaneously minimally astringent palate, fine, creamy, mildly prickly carbonation. Intense raspberry flavours, widely disguised base beer; admittedly sweet and minimally artificial, not for the purist of course - but very tasty.

Bush Caractère flavoured with concentrates of raspberry and other red fruits (but primarily raspberry), actually the bottled version of a cocktail young people were already creating themselves several years ago - for the sweet tooth and the alcohol kick but nothing else, no doubt. Bottle from the Delhaize at the Sterre in Ghent. Thick and dense, foamy, plaster-like lacing, pale pinkish-tinged off-white, very frothy, tiny-bubbled and stable head, clear deep amber-coloured 'dark orange' robe - dark enough to make it difficult to visually distinguish the bubbles. Aroma of molten raspberry-flavoured ice cream and industrial raspberry jam, red Haribo candy and 'poepkens' (ugh), chewing gum, white bread dough, green banana, some red apple, freshly ironed cotton cloth hinting at pasteurisation, vague lemon-ish ascorbic acid even if this is apparently not used, hint of wodka. Sweet onset, very sugary and unsuprisingly dominated by raspberry-flavoured red candy and raspberry ice cream effects, some banana and sweet red apple underneath and also a side note of candied cherries; the sugar sticks to the teeth till the end, over a fizzily carbonated, supple bready-doughy pale malt character which succumbs under the weight of the sugar and the artificial raspberry flavouring. Very vague floral hop bitterish touch in the end along with notable and badly hidden, wodka-like alcohol; all the while, this sweet red raspberry candy flavour keeps ruling everything. Yet another typical Belgian 'rouge' - and apart from, perhaps, industrial strong and / or flavoured lagers, I cannot think of any beer genre I loathe more. I can see the appeal this boozy candy liquid has to the young crowd, but then they very urgently need to be educated about actual beer. Not even the worst rouge I had so far, admittedly - but I would even prefer that equally sickly sweet Pêche Mel Bush over this ridiculous and embarassing concoction. Dubuisson had better leave the cocktail as it was instead of trying to cash in on it.

A: raspberries in a sugary way, mellow fruity touch. T: full malty base, raspberries in artificial way, bit lemon, red berries touch, white sugar, medium carbonation, at least decent bitterness, nothing memorable here.
