Raspberry Brown Ale
Frambozen begins with the aroma of fresh red raspberries, followed by the ripe seductiveness of a fruity brown ale with depth and delicate malt notes. It is deep ruby in color, with flavors just as rich. Every year, New Belgium sends a delegate to the Pacific Northwest to oversee the process of turning freshly picked berries into a pure juice to be added in fermentation. The coming of Thanksgiving at New Belgium is ushered in with the first sighting of our cellar operators scuttling about, covered head to tow in a festive crimson berry wash.

Dark reddish-brown; aroma like a raspberry tart - very sweet and fruity. Fresh, seedy berry flavours at the beginning, but then giving way to the more confectionary aspects before finishing up sweet & sour. Brown ale not as present as I prefer in the style, which leaves it overall too candyish.

Very light head, red-tinted cloudy brown color, with no lacing. Surprisingly clean aroma with nice hints of raspberries. Med raspberry flavor - not overdone. Med malt presence but the brown ale character is muted (is it supposed to be a Belgian style brown ale in there?)
