La Choulette Framboise
This is, quite possibly, the best fruit beer I have ever had. It isn’t quite a lambic – it lacks the intense carbonation and sourness that lambics generally impart. Also, it isn’t simply a ‘fruit beer’ on the caliber of a Blue Dog Ale or a Strawberry Blonde. Rather, the fruit really becomes the beer – The pour is a deep ruby red and is slightly cloudy. The aroma explodes with raspberry – literally like smelling a bushel of raspberries – it’s terribly pleasant. The initial taste in the mouth is quite sweet becoming slightly tart at the back of the mouth. The sweetness isn’t syrupy or overbearing. Rather, it is crisp and refreshing and doesn’t seem to get old. The aftertaste maintains some of the tartness on the sides of the mouth. This is absolutely great – a fabulous summertime beer and one both the ladies and the fellas will enjoy.
