Featuring odd pink-headed copper-bodied combination and natural fruit flavor, sour-fruited Belgian retains up-front raspberry theme and vinous white grape pucker to blanched black cherry soda finish. Could be more assertive considering lambic tag, but experienced drinkers should try it out.

Fruitful copper-hazed pink-highlighted oak-seasoned farmhouse brew confronts cavernous sour raspberry frontage with dry-hopped cherry pungency, green apple gape, and tannic red grape tartness. At wheat-husked finish, tangy citric authority enhances dry white wine reminder.

More approachable but less enticing than Lindeman’s Framboise. Ruby-magenta-hued fruit ale brings circuitous raspberry tartness to tannic grape esters, medicinal black cherry tang and sour boysenberry-cranberry quip. Musk-y spicing absorbed by carbolic champagne-soda flow.

Ample sweet ‘n sour raspberry puree tartness inundates snazzy ruby-reddish pink-headed lambic. Dry oak-aged red grape tartness, cherry wine sweetness and strawberry-seeded goop underpin discernible raspberry overture. Light balsamic vinegar souring contrasts syrupy berry sinew. Could pass as mouth puckering Merlot or fine Cabernet, or perhaps, a delightful raspberry spritzer.

From its raspberry-doused cork and pink-headed magenta hue to its extremely ripe sweet-tart raspberry edginess, this aged-in-oak Belgian ale is probably a better aperitif than marginal red wines. Zesty citric pep and pomegranate-juiced cranberry-cherry-strawberry souring help define distinguished character of truly original brew. Eye-squinting raspberry tartness inundates resilient sour grape pungency and syrupy caramel malting, getting musty by sherry finish. Mighty fine fruited dessert fodder.

Crucial Belgian-styled framboise set the stage for many American-bred Euro-based fruit ales to compete favorably. Ripe raspberry-juiced fermentation of ruby-hazed pink-blushed medium body stays sublime above syrupy cherry soda tartness and lightly creamed vanilla sweetness. Vinous lemon-soured red grape, cranberry, rosé  and champagne pucker contrasts sugary candy apple glaze. Tertiary Victoria plum, strawberry, elderberry, apricot and tangerine illusions embellish slim floral bouquet. Prickly hop pep gives busy framboise its soda-like carbolic fizz. Compares favorably to redoubtable New Glarus Raspberry Tart.
