Description
Long before hops were common in most beers, various fruits and vegetables were used to season beers. The acidity of Lambic beers blends perfectly with raspberries. The result is a fresh fruity drink with the background of the rich bouquet of Lambic (for a detailed description of lambics, search for Lindemans “Cuvee Rene” in the Beer Finder). In origin, this sweet-acid drink was obtained by adding fresh raspberries to a barrel Lambic of 6 months young. The addition of fruits provokes a new fermentation in the oak barrels. After another 8 to 12 months, only peels and stones left and the Framboise-Lambic is ready to be filtered and bottled. The residual sugar can be adjusted with straight-on fruit juice to give a refermentation in the bottle. This traditional type of fruit beer is more acid and less fruity. Lindemans farm brewery developed an unique natural method using pure raspberry pulp from unfrozen raspberries. This straight raspberry juice is blended with selected Lambic of different ages. Framboise has a rich-red color and a delicious taste of sparkling raspberry champagne.
