Lambic Framboise
6/20, at the Shanghai Tunnel.
I procured meself a glass of Lindeman's Framboise Lambic, a Belgian raspberry beer. Lindeman's has a bizarre website, poorly translated and hard to find, here. Info on the Framboise is here. The beer is a Lambic, perhaps the most interesting type of beer brewed in the world, very time intensive. Some people are extremely devoted to Belgian beer. It is quite expensive, but usually worth it once or twice.
This Framboise is very unique, the raspberry flavor is very strong. Apparently Lindeman's grows their own raspberries. The nose is pretty clean, and the beer is quite sweet, with the dominant flavor definitely the raspberries. The finish is a little odd, perhaps the best way to describe it is foamy in your mouth, without actually having any foam. It sticks around, kind of cloying your tongue. This is a very good novelty beer, and would be excellent as a dessert accompaniment. Overall I would be much more interested in the Lambic itself, without all the raspberries, but I think I am in the minority here.
WDTB? Chicks. People who like fruity cocktails. People obsessed with Belgian beer.
WSDTB? You. Pair it with things to impress dinner guests at swanky parties. Act Cultured.
Rating: 8.8/10

I love the Lambic beer. It reminds me of the best desert in a glass.

What is the alchohol content? Where do you find nutritional content?

If you want to make it more interesting,
Pour 1/2 of the Lambic into a glass;
Pour 1/2 of Young's Irish Chocolate Stout into the same glass with the Lambic.
Result? A beer-ish black forest chocolate truffle like experience, but more emphasis on the beer. It's REALLY good. : )
