Lindeman's Framboise Lambic

Nathan and I shared a bottle of Lindeman's Framboise Lambic last night. This is a Belgian wheat beer fermented from wild yeast and with raspberries added to produce a second fermentation. As soon I smelled this beer the memory of eating wild raspberries in Boone popped in my head- I love it when smells bring up good memories.

Lindeman's does sweeten their Lambics, so they aren't quite made according to the traditional methods. Still, this was good stuff- tart, fruity, with a hint of wheaty sharpness. If you are in the mood for something tart and slighty sweet- this is the way to go. This would have been damn good with some dark chocolate.

I still haven't opened up my Cantillon Gueuze (it is one of the beers you can age), but when the time is right, expect a blog post about it.
