Framboise Lambic Ale - Raspberry Beer!

[KMFJD]

That's something my 75 yeard old aunt who doesn't drink beer will drink.

/Not a bad drink after supper but a little to sweet for my tastes

If you're that insecure, you've already rendered it.

i guess we must disagree... like with pink shirts. the 'men' that secretly love to wear them just claim, 'im confident in my masculinity', but at the end of the day they are still the db in a freaking pink shirt.

man cards are a privilege and should be diligently protected. not going to void mine by ignorance.

go wear 5 dollar jeans and drink natty light then. only way to truly maintain your man status :roll:

 

[effowe]

I've got one of these to enjoy them in.

I tried the Raspberry one the other day and I can't believe how good it is. First off it doesn't look like any other beer I've ever had. It's red. Not like reddish brown. It's red...like a lighter shade of cran-raspberry juice. It's thicker obviously, and a bit opaque. It forms a nice pink head (heh heh heh) that's fun to eat on it's own.

The taste is amazing too, like no other beer I've ever had. It's basically like drinking raspberry juice. I get tired of the taste of beer after one or two, but I could drink this stuff all night lo:thumbsup:ng. Also, it's not overly carbonated, and goes down smooth. If you enjoy raspberries, or other berries I highly recommend it. Goes great with the summer if you're looking for something refreshing.

ABV % is debatable. I've seen some that say it's 2.5, other's 4%, and the restaurant where I ordered it said 6. So who knows.

Welcome to the club!

The Lambic beers are some of the best in the entire world. My German GF at the time introduced me to it in a NYC bar in SOHO.

I LOVE the Cherry beer...even better than Raspberry (even though I prefer Raspberry as a fruit).

Too bad it's so damn expensive otherwise I'd buy more of it!

The point is to be yourself, that's strength, and that's what a man is about. Not some fluffy emo who's going to check the internet to see if something's cool before he checks it out.

There are a bunch of flavors, including a sour one, which I like.

 

[Gothgar]

I am not too into the fruity beers

 

[Turin39789]

I know many women who enjoy them.

alright... so where can you buy them?

 

[dullard]

That specific flavor is by far the best beer I've ever had. That said, I'm not sure if you can really call it a beer. But, the ladies love it. If it is "unmanly" to have attractive women drinking beer with you, then I'll gladly turn in my man card.

Any supermarket that I've seen carries it. Some restaurants too.

I don't like the fruity brews too much. Just had the Magic Hat No. 9 (apricot) and didn't like it.

Of the flavored beers I like the pumkin ales in the fall and the chocolate and coffee flavored ones are good too.

Lambic beers are much better than other makes of fruity beers...night an day.

any bar where they advertise they have over "xx" beers on tap usually have them. mostly belgian style bars. They also sell by bottles at a big liquor store that has lots of beers too.

 

[soulcougher73]

Its not a real beer. Real beer doesnt have fruit in it But i have tried it and it is tasty. But its not a beer i say

supermarkets in PA are not permitted to carry beer. we have 6pack shops and beer distributers.

His picture is of a Lindeman's, but check out a Cantillon if you can find it. Lindeman's is expensive as it is, Cantillon will be even more so.

Worth a try every now and then - one of the breweries always has Lindeman's rasberry on draft, and uses it a lot to mix a beer drink for people who can't quite stand the hoppiness or maltiness of a good strong beer.

I enjoy a good lambic. Raspberry is my favorite berry, so it's also my favorite lambic. Three Philosophers is also very good. Peach lambic is tasty, but I'm not as wild about the Currant flavored ones.

yeah, I LOVE raspberry, so I'm happy I found this.

That's changing a little. Wegmans stores are starting to carry beer, but they have to be somewhat "partitioned" from the rest of the departments.

 

[jpeyton]

Lambic is something I might have on occasion with dessert.

Am I going to open up a bottle of Lambic when I'm watching the playoffs or sitting at a poker table with the guys? Nope. Might as well turn in your man card at that point.

 

[CoinOperatedBoy]

I don't get why "real men" would drink piss water like Bud, but won't drink something with fruit in it that probably has higher ABV and actually has some taste. It's like beer snobbery in reverse.

bud has "no taste"
lambics have "bad taste"
