Lindemans Framboise

A burst of Belgian raspberries in every glass.
Not every beer needs to taste like beer as you know it. Lindemans Framboise brings together the centuries-old Belgian lambic tradition and the vibrant flavour of ripe raspberries, creating something colourful, refreshing and wonderfully different.

Its deep raspberry-pink colour makes an impression before the first sip. On the palate, generous berry fruit meets a delicate, refreshing tartness, giving the sweetness just enough balance to keep things lively. The result is closer to a sparkling fruit aperitif than a conventional lager, with a character that can appeal just as much to wine and fruit-beer lovers as to traditional beer drinkers.

First introduced in 1980, Framboise has become one of the best-known examples of Belgian fruit lambic. At just 2.5% ABV, it is light in strength but full of personality — a lovely choice for an aperitif, a special occasion or a fruity alternative when browsing the Belgian beer selection in Ireland.

Why we love it:
Lindemans Framboise is all about making fruit and tradition work beautifully together. The raspberry flavour is generous without losing the refreshing tang that gives lambic its character, while its striking colour makes it feel a little more special than the everyday beer. An excellent introduction to Belgian fruit beers, even for those who usually reach for something else.
