Lindemans Framboise Lambic Beer

Lindemans Framboise Lambic Beer

Lindemans Framboise is a Belgian fruit lambic made by blending traditional lambic beer with raspberry juice and natural raspberry flavoring. It is a filtered, pasteurized, and sweetened version of lambic, designed to be approachable and fruity rather than intensely sour like traditional Oude lambic styles. The beer has been produced since 1980 and is widely recognized as one of the most accessible raspberry lambics on the market.

Unlike traditional spontaneously fermented lambics, Lindemans Framboise is stabilized and sweetened, resulting in a consistent, fruit-forward profile with lower acidity and higher perceived sweetness.

Flavor Profile / Tasting Notes

• Bright raspberry juice and candy-like berry sweetness
