I tried this Belgian beer for the first time when I was in London almost ten years ago. According to Lindemans, long before hops were common in most beers, various fruits and vegetables were used to season beers. The acidity of Lambic beers blends perfectly with raspberries.

Lindemans also has a few other flavors including Kriek (Cherry), Gueuze (sweeter more beer-like flavor), Cassis (Black Currant), Peche (Peach), and Pomme (Apple). Framboise is my personal favorite, but I have been known to keep some Kriek and Peche around the house.

The flavor is very tart and sweet. Although I certainly love drinking this by itself, I have found some new ways to mix it up. My favorite way to drink this is to mix it with a dark beer like Young's Double Chocolate Stout (chocolate and raspberries- how is that bad?) or Guinness.

Winner of a number of world championships, you can find this and other Lindemans beers for sale at Trader Joe's and some other nicer grocery and liquor stores. I have found it on tap at BJ's Brewery and The Yard House.
