Lindemans Framboise Lambic is a Fruit Lambic that pours rose red with a light frothy pink head.

Top fermentation with the wild airborne yeasts specific to Belgium’s Senne region and the addition of raspberries to the brew maturation process yields a tangy, softly carbonated ale with an ABV of 2.5%.

The aroma of raspberries dominates; the flavor profile follows suit, with the fruity esters perfectly balanced by a soft and sour acidity.

The finish is delicately tart and crisp.

Food Pairings

Delightful with chocolate desserts, fresh raspberries, ice cream with a raspberry sauce, créme caramel, baked Alaska.

Pair with oysters or caviar. Serve at 45 °F in flute-shaped Lambic glass.

Brewery Information:

Lindemans Brewery, initially a family farm in southwest Brussels, began commercial brewing operations in 1822. They specialized in Lambics – a unique style of wheat beer wholly dependent on wild airborne yeasts for fermentation as well as on an exceptionally long period of maturation up to 3 years.

Over time, brewery revenue gradually outpaced farming revenue and by 1930, the Lindemans family was able to cease farming operations altogether to concentrate fully on the brew business.

Today the brewery, still family owned, exports its award winning ales to a dozen countries including the US, where their ales outsell all other Lambics.
