Bacchus Frambozenbier
This frambozenbier, or raspberry beer, is brewed using Bacchus Oud Bruin which sets it apart from most raspberry beers that are based on lambic or geuze. The standout characteristic of this beer is its beautiful balance between sour and sweet with aromas of very sweet raspberries, malt and earthy yeast. Bacchus Frambozenbier is mild and slightly sour with hints of balsamic vinegar. It sparkles on the tongue and has plenty of body. The roast malt contributes a slight touch of caramel. The finish is dominated by sweet raspberries and a mild sourness.
St. Louis Premium Framboise is a fruit beer based on traditional geuze lambiek. During the brewing process 25% juice is added, produced from Willamette raspberries.
Before the St. Louis Premium range saw the light in 2001 (to take advantage of the increased market demand for sweeter fruit beers) Van Honsebrouck had been brewing the St. Louis Framboise.
This framboise was based on lambiek and had an initial alcohol content of 5% which was subsequently lowered to 4.5%. For a while, this beer was marketed under the Dutch brand names “St. Louis Frambozen” and “St. Louis Frambozenbier”, but these names are no longer used.
At various points in time, the beer went under the names of “Gueuze Framboisée” and “St. Louis Framboise”. Since the alcohol percentage was reduced to 2.8% and the “Premium” range was launched they stopped producing any further versions of this beer.
This St. Louis Premium Framboise will appeal to beer lovers of all ages thanks to its modest alcohol volume and its fruity character.
