FramboiseFramboise (from the French for raspberry) or Frambozenbier (Dutch) is very popular Belgian lambic beer that is fermented using raspberries. It is one of many modern fruitbeer types that have been inspired by the more traditional kriek beer, made using sour cherries. Framboise is usually served in a small glass that resembles a champagne glass, only shorter (could also be a goblet). Most framboise beers are quite sweet Some breweries produces framboise beer based on the traditional kriek style, someof them uses Oud bruin beer instead of lambic to make its high quality framboise beer, resulting in a very different taste. Recently, Framboise has become popular outside of Belgium, and can now be found in pubs and supermarkets all over the world. ... see all Framboise beers
FruitA generic form of flavored beer, some breweries actually use real fruit, though most use an extract, syrup or processed flavor to give the effect of a particular fruit or vegetable. Usually lambics, in some cases ales, but with not much ale character to them and commonly unbalanced. Malt flavor is typically hidden with a low hop bitterness to allow the fruit or vegetable to dominate. Body, color, hop character and strength vary depending on the type of fruit used. ... see all Fruit beers
