Beer of the Month: Framboise Boon - A Berry Delight!

Welcome fellow beer enthusiasts! This month, we're diving into the world of fruity, refreshing lambics with the delightful Framboise Boon. If you're looking for a beer that's both complex and incredibly drinkable, you've come to the right place.

What is Framboise Boon?

Framboise Boon is a traditional Belgian lambic fruit beer, crafted by the renowned Brasserie Boon. What sets this beer apart is its spontaneous fermentation process, a hallmark of lambic brewing. This means that the beer relies on wild yeasts present in the air of the Senne Valley, giving it a unique and naturally tart character.

But the magic doesn't stop there. Brasserie Boon then adds a generous amount of ripe raspberries, infusing the beer with a vibrant, fruity sweetness that perfectly balances the lambic's tartness. The result? A beautifully pink-hued beer with a complex flavor profile that's both refreshing and satisfying.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: A lovely, deep pink color with a delicate, frothy head.
Aroma: Intense aromas of fresh raspberries, with subtle hints of earthy lambic.
Taste: A delightful blend of tart and sweet, with a prominent raspberry flavor and a dry, slightly acidic finish.
Mouthfeel: Light and effervescent, making it incredibly easy to drink.

Perfect Pairings:

Framboise Boon is a versatile beer that pairs well with a variety of foods. Try it with:

Light cheeses, like goat cheese or brie.
