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.
