Tasting Notes

Belle Vue Rasberry 5.2 % : A raspberry lambic beer from belguim, light red in color.
Belle Vue are world famous for their fruit flavoured lambic, and blended lambic (gueuze) styles. Lambics are one of the oldest beer styles that start out as wheat beers made with stale hops and naturally occuring yeasts that live in the districts and countryside around southern Brussels. This produces a strong tarty yeasty beer which is often balanced by adding fruit, usually cherries, but in this case raspberries, and aged in oak barrels to give it a softer fruitier woody aged character. The resulting style is know as a fruit-lambic and makes an excellent substitute for dry wines or champagne, especially with food, try it with desert.
