THE NINTH BEER OF CHRISTMAS


Timmermans Framboise, a Lambic by Timmermans.

12 ounce bottle served in some small glass found in the home of the parents.

I didn't drink the whole thing. I actually inherited about half of it, when The Sister found it "too much like beer" and not enough like Lindemans Framboise for her liking.

The color is pinkish-brown with a white head (which is all the more brilliant due to the contrast). The glass is filled with light and lively bubbles.

This lambic smells like my memory of Frankenberry cereal, primarily raspberry and grain.

The flavor is boldly raspberry, with yeast and grain making brief appearances in the background. The flavors are nicely balanced, however, working well together.

This is quite nice.
