Do you ever have a beer that you look forward to all year? That when you see it in your local store you stand there dumbfounded with a big goofy grin like you found your long lost friend? My old friend in holiday beers is New Belgium's Frambozen.
This raspberry brown ale pours a deep ruby color and provides the lucky drinker with a delicious experience. The flavor of the raspberries balances perfectly with the rich malty brown ale. The beer is not over-the-top sweet or sour like some raspberry beers (especially lambics), but rather provides a highly addictive full flavor that allows you to enjoy more than one in a session. The other great part is that they use real raspberries from the northwest, not a manufactured syrup or artificial flavor.
As many of you know I also have a fine appreciation for all baked goods. That is probably why I love this beer so much, it is a perfect partner for a good ole fashioned chocolate brownie but also pairs well with flan and fresh berries.
