Fruit Lambic 5.2 º

Brouwerij Belle Vue

This Fruit Lambic presents a vibrant sensory profile centered on a lush infusion of fresh raspberries. It opens with a striking, highly aromatic nose of jammy fruit balanced by subtle funk typical of the spontaneous fermentation process. The palate is decidedly sweet—reflecting its modern commercial positioning—offering a dessert-like raspberry flavor that masks most of the underlying wheat and malt character. A delicate tartness provides a refreshing counterpoint, though the finish remains fruity and lingering rather than bone-dry. It is an approachable take on the style, emphasizing fruit vibrancy and sweetness over intense acidity or barrel-aged complexity.

Appearance. Deep pink to ruby-red hue (20+ SRM due to fruit) with a slight haze. Pours with a moderate, pinkish-white head that fades into a thin, persistent ring with light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity dominated by sweet, jammy raspberries. Beneath the fruit, subtle notes of hay, earthy funk, and a faint lactic tartness emerge. Hop character is absent; malt is mostly obscured by the fruit esters.

Taste. The initial impression is of intense raspberry sweetness, followed by a light, refreshing lactic acidity. The malt character is neutral, providing a subtle base for the fruit. Hop bitterness is negligible (near 0 IBU). The finish is sweet and fruity with a faint, clean tartness that lingers on the tongue.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly syrupy texture from the residual sweetness. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle sparkle. Alcohol warmth is negligible; no significant astringency or puckering tartness.
