Some years ago, La Choulette brewer Alain Dhaussy thought to take his already famous amber biere de garde and add pure raspberry juice. The resulting reddish-brown framboise captivated beer-lovers from the start. It is dry, only a little bit sweet, and redolent with fresh raspberries, offset by a light roasty malt character and accented by a classic biere de garde yeast that lends a spicy, almost perfumed note.
