Lindemans Framboise

Lindemans Framboise from Brouwerij Lindemans in Belgium is a lush, raspberry-packed Belgian lambic that leans deep into dessert territory. At just 2.5% ABV, roughly 225 calories, and about 36.5 g of carbs per 12 oz, it’s low on alcohol but high on indulgence. Its calorie-to-ABV ratio of ~90.0 kcal per 1% ABV reflects its sweet, fruit-forward nature—definitely not keto-friendly, but worth it when you want something decadent.

Flavor & Aroma

Pouring a brilliant ruby-red with a frothy pink head, Lindemans Framboise bursts with aromas of ripe raspberries, fresh jam, and a touch of earthy funk. The palate delivers a vibrant blend of sweet and tart berry flavors, balanced by lively carbonation and a hint of lambic complexity. Its effervescent, champagne-like quality makes it as much a celebratory drink as it is a beer.
