Hello World,
This is the second installment of the BWBB. Being the kind and generous soul that I am, I am doing a request this week. It was also really, really easy for me to answer this request. My good friend Mitch asked that the next BWBB feature Christina's favorite beer. Done.
Since there is only one beer in the world that Christina will even walk within 3 feet of, this is too easy. If you draw your attention to the left, you will see Lindeman's Framboise. Lindeman's makes a couple beers in this style, but this particular one is fermeted with raspberries. It is classified as a Belgian Lambic-style beer and has an alcohol content of about 4%.
It is a deep rose color that smells fantastic. It has a bit of a sparkling aspect to it. I hesitate to even call this "beer," but the facts don't lie. Framboise is sold in 750ml bottles, but I have seen it on tap in a few places....I think Cafe Hollander has it in that form. A bottle usually costs somewhere between $9-$12 at the store...whereas glasses in restaurants tend to be a huge ripoff.
Being the manly man that I am, I wouldn't be caught dead drinking this brew in public. BUT, it might be a decent option to impress a date who doesn't like wine or beer. It might also be a nice item to bring to a party if you are tired of always being the one who brings nasty, cheap, bad wine. (You know who you are.)\
In all honesty, I don't have much more to say about this beer. I will drink it. It certainly doesn't taste bad; it's just not exactly my cup of tea. But for those of you who have not tried it, it's worth a taste.
Ok, so I have two weeks to think about the next featured beer. Requests are good. Make them.
On a related note, I will be drinking the newest Lakefront Brewery beer in 5-6 hrs. Perfect. Expect some sort of blog or review. But for now, back to class. Hope everyone is doing well.
