beer_name: Frambozen Raspberry Brown Ale
text: 12 oz longneck, served in the proper NB goblet-esque glass. A- Surprisingly dark ruby red color, with a decent brown head tinted with crimson. Visible carbonation when held to light. Very attractive considering it's holiday nature. Might not be as appetizing as a regular year-long brew; looks like fizzy cranberry juice. S- Again with the cranberry juice; mouthwateringly tart and sweet nose, backed with light, classic ale malts. No discernible hops present. Delicious smelling! T- Tart, slightly sweet with more ale grains in the taste. The actual raspberry flavors are dimmed a bit, but come to life in the slightly sticky sweet aftetaste. Decent, but I was expecting more fruits in my mouth. That sounded really gay. My apologizes. M- Medium light body with a wonderful smoothness. Felt almost zero carbonation. D- This beer would become tiring quickly; the tartness would quickly lead to palate fatigue and would overpower the next beer. Best enjoyed as a one-beer treat with good friends and family at Christmas time.
