Floris Framboise

◎ Appearance

Deep wine-red hue with pronounced haze from the wheat beer base, revealing suspended yeast and grain particles beneath the surface. A fine, compact pink foam crowns the glass, showing modest but stable retention. The cloudiness and soft head create an inviting, rustic presentation characteristic of unfiltered wheat beers.

◌ Aroma

Fresh raspberry aromatics dominate, sitting prominently against the wheat beer's traditional spice backdrop. Coriander and orange zest provide a bright, herbal-citric counterpoint, with gentle notes of grain sweetness supporting the fruit. The interplay creates a complex nose that balances tartness with subtle warmth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced sweetness and ripe raspberry fruit, the low bitterness (18 IBU) allowing the adjunct to shine without interference. Mid-palate reveals the wheat malt's soft body and gentle coriander character, while residual tart acidity from the fruit emerges to balance the initial sweetness. The interplay of sweet and sour develops gradually across the tongue.

◑ Finish

Raspberry lingers persistently in the aftertaste, fading gradually with a clean, refreshing sensation. The low alcohol (3.6% ABV) allows the fruit and subtle tartness to dominate without any warming alcohol note, leaving the palate crisp and inviting another sip.
