#114 New Belgium – Frambozen



This beer smells like sweet cherries, and nothing else. The color is a dark red, that is almost opaque. There is a bit of foam around the top of the glass, but not much.

This sweet cherry smell disappears in the taste. The taste is like rotten sour cherries. The sourness is very strong and surprising. There is a slight malt taste that doesn't mix well with the Cherries and results in an almost rotten taste.

I think the beer is supposed to taste like this, but I am not a fan. I don't like sour beers. I know this is a Belgium tradition to have sour beer, but I would like to stay away from it.
