@Tommy G – Vanilla ice cream. Hmmm. That sounds really good actually! I didn’t realize the abv was so low in this one. A real session ale! Thanks for the great comments!

Oh, one more thing. The alcohol content of the Lindeman’s Framboise Lambic is only 2.5%. The other flavors are a little higher in alcohol content. Check this site:

I have been drinking Lindeman’s lambics for a few years now. The Framboise is still my favorite. Contrary to most posts, I’d say the finish is definitely tart/sour and not sweet. For that reason, I usually drink it with vanilla ice cream (if I have some at home). Don’t knock it until you try it. It is the best beer float you’ll ever have — a Framboise Float! When the vanilla ice cream begins to melt it takes the edge off the tartness from the lambic and is a delicious dessert!

@loki – I really didn’t enjoy Wild Blue at all! People love it though, so that’s cool. I’ll stick with the Lambics!

@SimplyBeer – Thanks for the information and excellent suggestions! I thought this was a great beer, and very different. I’m looking to try some more of the funkier stuff in the near future.

I know Bob reviewed Douchesse awhile back and really enjoyed it (4 stars). Might be a good place for me to start too.

First off, good for you moving out of your comfort zone. It’s not an easy thing to do and probably a good start exploring this world of lambics / sour / tart beers. Contrary to a couple of suggestions above, I wouldn’t necessarily go straight to the cantillons, but maybe a Douchesse de Borgne. The cantillons can be very intense and I urge you to easy into the style. the same way you wouldn’t give a bud ice drinker a stone runiation for there first hoppy beer. But that is me.

Now as far as Spontaneous fermentation and lambics go there is no regulatory board that restricts the use of Lambics, like trappist or champagne. But out of respect the breweries that are doing spontaneous fermentation are not using the term lambic (sam adams is another story). There are at least 3 American breweries doing spontaneous feremntation. the most authentic to the Belgian lambic style is Allagash, but also Jolly Pumpkin and Russian River are experimenting with the process with some good success.
