The Lost Abbey Framboise de Amorosa

The first sip is a sweet start with a long drawn out sour finish. Some of the sweetness from the Raspberries comes out before a smooth acidic notes join the mix. On the back end of the beer is a nice smoothing oak character which keeps the beer from becoming dull. Framboise de Amorosa is our first foray into the world of raspberry beers. It begins as Lost and Found ale and is sent into freshly emptied red wine barrels. The beer spends over a year in the wood during which time it is spiked with three additions of raspberries.
