The real taste

Framboise Boon lets you enjoy the pure, real taste of freshly picked raspberries. It is a heavenly combination of old and young Lambic, 300 grams of fresh raspberries and 50 grams of cherries per litre.

Framboise Boon is a spontaneously fermented beer made from old and young Lambic that matured in oak barrels. The secret of its high quality and authentic taste lies in the use of real fresh raspberries without any concentrates. Framboise Boon is made with as many as 300 grams of fresh raspberries per litre. We also add almost 50 grams of cherries per litre to make the beer even milder. We allow the raspberries to ferment together with the young Lambic beer to give Framboise Boon its fine authentic taste. This beer is completely natural: no sugars or sweeteners are added and the beer is not pasteurised.

The raspberries are still harvested by hand. They are cleaned immediately after being harvested and any twigs and leaves are removed. They are then frozen straight away and kept in the brewery's special cold storage. This allows us to use fresh raspberries to make Framboise Boon all year round. We use up to 15 tonnes of raspberries a year to make our raspberry Lambic.

Vintage

The year on the bottle's neck label is the year the raspberries were harvested.

Flavour

Framboise Boon gives you a refreshing, mild and full-bodied taste of fresh raspberries, as if you were to put them onto your tongue straight from the bush. The beer is very fruity: you can genuinely taste real raspberries and beer rather than the flavour of raspberry sweets. It is also highly drinkable. It is the perfect thirst-quencher in a summer beer garden.
