In addition to tasting a few ales, we will be creating our first attempt at a salad dressing made from a Framboise Beer. Start with a saute of onion and garlic, deglaze with the Framboise beer, salt,sugar, rice and white vinegar. Mixed green salad, purple onion, feta cheese and walnuts. Good salad, needs more beer in dressing for a stronger raspberry flavor.Tasting notes: Of course raspberry from nose to close. Cloudy cranberry hue, great after dinner drink.
Duchese De Bourgogne, A Belgian Red Ale.6%ABV. Deep reddish or Merlot colors. Apple or fruit cider on the nose. Tart apple flavors are the first notes with a pucker or tart finish.
This ale was named after Mary of Burgundy, born 1457 in Brussels, daughter of the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold. France and Belgium were one country at that time. Barbara, Marie and Chantal enjoyed this ale.

The Peach (Peche) Lambic is excellent too! I didn't expect it to be as sweet as it was, but it was delicious nonetheless. It could be a dessert all to itself.

I have one waiting to be opened, I saw the Framboise on tap today at BJ's in Sunset Valley.
