pours apple juice yellow with bits of suspended sediment, good thick foamy head, lots of lacing, some slow activity. Bright, sweet and natural apple juice on the nose. Attack: dense fruity sugars, 9/10-sweetness, medium tanginess Mid-palate: med-high cloying, red apple, green apple, medium sourness Finish: cloying, sweet, highly tart finish. Drinks very much like a super-sweet and tart cider, but too sweet and cloying for my palate.

Hazy orange with minimal and quickly vanishing head. Aroma consists of sour notes. Flavour is very sour

The beer had a great sour apple aroma with light citrus notes and a blend of candy and sugar too. It had a clear, light gold color with an average-sized foamy white head that had good retention and lacing, and great cling. It had a very sweet apple flavor with a gummy effect, and light touches of sour grain too. The palate had high carbonation with a thick mouthfeel, and was a bit dry and chewy.

pours hazy pale golden with a decent white head, some retention. green but artificial apples, apple bubble gum, candied, hint of acidity - few acetic notes, very shy bretts, phenols. average carbonation, light to medium body - sticky and oily, short to no finish. DP.

Bottle shared with McTapps. For the first time a Lindemans seemes to be really artificial in the aroma. But its still an enjoyable beer with some real beer in the background and full apple in the front. Drinkable.

Light milky golden / light amber colour with low head and medium to thin body. Nose of sweet artifical Granny Smith apples. Taste is quite artifical as well, seems to be like the big Hubba Bubba chewing gums ( or Shock! chewing gums) you get with green apples flavour. It finishes very, very dry and very sour with the same chewing gum hints you get along the way. But nevertheless it seems to be quite tasty and refreshing.

Bottle @ home.. vintage 2011...It pours light murky deep yellow with a small white fluffy head... The aroma is dusty, fruity and apples... The flavor is dust, cork, some sour flavors and apples....

Slightly hazy golden colour, white diminishing head. Aroma of apple, apple cores, sweetener, apple acids, green sour candy strips (zure matten), apple esters. Sweet sweetener flavour, somewhat sour, light tart, apple. Tart finish, apple and apple cores.
(From 37.5cL bottle @ home)

Very much a beer/cider hybrid and much more enjoyable than the rating suggest. Light, fizzy, a hint of funk with granny smith apples. Refreshing. say what you will, but Lindemans make great, flavourful beers at low ABVs.

0,25l bottle. Aroma is mostly apple, similar to cider. Taste is pretty much the same, and slightly too acidic. Overall it has artificial aroma and taste.
