Bottle Hazy blond body. White, frothy head. Sweet (artificial) apple aroma. Moderately sweet, lightly sour flavour, but not very well-balanced. Yet another uninteresting beer in their gamma, luckfully not as sweet as others. Why don’t they make an oude kriek in the Cuvée Rénée-style?

Arôme et gout semblable aux Jolly Rancher pomme avec une acidité très modérée.

UPDATED: MAY 28, 2012 Bottle from total wine. Has a sour apple flavor. Has a wierd after taste. Kinda dissapointed.

Hazy golden yellow color. Apple and sweet taste with citrus finish. Very enjoyable beer, not very sweet, just as it should be.

Bottle at my Pre-CBC Tune-Up Tasting. It pours golden yellow, with a thick white head. The nose is sweet, tangy sour apple and sugar - akin to sour apple Chewits! The taste is tangy apple, lime, apple juice and pear, with a tangy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit 1D, but it does what it says on the tin. Actually not too bad.

This beer pours a straw yellow with a small fluffy head and minimal lacing. He disipates after a while. The nose on this one has an odd funkiness too it, it’s really hard to explain I almost want to say metallic funk. Apples are present as well. Taste is slightly sour with a huge apple flavor. Think sour apple jolly rancher and you have a good idea. Personally I enjoyed it, probably won’t be for all though. Crisp and refreshing, definetely a good summertime brew. Overall I enjoyed it as I enjoy almost all of Lindemans offerings.

Bottle. Pours translucent yellow with a small white head and a little lacing. Aroma is very much pear juice. Taste is fruity with a little extra sweetness on the finish. Okay!

Bottled. Light hazy yellow with a thin head. Sweet green apple aroma. The flavor is like alcoholic sweet apple. mouthfeel is quite dry.

Appearance (4/5): Pours a hazy, medium, pale straw color, with a huge, frothy, white, fully lasting head with excellent lacing.
Aroma (6/10): Dominant green apple, with cloves, pear, and a little lime.
Taste (6/10): Tart green apple cider, very sugary sweet, almost candy like. No bitterness. Short, sweet finish.
Palate (3/5): Light body, lively carbonation, slightly syrupy texture, sticky finish.
Overall (13/20): The aroma is pleasant, and it is very refreshing, but almost too sweet. Not as complex or well balanced as Lindemans’ other fruit lambics.
Drinkability: 4/5. Character: 2/5. Buy Again: No.

Pale orange-yellow with small white head and lots of bubbles. Aroma is apples. Light body with carbonation. Flavor is sweet apples and a little tartness. Ok to drink, not really distinguishable from cider.

Sampled at an esbls tasting. Bought in Columbia, Mo. Hazy light brown withno foam. Apples in the aroma. This is pretty much cider. A bit of spice on the tip of my tongue.
