| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 24, 2009 Bottle 370 ml 3.5%. Age roughly 1 year piror to tasting. Poured deep dark ruby with an averaged sized, loose, rocky, purple head which was mostly diminishing. Aroma was of Ribena (blackcurrant concentrate) with great forest floor notes, plum juice, port wine jelly and light yeasty/barnyard notes. Flavor was of acidic fruit with sour red grape skins, tart blackberries, blackcurrant juice, wild berry yogurt, port wine jelly and light musty notes. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation, a dry tart mouthfeel, lightly syrupy texture and a good length finish. Extremely complex yet refreshing. HughConway (367), Washington, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 15, 2009 Probably my favorite Lindeman’s lambic - the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and characteristic fruit flavor. I really like this stuff! Bonster (85), Jersey Shore, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Bottle at local bar. Purple/red color with pink head. Sweet, juicy aroma and flavor. Nice lacing. I think I like this one better than the raspberry flavor by Lindemans. Still, very sweet, I can only have one or so. yemenmocha (354), Glendale, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2009 What a surprise! Pours near black in color with dark purple head, though the body of the beer is more of a dark red when held to a lightsource. Head is thick, rich, laces well, and is mystifying to look at. Nose is intense with mixed dark berries that are hard to pin down - maybe some blackberry, blueberry, and a faint echo of grape soda from childhood. This dessert beer is creamy on the palate with an explosion of sweet & tart dark fruits that come through like the intensity of a spirit but without the alcoholic bite. Finish is very, very long. dkachur (2351), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is currants, cherries, oak, grape. Taste is sweet berries, currants, cranberry, oak notes. Medium bodied. Defreni (999), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 1, 2009 Flaske: Rød lilla øl med et fint lille skumhoved. Duft af solbær. Smagen er tør sur og en god del solbær. Næsten for tør til min smag. Men drikbar bestemt. odgaard (254), Skyum, Thisted, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 28, 2009 Dark pink/purple color with a small pink head. Aroma: Sour, black curant, wood. Taste: sour, black curant, a little acid. Some wood and old cellar too. Pretty high carbonation. Very refreshing. One of my first experiences with this type of beer, but definitely not the last.
