Bosskie (106), Netherlands Aug 4, 2007 25cl bottle, 3.5%, bought in Belgium.
A nasty pink-purple head and a dark, red beer; almost purple.
The aroma combines fresh fruitiness with the typical blueberry heaviness - I’ve had blueberry pancakes 2 in my life and I got the memory back just from the smell! Scary sweetness held as a promise.... and indeed, the flavour is very sweet, but it dies away into the bitterness rather nicely, leaving a dry fresh taste of blueberry’s which fades into lemon acidity.
Actually a nice, interesting beer. FROTHINGSLOSH (1961), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 1, 2007 Updated: Aug 27, 2007Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a very dark red color with a huge raspberry sherbet colored head. The aroma was sour, funky barnyard with a lightly tart and fruity undertone. The flavor is tart, tangy and sour with a moderate grapey undertone a very sugary middle and a very long and very tart finish. padrefan98 (787), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Jul 30, 2007 Bottle purchased at Beverages for less in Santee. Very nice sweet fruity flavor. Thick, but drinkable. gsmitty80 (627), Washington DC, USA Jul 5, 2007 Very thick beer with little to no head. Tastes of strong fruit and light alcohol. Basic generic rating (insert fruit flavor here).
*I like the currant the best. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Jun 30, 2007 Bottle. Pours grape ruby, thin lavender Aroma is mint and currant. Flavor is currant, wheat, some mint earthiness. jgentgesdo (564), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Jun 29, 2007 Pours deep purple with medium purple head. Nose is grape must, horseblanket, cream. Flavor is initial intense sourness, currant, and creamy malt. There is a powerful base of earthy, woody lambic flavor. Creamy mouthfeel. Lingering sour finish... makes my mouth water. Good. chicagobears (336), Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA Jun 25, 2007 375ml bottle poured a grape purple with a small head. Aroma of berries, grapes, and fermenting yeast. The flavor surprised me a bit cause it wasn’t all fruit like the other Lindemans I’ve sampled. Besides the sweet currants their is a back line of acidity, woodiness, and lambic yeast character. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 20, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark body with nice head, great look. Aroma is of grapes, black mission figs, faint berries. Flavor is sweet and tart berry, grapes. A little syrupy. This is my favorite Lindemans fruit Lambics by far.
