EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA May 31, 2006 Bottle. Dark wine red pour, neon pink head. Smells of currant, sweet and tangy with a bit of dust. Tastes the same. Sourness is a bit milder than in the Framboise, on the whole a bit sweeter, too. That is, too sweet. mephisto (1144), Taiwan May 28, 2006 another chickie lambic, pinkish purple with reddish head; the aroma is fruity with hint of currant. so is the flavor. OldMrCrow (1179), Seattle, Washington, USA May 16, 2006 From the bottle.
Pours a reddish purple with a flourescent pink head. The aroma is a funky winery-bottling-room with some black currant; the flavor is an overwhelming blast of thick, sweet, sticky black currant (think melted sorbet or maybe even straight-up Torani syrup). The lambic character is in there somewhere, but one practically has to focus to find it beneath all the fruit and sugar.
As fruit juice, it’s passable. As a beer, no. Jabswitch (206), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA May 12, 2006 Kind of a slight stale aroma. Very attractive cloudy burgundy in appearance with a fine bubbly head. Very tart - a slight metallic aftertaste - not really bad - just rather metallic. I liked the livliness of the carbonation. A refreshing drink to sip. This was my first experience with a lambic. Very unbeer-like. Different but good. peter (385), Dallas, Texas, USA Apr 27, 2006 Deep berry red. Lose ununiform pink head. Nose is acidic with sugar sweet notes, watermelon, cassic, dust, and mint leaf. tounge is acidic with bitter orange and cassic but the mouth is too sweet. There is a problem of balance of the sweet notes. They appear artifical and do not fit the flavour of the beer. joss (3633), Garching b. München, Germany Apr 7, 2006 0.25L Bottle Dangerous purple red
colouration - I took off my good shirt before the first sip. Somewhat metallic cassis aroma. Sweet baseline, light tartness from the berries. Easy drinkable. Sparkly mouthfeel. Doesnt taste bad, but I did expect a bit more lambicness here. beerBB (132), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 28, 2006 probably my most favorite Lindemans. Color is amazing almost purple. Fuity, a little too sweet to drink too many. Great after a meal or anywhere you’d think of drinking a dessert wine. biggcb (459), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 24, 2006 Dry and tart and yet also very sweet. Fruity, but not overwhelming. Very rich red color and a good aroma of currants.
