doublebock (163), USA Feb 14, 2008 Color is purplie-ruby-mahogany. Sweet champaign fruity aroma. Initial taste is sweet wine followed by berry tartness and corky finish. More like a berry champagne than a malted hoppy beer but so smooth and complex in flavor .
kmweaver (2125), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA Sep 29, 2008 750mL bottle. Pours a bold, hazy ruby color; significant pink head with great retention and textured, mixed-bubbled lacing; great pour. Solid amounts of funk and dark fruits in the aroma; nicely, lightly tart and much more solid fun than other Lindemans. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: dark fruitiness, tart citrus (lightly tart, but definitely present), and plenty of solid funk upfront; not genuine lambic, and closer than any of the other Lindemans so far; a good guilty pleasure. Medium finish: tart citrus, lingering funk and plenty of dark fruits; a touch sweet on the end. Floback (267), N-town, Florida, USA Sep 10, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine. First time rating this, but not the first purchase and consumption. Pours a dark purple color with half a fingernail of lavender head. Nose is grape and other dark fruits. Loads of berry, twigs, and vinous fruits in the flavor. Bursts with tartness. High carbonation and light/medium body. Refreshing and tasty. After tasting this I broke my girlfriend’s only flute and paid for it with shards of glass in my bare foot. Serves me right, eh? harrisoni (5359), Ashford, Kent, England Sep 8, 2008 Bottle from Dranken Geers. ABV 3.5% Deep purple colour. Deep pink thin head. Aroma of Ribena. Yep, it’s like me mam’s blackcurrant homemade jam. Not disgusting, in fact, quite drinkable. A very fruity beer. Bit over sweet, but it’s perfectly drinkable. Some fruit sour sting on finish. Palidor19 (1319), Brandon, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2008 This Lambic I like, it takes like a fruit refresher after hot day. slightly tangy but not sour, and the right amount of fruity sweetness Redseal94 (9), Lafayette, Indiana, USA does not count Aug 31, 2008 One of my favorite Lindemans. Great flavor, reminded me of my time in London.
