Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Fruit
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Smells wonderful. Light syrupy sweet flavor with lots of foam. Nice black currant flavor, reminds me of a soda. These are especially good as a break between heavy duty beers.

This is the first one I’ve rated, but I love Lindeman’s fruit beers. Great purple colour with a thin white head. The aroma is solid black currants, but fresh. The flavour is all fruit and sweet, but with a refreshing tartness. The fairly high carbonation also helps to offset the sweetness.

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.

(05.20.06) 12 oz green bottle from Liquorama???? Poured clear purple with small pink head. Some particulates. Soft carbonation. Sour black currant with some catty aroma. Light-to-medium bodied lambic that starts with light malt sweetness and tart black currant. Finished dry with lingering tart fruit flavor. Surprising good sour lambic, not like the overly sweet Lindemans Framboise and Kriek lambics.

Pours blackish royal purple w/ a full, creamy froth. The color of the head is a beautiful pinkish puple color and it just sits there stubborn as all getout. Brisk yet mild aromas of sweet, waxy cassis fruit. Full nectar w/ ample residual effers creating a fiberousy soft and expansive texture. This brew is luscious and chewy. When I poured it I knew I was in for a treat. Big, sweet and meaty cassis fruit all balanced by a fresh, briskly tart acidity. This brew is a mouthfull of gobstopper decadence but has a strong oak presence. The finish is long w/ lingering sweetarts and oak.

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.

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.

Bottle from Odd Bins. I love this stuff, it’s like alcoholic Ribena. Deep purple with a light mauve head. That typical lambic aroma with notes of black currant; reminds me of red wine. Sweet and sour at the same time. Syrupy palate gives it a full mouth feel. Full of berry goodness. If you like black currant you’ll enjoy this.
