Lindemans Kriek

loes of cherries both in aroma and taste. good looking pour too. like all other lindeman’s I enjoy it as a one-off.

Very Sweet. Appearance is like soda. Tastes good but you can really only drink one or two. But I like it.

Normally I like kriek beers but this is so OTT with the cherry aroma and flavour that it really put me off. Looking at the ingredients I’m assuming the 25% cherry juice accounts for that, but adding cherry flavouring for gods sake! and sugar substitute...what the hells that? Ascorbic acid????? what’s that for? I did notice these ingredients on the label before tasting it, so perhaps that influenced my rating, nevertheless, I didn’t enjoy this beer, too sweet and too in yer face with the cherries! Really unbalanced. Oh, by the way, I bought it in Tesco if you’re interested.

My wife thought this was too weak. Need I say more? Nose and flavor and finish completely cherry.

(Tap @ Mallaskukko and Bottle) Dark ruby red, soft pink head. Aroma is mainly cherries, ever so slight hint of yeast. Tastes very fresh, not as much of fermented cherry as some others. Flavor is slightly richer on tap, but it’s excellent either way. This has become my summer favorite.
