Draught at a Monks cafe. Lots of Cherry here in the aroma and taste. Sherbert texture and a fizzy palate.

On tap.Cherries and tart aromas. Pours bright red, clear, with vanishing reddish head. Somelacing. Light body and lively carbonation. Taste is cherries, sweet and mild sourness developing at the end. Well balanced. Medium sweet and acid finish. Quite refreshing and enjoyable.

25cl bottle. Very fruity aroma. It has heavy cloying sweetness of cherry juice. Dark red colour without foam. It is similar to cider, but little more beerish. It’s nice to try.

This was my first Lambic. I wanted to try something different and this did the trick. 750 ml botlle pours a clear ruby color with a persistent pink head. Smells of ripe cherries. Aroma is the same. At first I thought this was Dr. Pepper with some alcohol added. Taste is sweet at first with a drier finish. I couldn;t taste any malts or hops. A bizarre but pleasant beverage I hesitate to classify as beer.

Out ofthe all theI Lindemans Lambics/Gueuzes I’ve tried (and I’ve had almost all the varieties in total wine and liquor) this is my least favorite. Artificial cherry smell. Ruby red liquid with a frothy pinkish head. Tart artificial cherry flavor sweet and sour slightly vinegar like. Smooth palate with mild sourness in the finish. Not bad, but not great at all.

Notes only. Bottle @ Uno’s in Neshaminy. Ruby red,Cherry aroma. Lightly fizzy, cherries, mildly tart. Delicious.

Pours dark red with a small pink head. Nose shows cherry, cough syrup, faint funky notes and very soft malt. A mix of acidic and sweet flavours are present upon tasting, with cherry throughout and some funky notes later on. The sour finish is perfectly refreshing. Nice moderately high carbonation suits the beer well.

Bottle. Pours clear red with a medium pink head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is dominated by sour cherries. Flavor is also cherry dominated, with a sweetness in the beginning, some tartness from the lambic, and a clean finish. A little too sweet for my liking, but a nice "desert" beer.
