Lindemans Kriek

(Draught at Hörnan Belgobar, Stockholm) Dark red colour with frothy pink head. Fruity nose with clean and fresh cherry notes and hints of almond. Fruity taste with sweet cherry notes and hints of almond. Ok, it is a bit too sweet and not very traditional, but still, served cold on a warm summer day, it really is quite nice and refreshing.

Poured brown/red and offered a nose of cherries and yeast. It tasted like deep sweet cherries with a silky smoothness to the sugary aspect. The finish was long and sweet.

25 cL bottle (Souvenirs du Terroir Kriek (s Lands Souvenirs Kriek 3.5% ABV)). Pours dark brown with a red hue and a creamy light brown/pink head. Clear cherry flavoured with a little apple sourness. Flavour is sweet cherries with a peppery twist. Lovely sweet sour. Sweet sour finish. Simple kriek, nice.

Bottle. Red colour with mostly deminishing reddish head. Aroma has cherries, some hops and a little yeasty note. Aroma seems sweet´n sour. Almost astrigent fruit acids along with sweetness in the flavor. Lasting finish.

A very strong aroma of cherries and other fruits. Poured ruby red with a nice head that disapeared almost immediately. VERY strong taste of cherries and alcohol undertones. This being the only lambic I have tried, I don’t know how fair a review I can give it. Good only in small serings - ie. don’t drink the whole bottle in one sitting!

Very thick beer with little to no head. Tastes of strong fruit and light alcohol. Basic generic rating (insert fruit flavor here).

Smelled like cherries, almost to the point of "Starburst" or other candy. Red color suits it well. Very sweet cherry that leaves a thick syrupy taste on your tongue. I could see having it after dinner but it’s nothing too notable.
