Lindemans Kriek

12 oz. Bottle. Pours dark red and has a medium red head. Has a strong smell of sweet cherries and what seems like almonds. The taste is more of a tart cherry flavor. Obviously this type of beer is not for everybody, but if you’re looking to try something different, this is a nice change of pace.

I absolutely love fruit lambics, so that said lets rate this baby.. It pours a bright red with a medium pink head The aroma is very much so upfront tart/sweet cherry (again, its a cherry lambic) and maybe some oak aroma. The flavor is sweet/tart cherry as well with some spicy bite to it. The palate is that wonderful champagne feeling, that small bubble light carbonation that dances across your mouth and down your throat and lets you know that you can feel your stomach. The finish is carbonated and sweet.

The color was a deep red. The head was pink, thick, and fizzy. The aroma was a strong cherry smell. It smelled like candy, sweet and tart. The flavor was tart, strong cherry, and sweet. The palate was slightly carbonated. The finish was tart.

Pours a ruby color with slight pink head. Aroma is of black cherry, must, lambic funkiness and yeast. Taste is of a cherry jolly rancher with a slight tartness that imparts a mouth puckering on its consumer. This would be a good lambic if the sweetness was more subdued and that lambic funk was more prevalent. I can definitely see how thr artificial flavoring ruins the experience.

Hazy red with a lasting pink head. Strong cherry aroma, a bit on the candy side. Flavour has some acid, and a nice tart finish. Must be one of the best easy-to-drink krieks.

Sour cherry aroma. Clear dark red colour with good head and lacing. Sweet sour cherry flavour. Fizzy palate.

] Too easy to rip on Lindemans. You won’t find any ripping here. Yes its sweet and fruity. So be it. Looking past that it still has some tartness and complexity. Its there, but you have to look for it. So pour a second glass... Clear ruby red, not as purply as the framboise. A touch of pink in the sparkly carbonated head. Sweet fizzy beer. And sweet pie cherry. That’s what they are shooting for - that’s what you get. It is that touch of tartness in the aftertaste that tells me that this is a good beer. Very few fruity beers are better than Lindeman’s. It isn’t what lambics are all about, but that’s OK by me - I still like it. And if I bring a bottle home for the wife, well...

Kind of a black cherry red (imagine that...) with only a trace of white-pink foam, no real head to speak of. The faintest hint of hop aroma, but mostly cherries. Very sweet at start (a bit too much for my beer tastes); big cherry taste persists through to a nice sour finish (the transition is fun-tightness in the jaw like a sour apple...).
