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...

Jan 13, 2007 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...).

Jan 9, 2007 Bottle poured ruby red with a short offwhite head. Aromas of cherries, sugar, a touch of caramel, and some funk. Flavor is big tart cherries, some sourness, and alot like a cherry cough drop. Slight bitterness at the finish. Palate is fizzy like a soda almost.. Tickles the tongue.

Jan 2, 2007 Red, very tart, delicious. Pretty much the standard for this style, if just because of the availability. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Jan 2, 2007 Bottle. Poured red with a pick head. Big aroma and flavor of cherries and sweetness. Medium to full body. Enjoyable to even those that are not craft beer drinkers. Made a great alternate from the usual Champaign for the New Years Eve midnight toast!

Jan 1, 2007 Another good Lambic, but not the best. It almos has a cherry cough drop taste to it, along with a little bitterness.
