Lindemans Kriek

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Fruit
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Clear red color with okay head. Synthetic aroma and taste of cherry. I don’t like it but its the best beer the kids ever tasted (age 2 and 4)!!

This was pretty tasty. Beautiful pour, deep red with just the right amount of cloudiness for it to catch light in beautiful ways that show the depth of the drink. Head could have been a little prettier though. I didn’t get much aroma from it, what was there was cherry. Taste is sweet and tart cherry with a number of flavours underneath it that are very subtle, I think I could taste some wheat, some yeast pungence. It’s smooth, carbonated just right for a drink of this nature, and had a fairly substantial feel in my mouth, without being too syrupy. Very refreshing.

"Ended my night on this. Poured a red with a nice head and left some lacing. Aroma was of cherries and something, not sure what. Flavor was mostly cherries Nice carbonation. "

Bottle at Beer Sellar. Poured reddish brown with a moderate frothy head that was mostly diminishing and produced fair lacing. Heavy cherry aroma. Light to medium body with fizzy carbonation. Full cherry flavor with a small sour finish. Blended with a double chocolate stout to make a cherry chocolate soda.

(Bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Murky reddish-brown pour. Fizzy pink head. Strong aroma of sour cherries. Lots of sloppy, foamy lacing. Very carbonated, so has a bubbly mouthfeel. Tastes of malt and cherries with a nicely sourish finish. Is alot like drinking an alcoholic black cherry soda, but I didn’t find it overly sweet. Actually quite tasty. Sure beats a crappy wine cooler.

Tried this from a 25 cl bottle at Pannrummet in Gothenburg, Sweden. Deep red clor and a fresh pink head. Some acid but moslty "bitter almond" scent. Taste also a mix of acid and bitter almonds. After taste is a bit fruity, like you had some non-alcoholic lemonade.

Hazy red color with a pink head. Cherry aroma, tart cherry flavor. Nice medium carbonation. Overall this is pretty nice, something I would have now and then, but it is generally kind of overpriced.

The bottle poured a hazy cherry red beverage with a medium sized pink smooth head that was mostly diminishing but left good lacing on the glass. The aroma of sour cherries was pronounced (of course) with notes of citrus in the background. The body was somewhat thin with medium carbonation and a sticky texture. The flavor starts off sweet and tart almost exactly like cherry soda. The finish is medium and still has a hint of the sweet cherry soda remaining. Maybe I just don’t appreciate Lambics yet but if I had wanted a cherry soda, I would have bought one and paid a lot less than I did for this.
