Lindemans Kriek

Bottle. Pink head. Red body. Cherry aroma. Bittersweet cherry flavor. Drunken relatively warm, maybe even better cold.

RATING 300 im really into lindemans, and this one is good as well; aroma is huge in sweet cherry...appearance of red wine/cherry red with aerated foamy pink head....flavor is heavy in tart and sweet black cherry; very natural in flavor and although its great, it is a bit simple; decent palate; more enjoyable that my rating suggests, but is lacking complexity

Although I don’t like the cherry beers that much, this is one I enjoy drinking. It is not to sweet and not the sour. It has a great taste of black cherry.

Pours a nice reddish hue with a fluffy pinkish head. Amazing black cherry wheat aroma. Wow, the taste is really strong, fruity, mostly cherries. This is my first lambic, not like beer as I’m used to it at all. Not sure how I feel about this style. A little too fruity for me.

NIce fruity aroma, almost the same as the Framboise, but with a nice cherry finish, as always, great lambic.

Rosée, jus fruits, fraise. Arôme de cerises très présent. Col moyen à l’effervescence soutenue. Saveur de cerise, cerise et aussi de cerise. Amertume symbolique.

I really have a hard time being objective about a beer like this. I just don’t like fruit, spices, etc. in my beer. That being said, I have tried to evaluate this in the context of what it is supposed to be, not necessarily what I migh t like. It certainly has a beautiful appearance with a clear light red pour and bubbly pink!!!??? head. The cherry aroma and flavor overwhelms everything. Effervescent, and slightly sour, it’s more like a sparkling wine than a beer. I guess as a desert beeer with something chocolate it would be quite appropriate.

Bottled. Cloudy red with pink head. Sweet cherry, most definitely, with a powdery chalky slightly sour character. Perfumed on the nose and a lingering skinny sharp flavour. More challenging than enjoyable.
