Higher end for this style of beer. Nost as sweet as some I have had, lighter bodied, had some malty flavor besides the obvious cherry.

podey (553) - New York, New York, USA - JUN 14, 2013
355ml bottle at Draught 55. Pours a great looking garnet red with a huge rose colored head. Great looking beer, just lovely. Aroma is a mix of sweet and tart cherries with a bit of candy. Taste is mostly sweet cherries and sugar with a little bit of a tart bite on the finish. There’s lots of cherry candy sweetness going on here, but is expected in a Lindeman’s...

Tried "Kriek Foudroyante", which seems to be brewed by Lindemans, but I can hardly remind Lindemans’ version in the Foudroyante... Cherry is very strong, very very sweet. Too much in my opinion. Acidity comes at the end, but sugar is too strong.

jookos (829) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUN 10, 2013
Bottle. Dark red, clear. Sweet dark cherry nose, a bit of hayish malts. Body is sweet, with a slightly mouth drying finish. Pretty nice. Good, lingering flavors.

The_Bish (973) - West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUN 8, 2013
Cherries, not very sour. Very sweet though. Quite nice. Finger lickin good. Beastly track needs some arrangement.

jaghana (2874) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - JUN 5, 2013
Bottle 37,5 cl, a red beer with pikk head. Nose is acid like with intense red fruit notes. Aroma is very sweet, acid with an ugly artificial sweeteness at the finish, red fruit and currant notes, syrupy, very low lambic notes, too sweet.

pottygok (364) - Ohio, USA - MAY 30, 2013
Aroma: Sour, tart cherry -- almost medicinal. Appearance: Dark red with pale pink head. Taste: Heavy sweetness with hints of sourness Palate: Full body, slick oily texture, soft carbonation, long finish Overall: Too sweet for me, but it’s to be expected. Not disappointing, but not thrilling either.

Emeister84 (464) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - MAY 29, 2013
Aromas of black cherries, yeast, red twizzlers, and faint notes of angel food cake. Barely hazy red with a lasting, white head. Sweet, a little funky, yeasty, and tart. Medium bodied, zippy carbonation, and finishes abruptly and tart.

zickbeer_ye (67) - Virginia, USA - MAY 29, 2013
Black cherry and tart sour yeasty scent. Like pink foamy head and red with light pink hues. Yeasty sweet and sour cherry flavor. Tart carbonated and dry on the palate.
