Lindemans Kriek

A clear red beer with a huge beutiful pink head. The aroma is totally dominated by cherries. The flavor is also dominated by cherries, but on a woody background and hints of sourness. It is only hints of the wild fermentation - and that is a little sad. Drink it cold as an apperitif - but don't expect a real lambic from this beer.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Comes as "Foudroyante Kriek" - the name used by Lindemans on the French market. Very pretty, deep red colour with a lovely pink head. Pronounced cherry in the nose - apparently with no less than 25% fruit (both whole cherries and cherry juice). Rather sweet and cherry-flavoured with an underlying tartness from the Lambuc. Unfortunately also with artificial sweeteners and aroma. Shame on you. 260603

Deep red with semi-sweet, fresh cherry flavour. Refreshing, but far from the complexity of Girardin’s or Boon’s interpretations of the style.

Bottle, 3.5%. Sweet, very fat cherry aroma. Clear dark red colour. Small pink head. The flavour is quite sweet with a distinct cherry note. Quite a lot of cherry bubble gum. OK tartness that tries to balance off the sweetness. Not sour enough, but making it drinkable and even enjoyable.
