Lindemans Kriek

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

so sour an aroma my eyes watered, cherry-candy like...cloudy red with a beautiful pink but thin head, sweet but not overpowering cherriness, subtle sourness that ends in a sweet cherry-hard-candy like finish, I can’t even believe that there is any alcohol in this..

My first lambic ever. A very fruity aroma as expected with a deep rose color. I used my Chimay Goblet for the tasting. Slightly malty, no hoppy flavor, however instead of a subtle sweetness from the cherries, it was tart, quite tart. I’m going to explore the world of lambics a bit more and perhaps rerate this.

Dark cherry red color. Quickly receding light red head. Lovely sweet cherry nose. Sweet fruit up front quickly balanced by a slight sourness and hop spice. Clean, dry finish leaving a pleasing bit of cherry sourness. Perhaps a bit too effervescent. Delicious but I prefer the Lindemans Cassis. The New Glarus Cherry is superior.

Lots and lots of cherry flavor. Blood red and very reminiscent of Robatusin or cherry syrup. Very flowery aroma that was rather pleasing. You need to really enjoy lambics and cherry flavoring to get this one. If you’re getting a Lindeman’s though I’d stick w/ the raspberry.

My first lambic; sweet, sour, tart, metallic - a little bit of everything here... Reminds me of a champagne cocktail on steroids. Descriptions are one thing, but you really have to experience this to understand it. I’ll be able to say more once I experience the rasberry and peach variations.

Ruby colored with a fluffy pink head. Nose is of cherries and the typical lambic ’horse-blanket’ variety. It is a bit too sweet, but you gotta love a beer that’s fermented naturally with wild yeast strains, I don’t care if you call me Mr. fufu. It’s an enjoyable brew, not quite as good as the Framboise (because I’m partial to raspberries) but it’s certainly worth a try if you’re contemplating it.

Rich ruby-red colour with a large pink head that quickly recedes. Strong cherry aroma with hints of malt and red wine. Flavour starts very sweet - almost cloying - but it turns pleasantly tart towards the finish. Not an everyday beer, but on this hot summer night, it's going down very nicely.

easily enjoyable, it had a sparkling wine taste, but without much carbination. A uniuque soft pink head and candy smell from this beer. It has a sweet taste that gives way to a tart aftertaste
