Lindemans Pêche Lambic (Pêcheresse)

12 oz Bottle Poured into a flute with a hazy gold colour with a small white head. Aroma of peach, wheat, sweet malts and yeast. Initial taste is sweet, ripe peach, apple and slight hint of champaign. Finishing palate is tart, wheat and peachy but fades quicker than expected. Some lacing of the glass and some head retention.

Bottle. Pours hazy apricot, off white head. Aroma is peach, vanilla butter frosting. Flavor is the same with slight funkiness. I’m not too impressed. I guess this is something light to drink when you’ve had one too many martinis but still want an alcoholic drink without risking table dancing or getting sick.

The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Pours a hazy orange with pink hues, not that far from peach juice. A small head has modest retention and leaves insignifigant lacing. The aroma is obviously purposely sweet, inundated with wheat malt, candy sugar, peach juice(realistic), acids, flowers and yeast. The flavor is cloying, too much so for the plentiful wheat to seem refreshing. Acidity is medium, bitterness low, acidity medium-high and sharp. The finish is off-dry and wheaty, light sweet peach fading slowly. The palate is softly though adequately carbonated, light-medium bodied and very sticky from loads of sugars. Average.

Pours a sparkling gold with a white frothy head. Aroma of sweet peach and apple. Medium-bodied, effervescent and relatively dry for such a sweet beer. This beer tastes much like a sweet champagne punch. Tart, sweet and crisp with dry peach and apple notes. Ironically, I found the apple note just as pronounced as the peach, if not more so. Perhaps I sampled an "off" bottle, but I didn’t get the bold peach nectar flavors that others describe in their ratings.

Draft, pours amber, taste is sweet but not overly so. Wow, a delicious peche, well balanced, great on a summer day, just a fantastic example. all around.

[Sampled with Henrik at Jyske Øldage, 2004 in Kolding.] At the finish we attacked the Lindemans section to catch some fruitbeer after a lot of strong belgians. The all were very good and we defenately agreed that it couldn’t be better. Now three years later, we go for the sips.

Well one of the most intereting ber i have ever tasted. Dark colpeachy colour even with peacy taste. Very fruity and very dıfferent, Something very very extravagant.
