Bottle from Takanaya in Tokyo. OK, I hate myself when I rate Lindemans. I have a terrible sweet tooth, so I am biased when rating sweeter beer. I also don’t like using the word beer for Lindemands, maybe beersoda is better. Pours yellow with hint of orange. I would expect a redder tea color for this beer. Little or no head. Aroma of sugar and lemon. Not bad, maybe a little nice, because of the refreshing cleaness of the aroma. Taste is very sweet, whoa. Sourness is very mild, don’t expect a gueze. OK, I did it. I rated it only a 3.3, which is less than 7 of the highest raters. Great. My Japanese mother in law loves it, and calls it better than Still Naught.

Bottle. Pours brownish amber. White head. Little brown floaters. Nose of old tea, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pleasant. Taste is a bit abrasive with tons of artificial sugar, tea, cinnamon and nutmeg. Short almost nonexistent finish. Lightish body.

Süßlich-fruchtiger Geruch, der von einer minimal minzigen Note unterbrochen wird. Extrem süßer Antrunk, der sich erst einmal steigert. Man merkt, dass hier mal eine gewisse Säuerlichkeit vorhanden war, die ich mir zurückwünsche. Verhalten fruchtig, etwas künstlich. Anschließend limonenartig, das Bier wird bis in den Nachgeschmack immer süßer, was zu diesem Moment bereits unangenehm ist. Beitönig ist immer wieder ein Aroma zu erkennen, dass ich der Behandlung mit den Tee-Blättern zuordne, ausnahmsweise mal schlecht, dass ich nie Tee trinke, sonst hätte ich einen Vergleich. Dieser Ton ist interessant, gerät aber durch die extreme Süße in den Hintergrund. Deutlich zu süß! Test vom 3.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,8,5,8,8 - 7,80

Bottle from Beer Planet. Pours golden with a white head. The aroma is extremely perfumed with strong sweet notes of violets, lemon and hints of cinnamon. Flavour is sweet with a sour hint and has mainly notes of sweet lemon et but also violets. Ends with a long violet after taste.

Bottle with a best before date of 28Jan2012 thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a hazed yellow body-orange body (not a very pretty hue) with a quick to fade white head. Aromas of lemon, sweetened green tea (Liptons type cheap stuff sold in soda bottles), a bit of funk, honey comb and cake icing. Flavors of SWEET. Wow, really sweet. Sort of ice tea (mass market) like, but sweet. A bit of lemon, and a lot of sweetness. Not a malty sweetness, a sugary one. Like most Lindemans beers, I feel like I might get diabetus from this, but unlike the other ones, the flavor really isn’t nauseating. A strange concoction. Beer cocktail like.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Very strong tasting zesty lemon and lambic sharpness. The tea is quite subtle. Nice refreshing beer.

head: white, thin
colour: bit hazy, orange, amber
smell: tea, sourness, malts, sugar, bit of bitterness
taste: definitly tea in it , but more a bad and flat/watery flavour of ice tea , sweet but not overly , some sourness , and a bit of a dry palate

Bottle - Amber. Thin white head. Aroma of lollies. Very sweet. Tea is present but drowned out by the sugar. Disappointing.

250ml bottle. Very flat with no carbonation and no head, only a light sprinkle of bubbles around the rim. Cloudy brown tea colour with the aroma of cold tea with lime added to it. Quite flavoursome given that it doesn’t look that great. Surprising burst of spritziness in he mouth, very different.

Bottle at Haket, 2010-05-28, Göteborg AR: Geuze - even more sour after poring (odd?) + raspberries? AP: sandy yellow, wee dimingsing white head F: Geuze + lime - sweet and sour. What kind of tea flavour have the add? Geuze tea?
