Lindemans beers

Mildly turbid, dusty orange color; white foam. It owns the most enticing bouquet of any lambic I’ve tasted; ripe peach, sweet fruit pulp fragrance. In the mouth, the peach flavor is acidic and tart at entry, then it turns succulent, ripe and sweet, but never plump or cloying. Finishes long, clean, crisp and intensely peach-like. Unbelievably true to the fruit source. — P.P. (5/1/2003)

Lindemans Cuvée René Grand Cru Gueuze Lambic Beer

Price $11

The Cuvée René is one of the top examples of the traditional Gueuze style. Hazy and dark yellow in the glass. The bouquet leads with a distinct tart, barnyard character from the Brettanomyces, supported by aromas of lemon and puckering green apple. The palate is just as one would anticipate from the nose: mouthwatering citrus and pear skin laced with hints of hay… — L.B. (8/1/2012)

Lindemans Kriek Cherry Lambic

Deep crimson/ruby hue; pink foam. The sweet, ripe black cherry aroma is nuanced and seductive. On palate, the taste explodes on the tongue, offering concentrated flavors of hardcore black cherry and blackberry. Aftertaste is razor-edged, refreshing, tart and acidic.

Lindemans Faro Lambic

Price $6

The Faro style is a unique Flemish classic, more popular in Belgium than in the U.S. Historically, sugar or simple syrup was added to young, unblended lambic to balance the beer’s tart acidity. This beer offers all of the classic lambic tartness and barnyard characteristics, but it’s countered with a sweet fruitiness and caramel accent that makes it stand out… — L.B. (8/1/2012)
