Lindemans Kriek Lambic

Hmmm...yet another gem from Lindemans. Fonnie and I have a strange draw to these fruit beers. They're not amazing by any stretch of the word - but they sure are interesting.

Pours almost blood red with a huge, pink head. It is kinda opaque though - a little weird. It smelled of sour cherries...that's it. Were you expecting something else? And the taste was a huge surprise...not. Cherries! Sour and tart at the same time - interesting combination. Texture was very smooth but no body whatsoever to speak of. It was just flat, cherry, liquid.

Not a huge surprise from this fruit brew. It has it's highs and lows and makes tradeoffs in normal brew focuses for amazing smell and taste. Great if you're looking for a gimmick; I sure loved it.

Appearance - 3.5
Smell - 4
Taste - 3.8
Texture - 2.8
Overall - 3.53/5
