Can! shared by oldstylecubsfan. Thanks Todd! This beer smells and tastes like a ludens cherry cough drop. Delish! Not tart or sour at all, but not terribly cloyingly sweet either. Pretty darn good if you ask me.

The first Lambic I ever tried. Left me a bit dissapointed. Maybe it was the bottle, maybe it was that fine kriek smell that made me expect something special. Don’t know now. The colour was a nice deep red, but the head was big, and pink (which was in a way off-putting). The taste was sour, with the cherries barely showing from time to time, and it felt watered down.

Pours light ruby with a fully receding white head. Aroma of cherries, apple, and leather. Taste is sweet, lightly tart, and a bit syrupy of cherry. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly sticky with soft foamy carbonation.

(on bottle) These dry, fruit beers tend to be odd for the averege beer-lover; me. But having this, deep ruby brew with a short-lasting pink head, to a sweet(very sweet)desert, actually was a good experience. A bit artificial, metallic aftertaste, though. RERATED: More experienced now, but it´s still a very sweet beer, candy if you like.

I liked this beer because the cherry wasn´t overpowering, the beer was warming, and got better as it got warmer. Not the best fruit beer, but pretty good.

Bottle. Dark, red coloured with a slim pink head. Aroma is cherry and medicinal-ish. Disappointing flavour, cherry, medicinal and wood, no nice sourness to be seen. Poor mouthfeel.

Bottle Pours a cloudy deep red with a good frothy white head that never completely goes away. It and nice lacing are maintained well. Aroma is a ver nice sour cherry with earthy musty hints. Flavor however leaves some to be desired. That strong cherry flavor is missing and only a tease of what could be there. Bread, yeast, old wood barrels are a nice inclusion but dissapointing on the cherry. Feel is lively and refreshing. Not very dry or sweet. The after taste is more like sucking on a piece of the barell used to store the stuff. Not bad, just doesn’t compare to the Lindemans.
