Lindemans Apple (Pomme)

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Fruit
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

The beer from the 350ml caged and corked bottle pours a hazy deep gold color with a modest creamy white head, that fades away leaving the lace to seal the glass with a fine sheet. Nose has a terrific “Granny Smith Apple” sweet and sour aroma with a wet “gunny sack” musty tone, astringent, but likeable nonetheless. Start continues the sweet and sour astringency with the top light in its feel. Finish has a barbarous acidity, followed by the “green apple” sweet and sourness, face-puckering dryness, but it has everything I look for in a good Lambic.

Draft at Beneluxx in Philadelphia. First off, I am not going to analyze this as a "beer" or whether it’s a true lambic. I am going to rate this on how I enjoyed it as an adult beverage. Pours a hazy golden with a dissipating white head. The aroma smells like liquid apple jolly ranger candy. The flavor is pretty much the same, sweet apple hard candy with a touch of sourness. Texture is a tad syrupy, but not offensive. This is truly a dessert drink, and a better alternative to the Smirnoff Ice, Zima, and other shit that wussies like to drink. Heck, my four year old daughter could drink this. If you have a sweet tooth, give it a try. If you want a beer, this hardly qualifies. However, Cheapdark would gladly share one with you

your traditional lindemans fruit lambic overly sweet and fruity. this is a little better than the others i’ve tried because you can at least taste hints of lambic mustiness far and faint in their background. i still would never recommend this as anything but an alternative to cider

Cloudy pour with nice head and a lemonade type color. Apple aroma is strong and the green sour apple flavor predominates. Little or no malt flavors in there. Nice accent with a dessert, but not a main course beverage.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is light amber. Aroma and taste are fresh apple with some citrus freshness. Nice and sweet.

Fruit juicy. Apple and tartness throughout. Granny smith apples is all I can taste.

Single bottle from the local grocery store marked down to $2.99, I like it already. Bountiful aroma of tart apple and sour malt, crisp and snappy. An earthy yeastiness showed up near the end. Cloudy, deep, golden yellow with a thin bubbly white head and medium lacing. Smooth tartness with a sweet kick. Medium bodied with a long pleasant finish. Flavor is primarily green sour apple and musty malt. It’s dry, sweet, and tart altogether in a mellow blending of taste. Reminds me of a fermented version of the Apple Jolly Rancher candies. A nice refreshing Lambic, this is much, much better than their Kriek. If the cost were a little less, I would keep more of this around.

Nose of, well, apples, granny smith; flavor like a jolly rancher apple candy. Finishes with mild malts and woody yeast. Rather thin, but interesting i guess.
