Lindemans Apple (Pomme)

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

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.

[Odense-tasting at Scheffel. Bottle bought in La Roche-en-Ardenne.] This is heavy sweet and almost too much. Funny to see that it also has got some very high notes. It must have been sampled on a hot summerday. Anyway, notes of green perfumed apples, candy apple, hardly swallowed and flavor is like a cider. Good for my rabbit!

The bottle looks like a champagne and there is realy a cork in it. Tasty fruit beer, like a fizzy apple juice.

Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Light orange in color upon pouring. Sweet apple aroma. Like a green Jolly Rancher. Very sweet candy apple flavors. Like liquid apple sugar. Nice a refreshing. I do like a good cider and this is kind of like a lot of US American ciders I’ve tried.

On tap. Pours an almost very light green shade of yellow, fluffy white foam, decent retention and lacing. Smells like a green apple jolly rancher. Tastes like one too. Easily the most offensive of the Lindeman’s lineup, was like sour apple syrup.

750ml bottle. Very pale yellow with a big white head, lots of carbonation. Very strong green apple aroma. Very sweet green apple flavor, almost tastes like a jolly rancher. Dry finish.

Flute poured from a 75cl bottle. Pours a light yellow green, almost no head. Aroma of green apples. Flavour was not overly strong with apples but seemed a little watery. Just pick the Framboise with dessert.
