8/26/06: Bottle.
Flavored apple nose. Body is sunshine yellow with a white lace. Flavor is of apple syrup with a touch of cinnamon. Crisp finish.

Bottled, Peterborough Beer Festival 2006. Cloudy. A lot of apple in the aroma - in fact, it tasted a lot like apple juice. Thick and sour and not too carbonated. Nice, but you wouldn’t know it is beer.

[Bottle 4% ABV] Dark, muddy yellow. Firm head. Apple juice aroma. Refreshing sourish apple flavour. Very drinkable, very quenching. The perfect summer drink.

Bottle, Peterborough BF 06. Cloudy dark straw colour, thin white head. Sweet apple aroma with some sour apple. Very sour apple taste, quite sweet. Palate is thin, carbonated. Nice and sour.

Light brown – frothy white head – jolly rancher sour apple, caramel, yeast, pepper nose- candy red apples, sour green apples, caramel (caramel covered apples) – medium body – sweet/sour aftertaste

This fruit-Lambic pours a slightly hazy apricot color from a 12oz cork and capped bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is green apples, candi sugar and fruity sweet. A medium to light bodied lambic. Lots of green apple flavors. Very sweet, almost cloyingly sweet, but there is a touch of tartness that keeps it just this side of being a Jolly Rancher. There is at ouch of malt, but not much. Not a lot of funk or tartness either. Its not quite a cider and its not a alco-pop, but I would be hard pressed to figure the beer character in here. In that respect its more typical of a Lindemans fruit lambic. I just wish it were a little more tart… Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Pours a hazy apricot body with a small offwhite head. Some patchy sheet lacing. Aroma is apple cider and tart green apples with a hint of bubblegum. Tastes like green apple bubblegum with a note of lambic acidity. Some slight mustiness, but grows a bit cloying. Not as pleasant as the brewery’s other fruit lambics but still a solid effort.

(06.04.06) 12 oz green bottle from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. Poured hazy yellow with small white head. Soft carbonation. Green apple aroma. Medium bodied lambic that starts with light malt sweetness and tangy sour green apple flavor. Finished with green apple flavoring. Quite tasty as an aperitif, particularly if you like green apples like I do.
