| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2005 Dark crimson with a nice pink head and lacing. Nose of barn, socks, and berries. Smooth silky texture. Nice tart berry flavors with some horse blanket background. Some sour but more sweet than sour. This is the most tart of the Lindeman fruit line (that we can get here in the USA) and it my favorate of that line up. Very nice balance but still too sweet for a lambic. BennyTicklez (621), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2005 Pours reddish, purpley, pinky. Fizzy pink head. Cobweb, barnyard aroma and flavor. Taste is similar to the framboise, just a different berry. Very sweet, makes me pucker. Good stuff for something different. Probiere (992), Iowa, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 31, 2005 Smell slight funk with musty berry skin overtones. Taste mild tartness, strong fruit flavor, not TOO too sweet, but still damn sugary. Not bad. Not great. When I need a sweet beer fix I’ll reach for some other Lindemans. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 12, 2005 Blackish purple-red w/ creamy dark pink foam. Sweet, blackcurrant aroma w/ an underlying grape-like tartness. Light, sugary, juicy body. Very sweet blackcurrant flavour gives way to a light tannic tartness. Finish is dry & mildly acidic finish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 9, 2005 Smells like freshly cut vines, which is a tad bit strange... Nonetheless, this is quite a nice ol’ brew. Sour and sweet, with emphasis on the sour. I have never tasted a currant, so I couldn’t begin to tell you how closely this brew resembles one. Good stuff.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 7, 2005 3,5% ABV. Pours unclear deep red colored with a solid pink head. Aroma of Ribena, black currants with mint tones. Flavor is very heavy also of black currants again with that funny tone of mint. Good sourness in the end. A nice and refreshing beer, but more like a fruit beer than a lambic! Quite impressive for a 3,5% beer! Cornfield (4944), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jan 3, 2005 Once more, I’m missing the allure of a fruit lambic. This pours a deep burgundy color with a tall, creamy pink head. The aroma is very fruity, of course, and somewhat tart. It’s got a fizzy mouthfeel and tastes like sweet/sour currants. Finishes on a tart, fruity note. tobias (155), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 1, 2005 375ml bottle: pours a nice grape red burgandy color, with a lavender head. the a aroma a tart, musty and fruity with hints of horseyness and oak. the flavors is a quite balabced tart and sweet currant grape like. sour and acidic, yet very sweet for a lambic. there is a slight woody, farm character on the end.
