Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Deep purple, pink head. Tart evident black curant aroma. Sweet black currant flavour with a fair amount of drying vinegart acidity. Tart enough to be refreshing, but with a very straight forward and overpowering black currant flavour, taking away the complexity of the lambic base.

Jun 18, 2008 bottle; deep purple with pink head. tart raspberry and presumably black currants, delicate tickle from carbination followed by sweet malt balanced with lots of tart fruit. and finishes with a sour lingering dark berry aftertaste. surprisingly well balanced and delicate tasting lambic.

Jun 7, 2008 750ml corked bottle. Purple-black color, with a violet hued head. Sweet and slightly sugary, completely dominated by the natural flavor of black currants. This is pretty much paradise juice. Mild and easy drinking on one level, but completely worth savoring every sip. Excellent.

Jun 4, 2008 375ml bottle, pours a rich blackberry-purple with a thin pink head that quickly subsides. Smells candyish, nice heavy fruit aromas dominate, but as it warms the base lambic characteristics show up- some lactic and acetic acids. The flavor doesn’t seem as "synthetic" as does the kriek or frambose, but is a bit more natural. Still just a hair too sweet for my preference, but very good with enough acid to keep the balance leaning to the tart side. I think this is Lindemans best lambic.

May 30, 2008 Pours an opaque purpose with moderate but long lasting violet head. Super sweet aroma, very fruity. Nice flavour - bitter and sweet notes mix together well. The sweetness borders on the artificial, but otherwise is a fantastic beer.

Sweet taste with a strong acidity. Blackcurrant dominating. Hints of wood. Interesting lacing. Champagne-like mouthfeel. Sour finish with oak showing up.
