Pours a red w/a bubbly pink head. Aroma of cherry lifesavers candy. Flavor is sweet cherries, sugar has a soft light minerally backing with a faint tinge of tart green apple in the finish. Spritzy body with ample carbonation.

Bottle. Served in a flute. Pours Red with a small pink head. Smells like, well, cherries, but was a bit on the artificial syrup side. Although the flavor was a bit sugary, I liked it very much, just like the other Lindemans brews. Some tartness too. Medium, fizzy body. Nice refreshing dessert.

A cloudy dark plum beer, with a 1 inch pink head that lasts 10 minutes. Aroma is of malty cherry. Flavor is really good cherry. Texture is fizzy. This is my favorite flavor of the lindemans lambics. medium/light body. Natural finish.

...this stuff is amazing, but wow is it sweet. Whatever they use as a sugar sub is the only thing that does not make it good enough. Great cherry flavor, almost overpowering, but not. Nice wheat malt, smooth finish. I like this stuff, but it is way overpriced.

250 ml bottle. Deep ruby red, thin reddish head. The aroma is full of cherry (as one might expect...). Sweet and sour flavor - tastes a bit like cherry lemonade, a bit too sweet for my taste. I know there are plenty of people who like this but it’s just not my cup of tea (excuse the pun).

Beautiful deep ruby red pour with frothy pink head. Loved the cherry aroma - wasn’t phony like a sugary Kool-Aid mix. Flavor was pleasantly sweet with a nice sour finish. Balanced on the palate. I’m new to the style. Not sure I love the style, but this was a pleasant diversion from my steady diet of Hefes, Wits and big Stouts.
