Lindemans Kriekenlambik

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

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. Deep blood merlot red color and still in the glass. Pungent bloody red grapes and balsamic vinegar in the nose, even resembles steak to some degree. Flavor is heavy red wine, rich syrah even, with a deep, developing sourness and a rich, sour and puckery texture. Probably one of the most sour lambics sampled at the WSF.

Tap@SpontaneousWeekend08. Sweet cherry aroma. Very dark red color, like a glass of fine wine, no head. Sweet, lots of cherries, light sourness, marzipan. Very full and soft mouthfeel. Like a nice easy red wine. Yummy!

Draught @ WSF. Bright red with no head. Sour cherry nose with a hint of yeast. Taste is again sour cherry, slightly medicinal with some vinegar acidity. Tart but thin.

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 07. Hazy red of color, no head. An aroma of cherries and cherrystones, notes of horse-yes i kissed a horse the night before in Buggenhaut ;). A flavor of cherries, sour notes and a dry finish.

WOSF 07’ Hazy bright red in the glass. Strong cherry pit, acid, cherry juice and blackcurrant in both the aroma and flavour. The flavour also carries some almond and funk. Softer in sharpness in the otherwise clean finish. Extremely nice.

Draught@ The Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation. Quite light in body, with a soft mouthfeel. Not much body or length in the flavour, some citric farmyardy sourness, but also with odd notes of rubber and metal.

On tap @ Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2007. Hazy and red in colour. Notes of fruit, cherries, wood, vinegar and earth.

A Mes rate: Draught. Very pale coloured. Staright forward kriekenlambic with very little to get excited about. Slight funk in the nose. Baby sick in the flavour with some vague sourness. Nothing too special.
