Lindemans Pêche Lambic (Pêcheresse)

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

I don’t like peaches and I don’t like lambics. Not really sure what I was thinking with this one. Pours a light peach color with a medium sized fluffy head that is semi carbonated. Nose is peaches. Taste is overwhemling peaches with a bit of funk and some wood. I just said yuck and put it down.

we are both drinking out of the new lindemans’ glass she bought me as an early christmas present. this beer appears to be a hazy blonde (kind of like the missus) with a about a quarter inch of light head with very nice lacing. i like the way this beer looks, especially in the glass. the smell of this beer is BIG peach. very robust. i could smell it all day. the taste of this beer is again peach. it’s a very refreshing tasting beer. it’s very fruity and sweet, but not in a bad way. the mouthfeel on this beer is great. very carbonated and it’s a near perfect balance. i could drink these every day, but i don’t. this is a great beer at night after a nice meal. i’d love to have a piece of pound cake with it.

Bottle poured into a flute. Pours a honey straw color with a medium white head. Leaves a thorough, pretty lacing on the glass. Looks like a typical American wheat (save the nice lacing). Aroma is pleasant... very sweet and fruity, peaches definitely distinguishable, but not much else...leaves the nose wanting a bit more. The flavor is extremely sweet, alomost candy-like, very peachy, and the candy sweetness lingers for some time. Some sour character coupled with the aforementioned sweetness gave this a bit of depth and complexity. Okay palate, could use a little more thickness, but the carbonation adds to its refreshing quality. Overall I thought this was a very tasty beer, very drinkable, although left me wondering how legitimate the ’beer’ classifaction really is.

Sweet aroma for this pale orange lambic. Very sweet flavor with a slighty tart aftertaste. Good for dessert.

Pours into my 25cl tulip glass with an initial, almost two-finger thick, pale, off-white colored head that manages to leave some layered lace patterns on the sides of my glass. The beer is a brilliantly clear honey color, but shows a bright gold color when held up to the light. The aroma is dominated by clear peach notes; smells lightly sweet with a strong, floral peach note. No matter how I try I can’t smell anything else, in fact I made myself light-headed even trying.

Sweet, well very sweet and well carbonated. It tastes like a peach soda, though it has a thickness to it that no soda has. The carbonation is ample and makes this quite fizzy feeling. Peach flavors are of course prominent here, though with peach being a fairly soft fruit flavor, the sweetness seems to trump the peach character. There is perhaps a touch of a lactic twang in the finish, that just might show there was some Lambic harmed in the making of this brew, but really this is all about being a sweet, fizzy peach-soda. As the beer warms up a bit the peach notes become on par with the sweetness.

Really not beer, refreshing and tasty as a soda, though it is a bit too sweet & thick to be a great example of that.

Bottle. Pours a golden orange with a fairly good amount of head. Aromas of obviously peach, candi sugar, some slightly dry malt. Taste is fairly fruity, effervescent, a straightforward peach lambic.

Pours light orange colored, with a 2 inch fizzy white head that disappears rapidly. Light lacing. Smells like dark fruit. Taste’s like orange/peach soda. Not really like beer at all. Mouthfeel is a little fizzy and pretty dry. finish is dry, and fruity.

Hazy deep amber with tiny short lasting white head. Sweet fruity aroma with strong peach and fruit tea notes. Very sweet flavor with peachy and light sourish notes. Ends sweet.
