Lindemans Pêche Lambic (Pêcheresse)

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

Golden, slightly pink coloured beer. White tall, but fast collapsing head. Peach aroma. Fresh fruity aroma, more peaches. Citrus. Sourish notes. Some underlying malty sweetness. Sugar sticky palate. Delicious Lambic. Uncomplex though.

Bottle: The color is actually peach, kind of works well that way, huh? Also a bit orange. As is the aroma, who would have thought that? But it also had some sugary/sweet aromas like a cheap white wine (like my most recent one from Missouri). Quite enjoyable and definitly not bad, but there could have been more beer to it, I thought. Of course its a Lambic and they aren’t the fruitiest of things.

Hazy, peachy-colored with a fully diminishing, fizzy white head. Aromas were unripened peach & sweet green grapes... reminded me of one of those cheap, sweet, flavored wines. Flavors started moderately sweet and sour, with a sweet and acidic ending. Finish feel pinched my cheeks with an astringency like that of SweetTarts™. It performed as you would expect it to.

Transparent orange hue to it with a practically non-existant head The aromas were of musty peaches, dry apples and a hint of white wine. The flavors were a bit more enticing though: a pleasant blend of peach, apricot and apple. Not bad but I prefer their raspberry lambic.

Poured from a bottle. Aroma is lightly of peaches with a little sourness. Appearance is apricot colored with a thick head that becomes thin and lasts. Bubbles cling to the side of the glass as I sip. Not quite as sweet as something like Nehi Peach Soda but very sweet for a beer. I find the taste to be wonderfull. I don’t drink these because I like beer. I drink these because after a long day of work and driving home in a car with a broken air conditioner on a day with a heat index of 105 degrees I just want a peach soda with a little bit of alcohol in it and I want it to taste like real peaches. Tasty and refreshing.

(500ml bottle) Pours a thin, white foamy head with a cloudy, sediment-filled, golden body. Nose is very faint - wet cork and distant sweet peaches. Flavours is very apples, apricots and peaches. Too sweet and artificial Granny Smith taste.

I suppose you could say this smells and looks like a peach...maybe. Mostly, this reminds me very strongly of apple juice. Perhaps some peaches at the finish, but not as pretty of a beer as their other lambics. If this was as cheap as apple juice, it would be great, but it’s not.

(Bottle 25 cl) Orange coloured (apricot) with a small head. Light and refreshing with very strong peach flavour (can this really be just natural juices?). But sweet - too sweet. Consider this as an alternative to icet ea or sodapop - it hasn’t got much to do with beer. 200997
