Commercial Description:
Lindemans Tea Beer is a lambic beer brewed with barley malt, wheat and hops. A spontaneous fermentation and maturation on tea leaves results in an artisanal tea-flavoured beer. Adding lemon juice we become a surprising "sweet-sour" lemon taste. Drink it icecold.

Gueuze sourness in aroma with sweet green tea added. Bit of cardammon or cinnamon. Orange-amber clear with off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with nice sour-sweet balance, typical of the Lindemans line. Great green tea flavor, notes of rose. Finish is medium tart, with sugary undertones. After is mild with tea.

Bottled 25cl. It pours a golden beer with a white head. The nose is of candy. Woody and pleasantly sour with just a hint of tea. Sweet taste balanced by a good sourness. Decent lacing. Highly refreshing. Hints of candy, wood and lemon. A nice bite to this beer. Acidic finish with a hint of lemon.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small foamy head. Fruit strawberry and raspberry along with tea in aroma. Fruits and berries along with tea (incl the dryness) in the flavour. Very pleasant. Sweet and sourish finish and aftertaste.

Bottle, 25 cl. (Bought by Pauwels) Clear orange color with small white head. Aroma sweet (sugar) fruits, lemon. Medium body. Taste is close to lindemans peache, very sweet, a little sourness, and a tea touch. But refreshing on a summer day ?

Bottle at home and a pleasant suprise. First off it doesnt drink like a beer, no real hop or malt character. but it is quite pleasent to drink, and as such i have scored it... Nice amber colour ... slightly sour and lemon tart nose ... definitly some tea in the base but mostly lemon and lemon peel.

0.25l bottle at the Hopdevil, Zagreb
I seem to have liked this more than most.Poured a nice orange/amber colour with a small creamy head. The nose was quite nice. Rose water, lemond and a touch of yeast. The taste is... yeah, tea, dry, a bit astringent even, lemon (but not too much of it), some bubblegum and yeast. Original and interesting. Less ice tea like than I thought it would be. Oh, and a big part of the label was in Chinese. Odd.

right on jbrus I liked it too! It kind of tastes like how my ideal iced tea would. Fruity and a touch of that lambic sourness too. Probably a touch too sweet, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Sweet fruit aroma, copper colour, a small custard head. Sour/tart with yes, a hint of tea. Very refreshing, crisp, tart. High marks for originality!
