Capped and corked and foiled 37.5cl green glass bottle pours with a more of a Gueze like aroma than I was expecting where it takes on the form of a clear copper body that has thin gold edges and supports a light tan head of foam. So the aroma from the glass starts with a tart acidic lime like funky Gueze yeastiness. A few more whiffs seem to reveal more of a mild powder apple sweet/tart candy like sensation. All in all a pretty Gueze-y aroma. The taste begins with tart acidic notes that have a mild puckering bite to them. It then gets into a modest degree of red apple sweetness before a malty sweet backed yeasty to funky acidic tartness takes the experience into the semi dry finish.

375ml bottle into glass. Bottle has crown seal AND cork. Sweet caramel malt nose, hazy golden beer with thin white head. Fruit juice sweet, surprising! Like grapefruit juice with a malt background. So the hops in this are a background not the main story. Easy drinking but WAY sweet.

In a Bios sniffer. Strong alky ale aroma. Metallic olfactory. Beautiful viscous brown orange clear appearance. The smell is no indicator of taste. Odd old mold citrus mild bitter bite on the upper back of the throat. Tingly fruit champagne palate. Farmyard lemon llime wet hay flavors. Finish is unique and appreciated. Dee Lish.

25cl bottle from eDrinks, Tallinn. Pours clear amber with a small, off-white head. Fruity, funky and refreshing. Quite pleasant.

Golden with some pink shade over it, off-white foam disapearing quickly. Lots of yeast particles floating. Aroma is sour, green apple, some lemon. Taste is slightly sour, acid. Not one of the best gueuzes. (Velp 201404)

THis reminds me of a very tart, golden champagne like beer. Highly carbonated, yet very little head was apparent. The aroma is frought with fruit. Just 'alright'

i gotta say, i think Lindemans forte is the fruit flavors. having this one on it's own, it was a bit of a letdown. I'm a fan of sours, but this was just wasn't anything special. A little sour/rotten apple quality, a little sweet, and too much carbonation, which was offset by the lack of a pleasant fruit aroma. I think I'm only a fan of top-of-the-line Geueze's, and this one is just average...

A sweet, sour apple note greets my nose as I pour this beer into my 25cl tulip glass. The head starts out a finger and a half thick, despite a reasonable pour and is a pale, off-white color. The beer is an amber, slightly copper tinged color that shows a lightly hazy, copper color when held up to the light. A deeper inspection of the nose yields a candy sweetness, that for some reason I wasn't expecting from even a Lindemans product. Green apple candies really is an apt descriptor for the aroma as that is the most noticed part. There is a touch of lactic character if you really dig for it and perhaps a touch of dusty malt.

Quite sweet tasting, but has a bit of tartness to it and it does not seem to be quite as sweet as the standard fruit beers from Lindemans, though it is still quite sweet. This finishes with a touch of musty, damp earthiness, which, with the sweetness, is about all that ties this to traditional Lambic. This tastes mostly like green apple syrup (jolly rancher in liquid form). This has a viscousness and heft that in combination with the sweetness makes me thing of syrup.

In the end I can't get past the candied apple character, it drowns out everything else and is overly sweet. This doesn't taste horrible, it doesn't have serious flavor flaws, it just is overly simplistic in its sweetness and not very good. This just isn't my cup of tea.

Pours a clear light amber yellow with a thick white head and lots of lacing. Very good carbonation. Aromas of sour honey with a sweet tartness and slight maltiness. Taste is exquisite with a great balance between the sour/tartness and sweetness. Somewhat fruity and yet mild. Loved this and will try again.
