Lindemans Kriek

Lindemans Kriek is a Fruit Lambic. This is probably the most recognizable Lambic series on the market, and often disregarded by purists for being too sweet and using artificial ingredients. Pours a deep dark red color with a huge fluffy pink head. The taste? Sweet, sweet and more sweet. This is totally dominated by sweet and slightly tart black cherries. I feel like this is a great “introduction to the style” version of this beer. There is basically no funkiness or complexity making an easy to enjoy dessert beer for many “non-beer drinkers”. I’ve had quite a few Kriek Lambics that I think were way better, but I have to admit I do really like this beer. The bottom line: although it’s crazy sweet, and it’s far from life changing, it still tastes good to me!
