0.375l corked and capped bottle. Oh my this looks superb. It has this deep dark cloudy purple color on the pour, like the deepest beetroot purple and on top a nice medium sized red pink and quite lasting head, leaving small lacework down the sides of the glass. It has a earthy and sweet really fruity nose. Tons of sweet blueberries and blackberries, and a rush of black currants. I get some raspberries in the blend also and it's a quite cork infused as well. This smells a lot better than I thought before popping the cap. Really nice. It doesn't taste bad either this. A surprisingly full-bodied experience with a oily mouthfeel and a just below average carbonation level. Both sweet and a little sour in the taste, and again, it's packed with dark berries like the blue and black ones but it's the slightly sour black currants that dominates. Reminds me of the jam my mother used to make. I'm surprised over how much I actually enjoyed this one, but there's no doubt this is a lovely berry infused and tasty beer. 11.03.2016

At Bruges Beer Fest. It appears hazy dark purple with a pink fluffy head. The foam tastes like yoghurt. The aroma contains predominantly blackcurrant, also sugar, wheat and yeast. Tastes medium sweet and medium sour. Light in body but oily in texture. Pleasant mouthfeel. A bit too much sweetness.

355ml bottle. Pours a hazy, dark red with a large, frothy, long lasting, pink head that leaves plenty of lacing. Sweet aroma of black currants, yeast and a hint of oak. Sweet flavour of black currants and sugar with a tart, acidic, dry oaky finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation.

0.25 l bottle from ’Sterk Avondverkoop’, bottled in June 2015. Clear, deep red with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, pinkish head. Sourish-fruity, slightly sweetish aroma of black and redcurrant, elderberries and hints of wood and sorbet powder. Very sweet, slightly sourish, fruity taste of sorbet powder, elderberries, red and blackcurrant, followed by a short, sweetish-sourish finish with hints of wood. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent and astringent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Definitely one of the better non-authentic fruit lambics by Lindemans, but the excessive, rather artificial sweetness is still too much for me.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Deep purple with light purple head. Lots of sweet cassis, sour berries, light hay and cardboard, sugary, light dough, red berries. Quite sweet and under medium sour. Medium bodied with slight sticky feel. Smells not that good but tastes ok.

Bottle. Pours deep dark red, with a creamy red head. Aroma is tart black currants, musty fruit peel and notes of earth. Medium to full body, with average carbonation. Flavour is tart black currants and berries, as well as a light earthy funkiness. Very berry, but lacking depth.
