One of two new fruit beers by Lindemans, this one with exotic fruit; both come with a completely irrelevant story about a fortune teller and tarot cards and both apparently consist of a blend of top-fermented beer and lambic, sugared and flavoured with fruit concentrate. It remains undisclosed where the top-fermented beer is physically made and it does not seem to exist on its own; the fruit concentrate in this "Tarot d'Or" version is apparently a mixture of honeydew, mango and lime, in descending order of prevalence. Snow white, medium thick, creamy and tiny-bubbled but opening head, leaving a densely creamy ring around the edge and a white veil in the midle; misty yellow-golden robe with vaguely greenish tinge and lots of minute but omnipresent visible sparkling. Strong soda pop-like aroma of more mango than honeydew even if both are recognisable, lime hardly noticeable, fruit cake, mango-based soft drink, cheese rind, vague 'putteke', overripe yellow plum, white granulated sugar, candied lemon peel, sweet white wine, bread pulp. Sweet onset, juicy in an indeed fruit concentrate-like way with very obvious mango and honeydew while again the lime remains very much in the background; guava and ripe pineapple notes as well. The sweetness is as strong as in any of those mass-marketed Lindemans fruit beers, and even if a slight underlying sourness is there, it certainly does not shout 'lambic'; softish carbonation (very fine-bubbled), smooth and fluffy mouthfeel, rounded. The mango and honeydew purée sweetness dominates from onset to finish, through a lightly white-bready malt core; lime comes up a bit more strongly in the end and is probably responsable for more of that underlying sourness than lambic. Still, I do manage to find some vague echoes of lambic in the finish, very basic and 'distorted' by the sweetness and added fruitiness, but with certain vinous and bitterish notes one can associate with it - albeit very, very distantly. Sugary sweetness remains, along with those exotic fruit flavours and a warming, white wine-like alcohol glow; something cheesy and earthy lurks in the background as well, possibly also related to the lambic. As you may have noticed from this review, I did what I could to find traces of lambic in this new sugary concoction - and they are there, but it will take you a lot of lambic experience and a good microscope to find them. Apart from the top-fermented part, which is probably only applied here for economic reasons, this is just another mega-sweet, mass-marketed, old-fashioned 'fake' Lindemans fruit lambic, in the same tradition they have been following for half a century - and though I can understand the commercial benefits of producing these immaturely sweet lemonade beers, it is a huge shame on this brewery that they do not use their elegant and refined lambic in a more puristic and genuine way. They do not seem to feel pity for their own lambic in abusing it like this - strange.
