I expected a much higher rating for this beer, but I guess I should have considering wide bias against anything sweet. I didn’t realize the alcohol was quite this low, but I didn’t pick up on it so that makes sense. The comparison to Lindeman’s is obvious, and this is very similar. Sweet apricot. Only a hint of lambic weirdness, but this is an excellent dessert beer.

Pours amber into a shaker. Off-white micro head had good retention. Strawberry lolipop aromas. Crisp and dry with sour strawberry jam from front to back. Strawberry is the only flavor I get.

Biggish head over red body. Strawberry aroma with sharpish metallic beer background. Taste is deep, intense, powerful bubblegum, metallic, natural, bitter strawberries with acidic, aftertaste. Incredibly strong taste; rarely knew anything like it. Really good, and wildly unusual. (0.5l bottle.)

Pours a bright magenta into an English pint. Pink micro head lasts thoughout. Brach’s cherry lolipop notes. Slight fizzy with cherry front-to-back and a slight alcohol finish. A different kind of lambic than I’m used to...more a fruit beer -- but I guess I’m just thinking gueuze.
