Lindmans Kriek Cherry Lambic Beer

I found this little eight-ounce Lindemans Kriek in a mixed four-pack at my local Whole Foods. This beer is a 3.5% Kriek Cherry Lambic that goes through a secondary fermentation process in the bottle. This cheery beer is filtered and pasteurized before being bottled and made from a Lambic base. That is the difference between this beer and Oude Kriek Cuvée René. This beer is a maceration of 25% of fresh sour cherry juice, then it is filtered and pasteurised. This Kriek pours a cherry red with a one-finger thin pink head. The aroma is tart, sweet, and sour, with a hint of cherry. The flavor is tart, light, and sour, with a big cherry flavor and some sweetness. This Kriek has a medium mouthfeel. The finish is tart cherry and light sweetness. The aftertaste lingers with cherry tartness and sweet flavors. This is a delicious beer without an overly high ABV. Ledemins Kriek is an A. But I don’t think you can drink more than a 750ML bottle. The flavor gets too much, but it’s still delicious, and you should be drinking this beer! Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
