Belgian Fruit Lambic

Brewed by: Lindemans Brewery
Country: Belgium
Style: Fruit Lambic
Color: Rose Red

ABV: 4.0%
Ratebeer.com rating: 76
BeerAdvocate.com rating: 87

Lindemans Kriek Lambic is a Fruit Lambic that pours rose red with a light frothy pink head.

Top fermentation with the wild airborne yeasts specific to Belgium's Senne region, and the addition of cherries and/or cherry juice to the brew maturation process results in a tangy, softly carbonated ale with an ABV of 4.0%.

The aroma and flavor of sweet cherries dominate; the fruity esters, however, never overly sweet or cloying, are perfectly balanced by a soft and sour acidity.

The finish is delicately tart and crisp.

Food Pairings

As an aperitif in place of dry sherry, with carbonnade a la beouf, mussels in white wine or Gueuze, flavorful cheeses. Serve cold at 2-3 degrees C in flute-shaped Lambic glass.

Brewery Information:


Lindemans Brewery
, initially a family farm in southwest Brussels, began commercial brewing operations in 1822. They specialized in Lambics – a unique style of wheat beer wholly dependent on wild airborne yeasts for fermentation as well as on an exceptionally long period of maturation up to 3 years.

Over time, brewery revenue gradually outpaced farming revenue and by 1930, the Lindemans family was able to cease farming operations altogether to concentrate fully on the brew business.

Today the brewery, still family owned, exports its award winning ales to a dozen countries including the US, where their ales outsell all other Lambics.

Great wine that is not readily available in your local wine shop.

Lindeman's lambics -- I prefer the raspberry and cherry -- is, perhaps, an acquired taste, but once has acquired it, one wants to have it more often!

Kudos for Belgian Style Ales for carrying it -- and so many other impossible to find brands!
