Fruit Lambic 3.5 º 12 IBU

Lindemans

Lindemans Apple is a vibrant expression of a Fruit Lambic, artfully blending the rustic complexity of spontaneous fermentation with the bright, crisp essence of fresh green apples. The sensory experience begins with a lively effervescence that releases a dominant bouquet of orchard fruit, reminiscent of a high-quality cider. On the palate, a clean, refreshing sweetness from several apple varieties provides an immediate counterpoint to the characteristic lactic sourness of the lambic base. Subtle funk and earthy undertones linger in the background, while the low alcohol content ensures a light, accessible finish that perfectly balances sugary orchard fruit with a sharp, puckering tang.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM); brilliant clarity with a thick, rocky white head that displays moderate to high retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, skin-on green apples; secondary notes of cider-like sweetness, faint earthy funk, and a clean lactic tartness; no hop aroma or malt-derived aromatics are present.

Taste. Initial impression is of sweet apple juice and tart Granny Smith apples; the flavor profile is dominated by the fruit, supported by a moderate lactic acidity. The balance is noticeably sweet—consistent with modern fruit lambics—though the acidity provides a refreshing, clean finish. Low bitterness and no hop flavor; the complex, funky character of the lambic base is subtle but present in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a prickly, high carbonation that creates a sparkling sensation on the tongue; no alcohol warmth is perceived; very low astringency with a crisp, slightly syrupy texture that cleans up via acidity.
