Beer of the Week: Lindeman's Kriek Lambic

Beer score: 9.8

Company: Lindemans
ABV: 3.5
IBU: 18

I decided to start the new year off with a great beer, and this old favorite was a solid choice.

Made with fresh cherry juice, this Belgian brew tastes more like a fine fruity seltzer than it does a beer.

It pours a smooth ruby color, and you can definitely smell and taste the cherry here. Most of the cherry flavoring here is sweet, but there is also a little tartness, perhaps even hints of sourness.

Usually quite pricey, but worth the cost for special occasions and for when you want something truly different. One of the more unique beers, you haven't lived until you've at least tried this stuff.

It is kind of odd, though, that one of the best of beers doesn't really taste like a beer, and I'm not someone who usually enjoys fruity drinks.
