Lindemans Kriek is an easy drinking and intense, tart, cherry-sweet cherry lambic fruit beer. Best served in a branded straight glass. Good with venison and meat balls.
A slightly sweet cherry lambic beer made in the traditional Belgian style by the Lindemans family. Lambic beers are fermented using wild yeasts in the air and aged in oak barrels for years to give a sour tart flavour. For this beer, cherries are then added to give the beer a pleasant and full fruity sweetness that offsets the sour base before a pleasing and refreshing tart finish.
Meet the cherry lambic beer that started it all! In 1979, Lindemans Brewery became the first to revolutionise fruit beer by creating our Lindemans Kriek through a bold innovation: blending lambic with pure cherries and gently pasteurising it. This pioneering approach didn’t just solve a challenge—it set a new standard and sparked a worldwide love for cherry lambic. Today, Lindemans Kriek remains the global benchmark for Kriek beers: brilliant red, sparkling, and perfectly balanced between sweet and sour. It is the #1 best-selling Lindemans lambic beer worldwide.
