£4.50
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.

Lindeman’s Cuvée René is - without a doubt - the queen of gueuzes.
A blend of old and young lambics matures in large oak barrels and then undergoes a secondary fermentation in champagne bottles to achieve a dry finish with an effervescent carbonation.
Aromas and flavours of “dusty barnyard” and “earthy funk” can sound somewhat off-putting, but the notes of sour apple, lemon, and wood in this gueuze complement them nicely. Its lasting sour finish and medium body make this beer more adventurous than one might think.

One of Lindeman’s most famous brews, Faro is a sweet, sharp, woody Gueuze with a wild, musty character that offers mouthwatering back-of-the-tongue refreshment.
Pouring a peachy gold beneath an attractive head, Faro is full of classic wild yeast and woodrot tones and a fruity, oaky tone that lifts the tasting experience to a delicately sweet and sour finish.
