Lindemans Double Kriek 7%

Tap to rate

A bolder take on the 3.5 % Kriek, new in 2026: lambic, top-fermented beer and sour cherries come together in a mixed-fermentation beer of 7 % ABV that is sold only on draught, in 20-litre kegs. Fresh, intensely fruity sour cherries lead the aroma with a subtle note of freshness and complexity; the palate is full-bodied and rich in cherry, lifted by lambic acidity, less sweet than the original, with a smooth, pleasantly dry finish. Dark red under a pink head.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with intense fresh sour cherry, immediately dominant and primary. Behind the fruit sits a subtle herbaceous note and underlying complexity from the mixed fermentation—lambic character emerges as the glass warms, adding depth to the pronounced cherry character.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry rich in cherry character, lifted throughout by the acidity from the lambic fermentation. The midpalate is tart and fruity without excess sweetness, the cherry presence sustained but balanced by an underlying dryness that prevents cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish arrives clean and pleasantly dry, with a lingering cherry tartness that fades smoothly. Refreshing and balanced, without harsh bitterness or lingering sweetness.
