Orange brown color. Slightly herbal plum aroma. Sweet and sour flavor. Grenadine, just a hint of herbs. Loads of rather atificial reine claude and some cherry fruit. Sweet but likeable beer. I really can't taste the tea, except for a hiden herbalness. It's artificial, but not without some quality.

24/I/15 - 25cl bottle from De Zytholoog/Bierloods (Adegem) @ home - BB: 1/VIII/10 (2015-104)
Clear amber beer, small to no head, the few bubbles dissipating immediately. Aroma: very oxidized, bit metallic, cardboard, caramel, sugary. MF: no carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit sourish, sugary, caramel, spicy, cardboard, metallic. Aftertaste: sweet, sourish, caramel, sugary, oxidized, some marzipan.
One of the weirdest concoctions in the world of ’compromized’ lambic derivatives which Lindemans all but created. This is made with tea leaves and lemon juice as well as artificial sweetener; the sweet sourish result is not far away from iced tea. Original, but clearly not for me.
Bottle. Pours brownish amber. White head. Little brown floaters. Nose of old tea, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pleasant. Taste is a bit abrasive with tons of artificial sugar, tea, cinnamon and nutmeg. Short almost nonexistent finish. Lightish body.
Süßlich-fruchtiger Geruch, der von einer minimal minzigen Note unterbrochen wird. Extrem süßer Antrunk, der sich erst einmal steigert. Man merkt, dass hier mal eine gewisse Säuerlichkeit vorhanden war, die ich mir zurückwünsche. Verhalten fruchtig, etwas künstlich. Anschließend limonenartig, das Bier wird bis in den Nachgeschmack immer süßer, was zu diesem Moment bereits unangenehm ist. Beitönig ist immer wieder ein Aroma zu erkennen, dass ich der Behandlung mit den Tee-Blättern zuordne, ausnahmsweise mal schlecht, dass ich nie Tee trinke, sonst hätte ich einen Vergleich. Dieser Ton ist interessant, gerät aber durch die extreme Süße in den Hintergrund. Deutlich zu süß! Test vom 3.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,8,5,8,8 - 7,80
Bottle at Haket, 2010-05-28, Göteborg AR: Geuze - even more sour after poring (odd?) + raspberries? AP: sandy yellow, wee dimingsing white head F: Geuze + lime - sweet and sour. What kind of tea flavour have the add? Geuze tea?
25 cl bottle. Medium copper color with almost no head. Sweet, fruity aroma with sweetened lemon ice tea. A bit of your usual lambic funk, but just a bit. Cherries and peaches and milk as well. Sweet tea flavor with lots of lemon and lactic acid as well. Too sweet and cloying, but not altogether gross. There is just enough lambic sour to make it drinkable. Wouldn’t call it good, though. Way too sweet, but fun.

Bottle at home and a pleasant suprise. First off it doesnt drink like a beer, no real hop or malt character. but it is quite pleasent to drink, and as such i have scored it... Nice amber colour ... slightly sour and lemon tart nose ... definitly some tea in the base but mostly lemon and lemon peel.
