Lindemans are a decent beer in a vacuum, but compared to any other true fruit lambic, they're sweet and without complexity. Boon and Cantillon are the thing. But hey, what happened to Boon--I don't seem to see it anywhere anymore. I’m with Ben.

They're not really lambics in any real sense, right? Compare any one of their fruit versions with their Cuvee Renee (a real lambic). That said, plenty of very nice fruit lambics/geuezes out there (I've enjoyed many a Cantillon Kriek of late).<br /> <br /> I'd also throw a plug for DFH's outstanding Festina Peche; nicely tart but definitely a peach presence.
