How do they compare to the backsweetened Lindemans and Timmermans lambics?

That's my guess because I haven't actually tried them :)

I did try a Floris Chocolate once. That was right before my saliva glands transplant.

I'm aware.  People across the state in St. Louis freaked out that Bud was no longer "American."  Whatever.

I was in the grocery store yesterday and saw that budweiser is now called/labeled as "America". WTF?

How do they compare to the backsweetened Lindemans and Timmermans lambics?
As a cross-post to the "unpopular brewing opinions" post, I think Lindeman's Faro is a really nice beer. It's not necessarily in my top 10 favorite sours, but I can certainly drink more of it in one sitting compared to La Folie, Red Poppy, Gueuze Girardin, etc.

So not all hope is lost after all. If only you would spell "Lindemans" correctly there might even be a very thin line of sunlight at the horizon.
