Commercial Description:
Lindemans Cassis is a lambic made from local barley, unmalted wheat, and wild yeast. After spontaneous fermentation the lambic is aged in oak. Black currants are added creating a secondary fermentation and yielding an ale of exceptional flavor and complexity.

One of my favorite Lindemans. Great flavor, reminded me of my time in London.

I’m new to rating lambics though I’ve had a fair number while traveling europe. it’s a quickly developing taste for me at this point. 12oz bottle. dark purple-red color with a purple tinted small white head that never really goes away. aroma of berries and sugar. taste is tart black currant. like drinking a sweet-sour grape soda. some kind of sour cream element to it also. I really liked this a lot - though don’t have much of a lambic context.

Frothy head on a maroon red pour good carbonation.Aroma fruity slight wine smell.Flavour a sourness to start then a sweetness,the wheat and yeast plus the currants mixing well to form a smooth Lambic with a fair body.Finish bitter sweet dry.

Looks like beat juice and smells like something intentially scented. Berry like. A very strong taste. Overpowering. Gives that ’shrinking tongue’ feeling. Not bad actually, but I’m not a fan of Fruitbeers or Lambics really. My wife was the one that bought this as she loves the style, I just tried it for a rate.

Poured a blueish purple color with a small off white purple head. Aroma was mainly black currants along with some funky. Flavor was mainly currants and blackberries with some funky and sourness in the finish.

[1340-20080510] 250mL bottle. Mild lambic yeast aroma has fruity tones. Murky, dark purple eggplant body with a medium-lasting bubbly magenta head. Sour blackberry cooler flavour. Medium body. Interesting mild fruitiness and sour but would not seek it again.

Extremely dark red, almost purple in color......opaque. Very fluffy, pinkish head. Strong, tart aroma of berries. Very tart fruit flavor up front, with a few hints of sweetness......crisp mouthfeel. Tart berry flavor slams into the back......finish is more of the same. This is definitely a lambic for the dark berry lover.
