Lindemans Cassis Lambic

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Fruit
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Not your usual nasty lambic, and not your usual nasty lambic with fruit thrown incongruously over top of it. INCREDIBLE combination of black currant and lambic flavors. Delectable.

This is my favorite lambic. You’ll get a heaping nosefull of black pepper, corriander, and of course cassis. Flavor is acetic and sweet. This is a tart drink and not what you’d expect. I’d take this over the framboise, kriek, peche, or the apple lamibs from Lindeman’s but they are all very good.

Delicious wild berry aroma and flavors like no other I’ve tasted. Swirling cloudy purplish pour from the gunk on the bottom. Similar to the cherry and raspberry but unique in the flavored beer & lambic arena. Unless you don’t like ’sweet’, there are no negative attitudes about this stuff. Smooth and addicting. Beatiful blend of fruit and tart beer. Lovely, simply lovely. Creamy carbonation like fizzy bubling candy. I thought my favorite beer was framboise but I think I have reason to think of currants. I could drink this cassis all day starting with breakfast and with the listed alky content, it’s possible. Like other lambics, the only thing that keeps me drinking regular cheap beer instead of this is the not-so-cheap cost.

Pours an opaque purpose with moderate but long lasting violet head. Super sweet aroma, very fruity. Nice flavour - bitter and sweet notes mix together well. The sweetness borders on the artificial, but otherwise is a fantastic beer.

Poured a deep Ruby red, with a pink foamy head.A nice black currant tartness that reminds one of the "Old Country"

750ml corked bottle. Purple-black color, with a violet hued head. Sweet and slightly sugary, completely dominated by the natural flavor of black currants. This is pretty much paradise juice. Mild and easy drinking on one level, but completely worth savoring every sip. Excellent.

My favorite of the Lindeman’s lambics. It’s not as fruity (it’s currant, duh!) and has a little bit of a pine aroma and taste (it’s currant, duh!). Funny thing is: I don’t like currants.

Available in the bottle served with the appropriate glassware at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Pittsburgh, PA. Very nice appearance. An interesting musty aroma. Reminds me of the inside smells of the Noah’s Ark in Kennywood Park. Very easy to drink. I would consider this equal in stature to the raspberry. Equal, but different, a very good beer.
