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.

Bottle. Deep red colour with a nice pink head. Strong blackcurrant aroma. Lots of blackcurrant in the taste also, with some sweetness and sourness. Quite good blackcurrant juice.

12 ounce bottle in large wine glass. Dark purple with pink head. Black currant jam with mild tartness aroma. Mild sweet tart black currant wood bread with slightly lingering black currant sugar sweetness. Not bad, but needs more tartness and a dryer finish.

Pours super dark, dark redness when backlit. Purple head. Well laced. Dusty attic nose, very astringent nose. Typical Lindemans. Tart and sweet flavors on a dark fruity aroma. Less drinkable than other Lindemans’concoctions but still pretty decent.

Very dark purple liquid which gives off the faintest hint of redness when back-lit. HUGE head with great retention and EXCELLENT lacing. Smell is of dusty tart black currants. Maybe some grape skins. Taste is of purple sweet tarts. (This is what black currants remind me of, though.) Sweet flavor enveloping true tartness. Dusty flavor, like the nose had. Slight alcohol warmth. Mouthfeel could be better. Way too thin for my tastes. Almost no feeling of carbonation. I drink this every now and then, but if I want Lindemans, I usually reach for another flavor

From bottle, pinkish red hazy with a complementary pinkish head, aroma of cassis sweet cherries and low lambic qualities, flavorof cassis, lemon and some bitterness in the aftertaste. Medium body. OK

Nice deep red color with plenty of bubbles. Large fruity aroma, clearly lots of currant but also oak. Tingly mouthfeel. It stats out sweet and ends with a sour note.
