Nov 11, 2009 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

Sep 23, 2009 Appearance of dark grape soda. Aroma is sweet, fruity, currents, and a hint of tartness. Flavor is sweet and smooth, not sour enough for me. Very berry, raspberry and currents.

Sep 5, 2009 12 oz bottle Bier Stein. Poured so dark a red that it was nearly purple with a thin pink head. Aroma is vinous, currants and other fruit. Flavor was currants, grape, other vinous notes and some sweet sugar. Not horrible for a Lindeman’s product, but the small sample I had was more than enough. Too sweet for my palate!
