beerBB (132), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 12, 2007 UPenn tasting again...very dark red - purple. Excellent black berry/currant aroma. Flavor is dominated by black current. Good tartness. seemed a little thin and could use even more base under the fruit. biggcb (440), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 12, 2007 Sample @ UPenn’s Tutored Tasting ’07. Poured a vivid reddish/purple. Aroma was full of blackcurrant - fruity and sweet. The blackcurrant dominates the flavor as well, though not as much as in aroma. A little thin and watery. A decent tartness, but overall, a little unbalanced.
*Says it was done by Iron Hill Wilmington. dberger624 (1029), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 31, 2003 Had this at the Media location. This is my first cassis style beer so I can't compare to any other.Also let me say I'm not a big lamibic fan. But have to give new beers a try at least once. The description says it all. Prince would love the violet color of this beer. This was way, way to sour for me.
