Lindemans Cassis Lambic

355ml corked & capped bottle. Dark reddish purple pour with a pinkish purple head. Big currant nose, some mild sourness is noted, kinda wheaty. big, sweet currant flavor, juicy with a mild sourness late - kinda like red grape juice. A touch of wood in there somewhere. Excellent lace and head retention. Decent carbonation keeps this from coming off sticky. I dug this a lot, but then I really like currants....

Pours a dark pink with a bright electric pink head. Retention and lacing is good. Cassis aroma comes right out of the bottle. Deeper in the snifter it is mushroomy and musty with some sweetness showing through. Tastes like sour apples, cassis and cherries. Palate is soft. This beer is sour enough to keep it interesting, but is too sweet and lacks complexity to be great.

Good pour! Dark pink / purple head with lots of messy lacing sitting on top of a thick looking purply brew. The aroma is ok but the currant is quite mild and I wish there was a bit more to give this beer a larger presence. What fruit that is found is very good but it is just way too mild. Taste is a let down. I like the currant flavour and the tartness. Fairly one dimensional. What annoys me is that on some sips I get the strong flavour of something that is resembling the taste of blood a bit too closely. It comes and goes. When it is not there this is a very enjoyable brew although pretty plain. Soft carbonation, wonderful feeling swish - actually, I’ve figured it out - excessive swishing brings on the blood taste. I know someone is reading this and seeing the word blood - listen up, it’s the only thing I can think of to describe that distinct flavour so tough tits for you. i enjoyed this beer as all the Lindemans are good drinking beers but this one is the weakest I’ve had so far.

Bottle. Pours raspberry pink, blood-pink if such a color exists, with an electric pink head with fantastical lacing. Nose jumps out of the glass, you could smell this from 2 feet away. Nose is cassis, strawberry, with earth and mushrooms. Quite vinous in its aroma, the nose reminds me of Spanish Garnacha. Palate is quite sweet, with just enough sourness to keep it balanced and pleasant. Some nice tartness and tannins, very fun, not terribly complex, tasty without being serious.

Unclear deep purplish red, medium pink head. Quite strong aroma and flavor of blackcurrants. Medium tartness, quite tasty and drinkable. Very accessible and uncomplicated. Velvety texture that I find in some other berry drinks also.

Not a big fan of Lambics but thought I’d try this one. Nice color of purple. Kind of like looking through a purple marble. Of course had the fruity aroma which was expected. Was crisp and sour. Not too bad and you can easily drink a bottle. Still prefer the malty trappist quads and Belgiun ales over this style.

"Cork made a loud popping sound when it was removed startling me a little (ok I might have screamed like the time beercronic saw the rat in the cave). Body of the beer is deep purple and a girlish pink cap sits on top. Aroma is fruity and soapy with elements of black currant jam. Flavor is mostly consisting of black currant and has a good balance of sweet and sour. Flavor reminds me of something from my child hood but can’t put my finger on what. Flavor is much simpler than the other Lindeman’s I’ve sampled and not as powerful of a flavor but its still high quality. "

This pinkish purple lambic poured into a Boon flute with a decent light purple head and a fruit and oak aroma. There is a very pleasant taste of currants with a sour finish. If you yearn for a fruit drink this is a good one, but it is not beer-like nor is it a traditional lambic.
