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. ABV 3.5%, not 4% as listed here. Dark read color with a thin pink head. Aroma is blackcurrant with a little yeast. Sweet taste is mostly blackcurrant. Lively carbonation.

Hinez57 (160) - Clinton, Mississippi, USA - FEB 12, 2012
Cherry, pitted fruit, and red wine aromas with just a tinge of sour/funk. Beautiful light ruby red in the glass with thin pink/magenta head with nice lacing. Sweet at first then sours out to a nice dry finish. Lots of fruit, but not cough-syrupy. Overall this is one of the better Lindeman offerings. Very drinkable, enough souring, wonderful finish, works as a main course, appetizer, or desert beer. Good stuff, not great, but good.

S_Side_Smitty (42) - Lakeland, Florida, USA - FEB 9, 2012
Pours a deep burgundy-red with a medium pink head. Aroma is barnyard hay, yeast, and berries. Taste is tart cherry and grape skin. A very flavorful sour lambic. Reminds me of a table wine.

Christian (8045) - Odense, DENMARK - FEB 3, 2012
On tap at Christian Firtal. Ruby red with a lasting pink head. Fruity blackcurrant aroma with a herbal touch. Funky and tart blackcrurrant flavour with a bit of grapefruit. Really enjoyable for a Lindeman

dogbomb (114) - ENGLAND - JAN 22, 2012
Bottle. Pours deep red with a lively pink foam. Sweet sugary nose. First mouthful very sour and packed with black currants, but this calms down and becomes a nice sugary drink. I prefer this to the Kriek. Tart without being too unpleasant. There’s a decent maltiness to this.
