Lindemans Cassis Lambic

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Fruit
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Pours a fizzy indigo head which is quite tall and very slow to diminish. The body has lively bubbles within and is blue nearing purple in colour. The nose is one dimensional, but wonderfuly fruity, honing in on cassis and wild berries. The taste begins sweet, then turns a touch sour with cassis and a hint of lemon. Very nice! The palate is lively and slow to finish. A bit syrupy at times, but a delicious beer all round.

750mL bottle. Pours a bold, hazy ruby color; significant pink head with great retention and textured, mixed-bubbled lacing; great pour. Solid amounts of funk and dark fruits in the aroma; nicely, lightly tart and much more solid fun than other Lindemans. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: dark fruitiness, tart citrus (lightly tart, but definitely present), and plenty of solid funk upfront; not genuine lambic, and closer than any of the other Lindemans so far; a good guilty pleasure. Medium finish: tart citrus, lingering funk and plenty of dark fruits; a touch sweet on the end.

Bottle from Total Wine. First time rating this, but not the first purchase and consumption. Pours a dark purple color with half a fingernail of lavender head. Nose is grape and other dark fruits. Loads of berry, twigs, and vinous fruits in the flavor. Bursts with tartness. High carbonation and light/medium body. Refreshing and tasty. After tasting this I broke my girlfriend’s only flute and paid for it with shards of glass in my bare foot. Serves me right, eh?

Bottle from Dranken Geers. ABV 3.5% Deep purple colour. Deep pink thin head. Aroma of Ribena. Yep, it’s like me mam’s blackcurrant homemade jam. Not disgusting, in fact, quite drinkable. A very fruity beer. Bit over sweet, but it’s perfectly drinkable. Some fruit sour sting on finish.

This Lambic I like, it takes like a fruit refresher after hot day. slightly tangy but not sour, and the right amount of fruity sweetness

One of my favorite Lindemans. Great flavor, reminded me of my time in London.

I’m new to rating lambics though I’ve had a fair number while traveling europe. it’s a quickly developing taste for me at this point. 12oz bottle. dark purple-red color with a purple tinted small white head that never really goes away. aroma of berries and sugar. taste is tart black currant. like drinking a sweet-sour grape soda. some kind of sour cream element to it also. I really liked this a lot - though don’t have much of a lambic context.

viola buona schiuma persistente aroma netto di cassis in bocca cassis piuttosto dolce il finale è leggermente acidulo ma di lambic ricorda molto poco
