Bottle. Purple colour with a huge off white head. Powerful sweet cassis aroma and taste. Sweet, but good.

I tried this on May 20, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This poured a purplish-black with a whitish head, which quickly faded. The aroma was primarily black currant with sour blueberries and grapes in the mix. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour was a mix of sour grapes, black currants, and finished off with some hoppy bitterness.

While this is classified as a beer, it was more of a low-alcohol wine experience......but a great experience.

2008-05-10. Dark purple body looks almost black depending on the light, big foamy pink-purple head leaves some lace. (3+) Very fruity aroma, tart cassis. Flavour has more tart fruit than expected but alternates with a sweetness that is sort of sugary. Reminds of of Welches grape juice and certain fruit wines at the same time. (6+) Average palate. Very fruity overall, not terrible but not at all beer-like. Bottle at Volo

12oz bottle. Pours a clear purple with a rocky light purple/pink head. Nose is fresh sweet black currants with a vinegar sour background. Palate is Welch’s grape juice and blackberries with a slight tart vinegar, aspirin finish. Medium mouth feel with nice lacing. Good stuff.

This is my favorite lambic. You’ll get a heaping nosefull of black pepper, corriander, and of course cassis. Flavor is acetic and sweet. This is a tart drink and not what you’d expect. I’d take this over the framboise, kriek, peche, or the apple lamibs from Lindeman’s but they are all very good.

purple pour with a big reddish purple head. Strong berry aroma. Flavor was more acidic and funky than expected with some sweet fruit dominating the finish. This one could be good, just needs a touch more acidity and funk...

Looks like cranberry juice with a large pink head and good lacing. Smells clean like clean water, and currants. Tastes like currant and mineral and a little wheat malt. slightly carbonated. A little burn. Pretty good beer/wine cross taste.

Bottle, foiled, capped and corked. Pours opaque purplish red with a thick and lacy dark pink head. Aroma of vinegar, berries and oak with a little hint of funk. Medium-light body and tingly carbonation. Sweet taste of berries, lemons and earth with a tart and lightly oaked finish. Maybe they could back off a little bit on the sweetness, and Lindemans gets slagged regularly for not making a ’real’ lambic; but this is still a refreshing and pretty well balanced beer. No complaints here.
