Lindemans Cassis Lambic

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

The bottle said 3.5 rather than 4 per cent. Poured with a massive head that took up three quarters of the glass. Dark purple and a lot different from my usual beer. A bit like Ribena with alcohol. Different and refreshing.

25cl bottle, 3.5%, bought in Belgium. A nasty pink-purple head and a dark, red beer; almost purple. The aroma combines fresh fruitiness with the typical blueberry heaviness - I’ve had blueberry pancakes 2 in my life and I got the memory back just from the smell! Scary sweetness held as a promise.... and indeed, the flavour is very sweet, but it dies away into the bitterness rather nicely, leaving a dry fresh taste of blueberry’s which fades into lemon acidity. Actually a nice, interesting beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a very dark red color with a huge raspberry sherbet colored head. The aroma was sour, funky barnyard with a lightly tart and fruity undertone. The flavor is tart, tangy and sour with a moderate grapey undertone a very sugary middle and a very long and very tart finish.

Bottle purchased at Beverages for less in Santee. Very nice sweet fruity flavor. Thick, but drinkable.

Very thick beer with little to no head. Tastes of strong fruit and light alcohol. Basic generic rating (insert fruit flavor here). *I like the currant the best.

Bottle. Pours grape ruby, thin lavender Aroma is mint and currant. Flavor is currant, wheat, some mint earthiness.

Pours deep purple with medium purple head. Nose is grape must, horseblanket, cream. Flavor is initial intense sourness, currant, and creamy malt. There is a powerful base of earthy, woody lambic flavor. Creamy mouthfeel. Lingering sour finish... makes my mouth water. Good.

375ml bottle poured a grape purple with a small head. Aroma of berries, grapes, and fermenting yeast. The flavor surprised me a bit cause it wasn’t all fruit like the other Lindemans I’ve sampled. Besides the sweet currants their is a back line of acidity, woodiness, and lambic yeast character.
