Lindemans Cassis Lambic

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

While this is easily the tartest of the Lindeman’s lambics, it’s still fairly sweet. It’s what makes it one of my personal favourites. And the nearly- purple red colour is always good for making people what you’re drinking, exactly.

Creamy pink head with a reddish body. Really odd aroma, fruity with some oak and anise, really not that good in my opinion. Nice taste however, heavy currants dominate, with some light grassy hops to compliment it. Tart ending.

Clear dark ruby color with a medium creamy pink head. Aroma of black currant, with some sour kick and a little funk. Sweet black currant with light sour in the end.

(05.20.06) 12 oz green bottle from Liquorama???? Poured clear purple with small pink head. Some particulates. Soft carbonation. Sour black currant with some catty aroma. Light-to-medium bodied lambic that starts with light malt sweetness and tart black currant. Finished dry with lingering tart fruit flavor. Surprising good sour lambic, not like the overly sweet Lindemans Framboise and Kriek lambics.

Bottle. Nice big pink head with good duration. Color is dark ruby. Fresh strong aroma of blackcurrant. Taste is blackcurrant and sour like it should be. Another hit from Lindeman

Pours a surprisingly dark shade of purple w/ a big head of creamy bubbles. I really liked the nose on this--crisp, fruity and w/ a delicate edge of mint that adds a nice accent to the rest of it. Flavor is tart but w/ some sweetness, the mint accent comes across as rather strange and chaulky at this point but is not entirely unpleasant. Body is slightly heavy for a lambic w/ less carbonation than expected but it worked w/ the sweet/tart dichotomy of the beer reasonably well. Overall, I was surprised by how good this was. It’s actually a rather unusual and entertaining beer.

This lambic was ok.. probably better than Lindemans peach but not as good as their cherry or raspberry offerings. Not as fruity as the others... this one actually tasted somewhat like beer. Not bad at all but when I am in the mood for lambic, i will stick to the cherry and the raspberry.

12 oz bottle: Pours a deep ruby to fire engine red color with no carbonation/lacing rising to the top, but a thick fluffy and stiff purplish head that folds down into layers as opposed to popping. Aroma is quite nice, just a little one sided, all berries all the time. A little in the way of flowers and not much else. The flavor is nice, a little acidic and bitter. The tastes are of berries. There is a little bit of a carbonated feel to it and a tangy aftertaste.
