Lindemans Cassis Lambic

Bottled. Dark read with a rich white head. The aroma consists of blackcurrant and is sweet. The flavour has a sweet taste of blackcurrant and has an aftertaste with a "sting".

A Mes rate: 37.5cl bottle from somewhere in Bruges. Smells good, tastes ok, looks awesome. It’s just too sweet really. All blackcurrant syrup. Like Ribena beer.

Reddish purple, with a pinkish lavender head that lingers. Aroma is tart and very fruity. The taste is exactly the same. Very crisp and feels fresh. I really like lambics like this. It just sits right in my mouth and my tummy. This is probably my favorite from Lindemans.

Not a complex aroma. Mainly just the aroma of what I assume to be currant...I’ve never smelled them before. I must say that I would imagine the actual fruit to smell better as this has a somewhat rotten(?) unpleasantness to it. The flavor mirrors the aroma except that it is more tolerable. Still not good, though. I get a sense of earthiness/woodsiness in there toward the end. Extremely sweet.

This is cold, i freezered it for 45 mins and its probably just about right going by what the kriek was hot, which makes me think the lreik needs re-rating. Aroma is nutty, blackcurrent, a bit raw and not much character. Taste is alot different, sourness blends with the current sweetness, to make a very easy and very flavoursome mix of fruit lambic goodness. This is my first blackcurrent lambic and i wonder why theres not more?

Pours a hazed, melony-purple with a quick, orchid head that fades fast to halo. Currant dominates aroma within a rather cough-syrupy persona. A sourness strikes me simply, like lemons. Upon tasting, my wife made a humorous yet accurate observation: "It’s so sweet that it’s sour." That’s exactly the impression it conjures... starting with a syrupy, fruity sweetness but moving instantly to a puckery-astringent, fruity tartness. It’s a giddy flavor assault on your tastebuds, like being tickled to the point of pain by a maniacal clown.

Bottle. Nice pink head. Suprisingly dark red body. Strong black curant aroma. Well balanced bittersweet flavor.

Very fruity aroma....If I hadn’t read that it was currants, I wouldn’t be able to place it :) Dark purple hint to the brown body, with a light pink foamy head. The taste is very very bitter, bordering on sour. There is little to no hoppy flavo, the fruity taset starts as the finish starts. Pretty good.
