COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lindemans Cassis is a lambic made from local barley, unmalted wheat, and wild yeast. After spontaneous fermentation the lambic is aged in oak. Black currants are added creating a secondary fermentation and yielding an ale of exceptional flavor and complexity.

Bottle. Pours deep red with a lively pink foam. Sweet sugary nose. First mouthful very sour and packed with black currants, but this calms down and becomes a nice sugary drink. I prefer this to the Kriek. Tart without being too unpleasant. There’s a decent maltiness to this.

TaxiDriver (1372) - Stadland, GERMANY - JAN 21, 2012
Bottle. A very fruity smell with cherries and raspberries. The head is large, creamy and pale pink with a long duration. The body is dark red. The taste is very fruity and sweet. The body is rather light, dry and a little bit creamy with a lively carbonation.

BrewBoxer (889) - New York, New York, USA - JAN 11, 2012
Bottle. Thought it would be much better then it was. Great appearance and smell. Ruby dark red with pink foam, sourish acidic smell, but taste was very sweet, nbot as bad as the frambois...some touches or sour from blue and black berries but ok

xs2500 (175) - Mississippi, USA - JAN 1, 2012
Poured a velvety raspberry color with a thin pinkish head. Armoma is deep and intence, very wine like. Aroma really influences the flavor. Fruity & sweet, yet so much more. This brew really shows the wine like qualities of lambics.

poisoneddwarf (982) - Rathdrum, Idaho, USA - DEC 31, 2011
750 ml bottle. Pours dark reddish purple with a large purple head with great retention. Aroma is fruity, doughy. Taste starts out sweet for a quick second then quickly turns tart and a little meaty. Carbonation is medium-high, body is full. I like this one. Nice and tart.

Aroma of blackberries, light mustiness and some sugar. Appearance is ruby red with light pink head. Flavor matches the nose with a lingering, lightly tart finish. Palate is bubbly and light. Nothing too extraordinary here, but very drinkable and pleasant; a nice introductory level Lambic with enough character to cause some interest in the more premium brands.
