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.

Sweet and artificial flavour. Not at all like a beer, more just a black currant soda, like some others mentioned. Really disappointing.

Cloudy dark red, medium lasting pink head. Aroma of blackcurrant, quite penetrating. Taste is sweet, blackcurrant, carbonating. It just tastes like a cassis soda. Not complex at all.

Aroma of berries, sweet and artificial. Cloudy, dark red coloured with a lasting, medium punk head. Taste is sweet siruppy, fruity (berries) and a slight sour finish. Sticky beer with a more dry finish.

Is it beer, or is it something else?? Well, pink head, and fine clear red colour. Both aroma and flavor is full of black currant. Sort of funny beer.

Labeled at only 3.5% ABV. A red beer with a huge pink head. The aroma is powerfully black currant - and nothing else - just like black currant juice - nice, but not really what I want in my beer. The flavor is very sweet with a good acidity and lots of black currant, leading to a dry woody note. I like the combination of the sweet black currant juice and the acidity.

The aroma is of strong currant. Cassis pours a deep purple with a light violet head and lots of lacing. There is a sweetness to the palate with a strong taste of currant. The finish is sour and pleasent.

The aroma is sweet with a lot of berries and a little wheat. The appearance is purple-red and hazy and the head leaves lots of lace. The flavor is very vinous and exhibits plenty of sweet fruity black current taste without too much bitterness. Aftertaste is tart, sweet, and slightly sour. Totally likable.

Bottled. Sampled at Delirium Café, Göteborg. Cherry red, light pink head. Pure juicy black currant nose with an actual malty feel to it, though only 3,5. Black currant juice in flavour with a sour-sweetish(there is an addition of 25% fructose) tone.
