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.

Reddish colour with a small pink head. Fruity sweet aroma with a light sour touch. Artificial winegum fruity sweetness.

Pours like a carbonated red wine. Sharp and funky aroma reminiscent of moldy rotting fruit. Whoa, the black current flavor is almost red meat like. Not immediatly pleasing. Nice juicy and organic mouth feel though.

Bottled at DBF 2005. Deep redddish colour with a red head. Aroma is totally dominated by black currants. Acidic flavour of black currants (in Denmark we would say that it tastes like Ribena Solbær). Not bad, but I must admit, that I’m not very fond of black currants.

Bottle. A very nice sweet black currant aroma up front - hints of yeast. A dark violet color with small pink head. Very pleasant sweet-tart black currant flavor - hints of the lambic mustiness. Moderate carbonation. A very good fruit lambic - quite unique. A great currant flavor.

750 ml bottle. Cork came out with a great pop. Dark purple color with a lighter purple, fizzy head. Aromas of sour grapes and cherries. Tart flavors of grape as well. The finish was sweet, but with a cranberry type drying in the mouth. Left the lips sticky. Very sweet, and not my everyday beer, but very good when sweet is what you want.

Bottle - corked and capped. Pours a purpleish ruby with a small foamy purple head. Nose is laden with black currants, I suppose but also has some minty notes to it. Very odd and sort of artificial smelling. Taste is redeeming, though. It’s sweet and sugary and has more black currant but is surprisingly decent. Body is a bit sticky and has moderate carbonation. Finishes with more black currants, light mint, and sugary notes. Granted I like this least of the Lindemans line (of those I have had), but it’s not horrible.

Purchased for my wife, and she seemed to enjoy it. Purple with a little fizzy head. Musty, sour, berry aroma. Sour, black currant fruit flavor. It seems to be of adequate quality for a lambic. These lambics just dont hold any attraction for me. I wouldnt even call them a beer. Overpriced, and a waste of money.
