Lindemans Cassis Lambic

Earthy, zesty aroma, I assume the berry is curant - very nice. Wine like appearance - ruby red with a matching head. Sweet and sour flavor with the curant playing a prominent role. Mouthfeel is a bit too sticky - kind of coats your tongue like toothpaste - my only complaint - otherwise a very good lambic.

Bottle. Capped & corked. Poured a small sized tan head that was smooth with fine-medium sized bubbles that completely dissipated. Carbonated, transparent and a red hue. Tart and blackberry aroma. Acidic, sour, tart and tangy flavor from start to finish. Very tingly, tart and sour palate. Light-medium bodied with no lacing.

Dark Grape Juice Coloring. Black Currant Aroma... Sweet... Slightly Dry Ending. I prefer the Kriek or the Framboise for Flavor....but This One is Balanced..Smooth...Simple in Flavor. Not a Bad Offering.

Poured a light orangish-purple color with a large off white head. Sweet tart tasting with a puckering aftertaste. I’m not too big of a Lambic fan but this is one of the better one’s I can remember tasting.

Black currant cough drop aroma that I found appealing. Dark red-purple. Delicious fruit flavour, hard to believe this is a beer. Sweet and sour. Makes me anxious to rate some of the higher rated versions of the style.

Bottle into flute, Hopleaf (Chicago) 7/2/04. Pretty standard: tasted like currants. Looked like a fruit beer. Mauve in the glass, pinkish bubbly/foamy head that rocketed upward at first and then mostly diminished. Sweet, but not too sweet, the flavor was a nice intensity, but not complex. Tart, good acidity, good soft carbonation. This was well-balanced and smooth.

Deep cranberry color wiht a creamy pink head. Tarty aroma...blackberries in the aroma as well. Very nice. Smooth crisp taste. Kind of like berry punch. Tarty, berry like. I’m a huge fan of Lambic’s and I really have an appreciation for what Lindemans does. Very good.

Pours deep cranberry color with lasting pink head. Aroma of tart blackberry. Flavor is black currants, dark fruit and tartness. Very dry and fizzy. I don’t think this is my cup of tea. Perhaps I will try some of their other lambics.
