Jan 13, 2009 Updated: Jan 18, 200935.5 cl bottle. Mmmm, currants! A fruit little used here in the States. I rather like this one. Opens with a nice, lightly sweet currant smell. Pours dark brownish red, with a thin, slightly clotty pinkish foam. Nice taste of currant jelly, followed by those notes of oak or cork, a growing sense of tartness. Also catch some barnyard funk. This one is not too complex, but there is a fine balance. I’m really getting to like this style, and the Lindemans brews have been a nice gateway for me.

Jan 9, 2009 Bottle courtesy of a sibling for Christmas. Aroma of yeast, black currents and a hint of lemon. Flavor was a bit sweet with a slight hint of sour. Dark currant, generic berry and some sugariness.

Jan 5, 2009 Plum colored, frothy pink head. Raspberry blueberry aroma, some lemon juice tartness. Syrup forward, takes away from any deep character. Not my thing, though I’m sure many people are introduced into eclectic beer from this approachable interpretation of the style.

Dec 31, 2008 50cl bottle from Fresh Market (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark red violet color with a one finger frothy pinkish-purple head that settles slowly and heavily laces the glass. Aroma is black raspberry, pepper, assorted ripe wild berries, and hints of malty sweetness. Flavor is much the same of the nose--ripe berry fruit flavors with some peppery malt notes and hints of honey and sugar. A medium body tart lambic with a sweet berry finish.

Dec 20, 2008 Pours a lovely pinkish-purple with a small but lasting head and nice lacing. Aroma is musty, sweet and sour with just a touch of astringent blueberry skin. Tastes very sweet, purple concord grapes and a lingering cassis finish. Good carbonation and a somewhat creamy body. A fun, easy-drinking lambic.

Dec 15, 2008 Updated: Dec 16, 2008Bottle from Gamel strands Ol o Vinlager.
Considerd a 4 for apperence couse its nice to look at and looks different, but the content of 25percent cassis juice makes the apperence quite obvious.
Lots of berries in aroma, apperence and flavour. Thirst quenching.
