Lindemans Cassis

◎ Appearance

Deep purple-garnet hue with a translucent body, revealing the intensity of the blackcurrant fruit without cloudiness. A modest off-white head forms and recedes quickly, leaving fine lacing that clings intermittently to the glass. The carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a soft mousse rather than aggressive bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Ripe blackcurrant dominates the nose with a candied sweetness that sits above a subtle funky undertone characteristic of aged lambic. Floral notes—rose petals and dried lavender—emerge on closer inspection, interwoven with a light farmhouse mustiness. The fruit is inviting and direct, without aggressive vinous harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens bright and tart, with blackcurrant juice's natural acidity cutting cleanly across the mid-palate. Moderate residual sweetness arrives in support, creating a sour-sweet interplay that prevents cloying. A whisper of wild yeast and subtle oak tannins surfaces beneath the fruit, grounding the beer in its lambic heritage without overpowering the primary flavor.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and remarkably refreshing, with tartness extending into a lingering dry aftertaste. The berry-forward character persists without bitterness, inviting another sip with its elegant restraint.

Serve at 6–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
