hopIQ take
Austral Calafate if you want fruit flavor that feels integrated into the beer,
Lindemans Cassis if you want pure fruit juice experience.
The Calafate hits you with Patagonian calafate berry—it's tart and slightly funky, built into a real beer structure. The Cassis is basically black currant syrup in a glass, deliberately wispy and thin, which is exactly the point of a Lindemans fruit lambic.

Tasting notes
Austral Calafate
The Austral Calafate sneaks up on you. First sip tastes like someone actually fermented berries into beer, not just added syrup—there's a mineral edge under the fruit that keeps it from being dessert. The 5.5% ABV gives it enough body to stand up to the tart calafate flavor without tasting thin. It's crisp but not sharp, and that low 10 IBU means zero hop bitterness gets in the way.
Lindemans Cassis
Lindemans Cassis is disarmingly simple: black currant, light carbonation, almost no alcohol presence at all. It tastes like someone dissolved a premium cassis liqueur into sparkling water, then remembered it needed to be 3.5% ABV to call it beer. The mouthfeel is velvet-soft, and there's no hop bitterness whatsoever—just pure fruit perception. It's delicate in a way that makes you sip slowly.
