Lindemans Cassis if you want delicate, sessionable fruit elegance,
Strawberry Sundae if you want bold tartness and complexity.
The Cassis is a traditional Belgian lambic—soft, almost tea-like, designed to drink three of them without thinking. The Strawberry Sundae is a modern wild ale that demands attention; it's got fermentation funk underneath the fruit that evolves as it warms. Both are fruit beers, but they're operating in completely different registers.

Tasting notes
Lindemans Cassis
Lindemans Cassis hits you with immediate blackcurrant candy sweetness, but it's not cloying—there's a dry, almost mineral finish that prevents it from becoming dessert. The carbonation is gentle, almost champagne-like, which lets the subtle oak and subtle sourness peek through without announcing themselves. It's the kind of beer that disappears in your mouth; you'll look down and wonder where your glass went. At 3.5% ABV, it's deceptively easy drinking, which is precisely the point.
Strawberry Sundae
Strawberry Sundae leads with bright strawberry jam character, but there's a sharp, funky undertone—wild yeast fermentation—that keeps it from being a fruit soda. The tartness builds gradually and sits at the back of your palate; it's not pucker-inducing, but it's definitely present and intentional. There's a slight creamy texture that plays against the acidity, which is where the 'sundae' part clicks. It's a beer that changes personality between sip one and sip five.
