Lindemans Cassis if you want delicate, wine-like elegance;
Strawberry Sundae if you want bold fruit punch intensity.
The Cassis is a traditional Belgian lambic—funky and refined—while the Strawberry Sundae leans American wild ale: sweeter, fruitier, more dessert-forward. Both are fruit beers, but they're playing entirely different games. Pick based on whether you're craving subtlety or indulgence.

Tasting notes
Lindemans Cassis
Cassis hits you with that unmistakable black currant tartness—bright, almost wine-like, with a dry finish that keeps you honest. There's a subtle funkiness underneath (classic lambic thing) that prevents it from being one-dimensional. At 3.5% ABV, it feels like a sophisticated aperitif, not a dessert. The 12 IBU barely registers; this is about balance and restraint.
Strawberry Sundae
Strawberry Sundae tastes like someone liquified a strawberry cheesecake and somehow made it work. It's sweeter, creamier, and unapologetically indulgent—the kind of beer you drink slowly because it's almost too much. The wild ale character adds a subtle tanginess underneath the fruit, so it doesn't feel like a soda. At 4.5% ABV, it's got actual body.
