It’s difficult to find words for how amazingly fantastic this beer is. It has the sweet flavour of berries, with more fruit bursting forth in the delicious finish. A candy aroma, packed with fruit, with an exotic, scrumptious fruity texture. Behold! One of the best beers of all time, with tones of cherries throughout. A creamy, undulating head tops this medium-bodied sweet beer. Exquisite is every way. It has recently lowered it’s alcohol strength to 3.5abv. It always used to be 4abv. Not that it takes any of the beauty from this, the best Kriek in existence.
Almost like an alcoholic Ribena drink, and yet so much more, Lindemans Cassis is of a mid to dark red hue, with a smooth head that forms crown lacing around the glass. It is surprisingly medium-bodied, with moderate fizz, and is very sweet. Sweet blackberries dominate the flavour, finishing sweet and rather sour. There is a somewhat bitter note to the aftertaste, which also has a cleansing feel to it.
The mouthfell of Lindemans Cassis is smooth and fruity. You can sense the alcohol, low as it is, through the aroma, which contains lot of dark fruits. This is a high-ranking fruit beer of more character than you'd expect from a beer of its kind.
