Lindemans Cassis (75cl, 3.5%)

A Belgian fruit lambic beer brewed with black currants and spontaneously fermented wild yeast, bottled at 3.5% ABV in a 750ml format. Brouwerij Lindemans was founded in 1822 in Vlezenbeek. The base lambic is brewed from local barley and unmalted wheat, fermented spontaneously, aged in oak for approximately one year before black currants are added, and since 2012 sweetened with Stevia. The nose has concentrated cassis, with blackberry, licorice and sour funk. The palate is intensely sweet with blackcurrant juice, bracing acidity, medium-plus carbonation and a dry, woody note. The finish is moderately short and clean, with a sour tail and faint tannic dryness.
