I pour purplish red with a creamy pink foam that releases an aroma thick with ripe currants, sharp oak and wild yeast. From those notes, you can probably already guess – I'm a Lambic made with blackcurrants. "Cassis" is French for blackcurrants, which is a classic Belgian favourite, used for centuries as an ingredient in liquors.
Like most Lambics, I am spontaneously fermented, then aged in oak casks which gives me a fine, complex fruit character. I'm known worldwide as a sweet and sour Belgian beer with a mouthwatering hit of juicy, dark fruits.

Southwest of Brussels, in the quiet Belgian town, the Lindemans family has been farming and homebrewing since 1822. Lambic, or spontaneously fermented beers, are the beers of this region and are among the world's rarest: they are the only beer style that is fermented via wild, airborne yeast – no yeast is added by the brewers. The unusual, demanding and unique flavours that come from multiple yeast strains are unmatched in the world of beer, and Lindemans Brewery is among the only few who is able to turn them into some of the world's best lambics.
