Cassis by Hanssens Artisanaal, a traditional Belgian blender of Lambics, is something of a landmark among beers of its type, pouring deep ruby red underneath a fine pink head.
Pours a nice bright reddish with a violet tinge- somewhat hazy and gets hazier as the pours continue. The nose is sour, dry, and dusty with some raw oak and tart seedy raspberries. Aroma is bitingly tart fruits, rotten berries, burnt rubber, lemon juice and wet earth. Musty basement in there as well. Taste is sour fruit, berries, sour cherry, lemon juice, vinegar/acetic acid, wet wood and damp basement. Light cat piss as well. Body is light and slick. A very good lambic with a serious funk and acidic punch on tongue but with enough fruit to pull it off. Good stuff and extremely refreshing.
