Alengrin (11018) - Gent, BELGIUM - OCT 21, 2014Sweetened ’cassis’ (blackcurrant lambic as invented by Lindemans) with somewhat purplish head, very sweet, red berry jam, artificial, fortunately not too cloying, but lambic character very subdued. Too sugary and one-sided for me to enjoy, as usual in this style.
