A 330ml can with a best before date of 15th February 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.

Appearance: A purplish ruby red colour with a two finger pinkish head that had decent retention and left some nice lacing.

Aroma: Sweet, candy, dessert, blueberry, vanilla, berry soda.

Taste: Sweet, hard candy, blueberry, vanilla, blueberry milkshake, berry soda, jammy, syrupy, way too sweet.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied, moderate carbonation, way too sweet such that it was uncomfortable.

Overall: Sweetened Lambic with sugar added, which is not my thing, as its generally too sweet for my palate, and this one was definitely way too sweet… so sweet that it was uncomfortable on my palate. Found out that sloe is blackthorn, but I haven’t tried the fruit before. In this case it seems to have resembled blueberry in aroma and taste. Very uncomplex for a fruit lambic, but it was the over sweetness that was the main downfall.
