Bottled (BB 11/2009)
Dark pinky red color, small pinky head. I was expecting sweet artifical aroma of strawberries, but got papery, sour aroma of old strawberries or strawberry jam (or old socks). Mouthfeel is sticky. Very sweet, strawberry jam flavor, hints of sour milk. Starts sugary but then has sharp sourness in the finish leading to tart aftertaste. Strange fruit lambic, not a total disaster as could expect from Chapeau-line.

Farmy fruity aroma. Brownish cloudy appearance. Much more like real sour lambic than other fruit lambics. Frabjous and galluptious on the palate. A real treat for the taste buds. Finish? What finsh, balderdash, its all gone! Piss me off. This stuff was really good.

Bottle, 25cl. Pours a murky reddish brown with a small, beige-brown head. More of a rim of bubbles than a real head actually. Quite sourish nose with lemon and acidity, as well as a little yeasty and barnyardy touch. Packed with ripe strawberries too. Slightly astringent and thin mouthfeel. Some sticky sweetness too. Flavorwise it’s lemony sour with a little acidic touch. As in the aroma, the strawberries are quite evident, even though the acidity makes it tend towards raspberries. Long, sour, acidic finish with a good dash of sweetness, making it a quite easily accessible beer. Refreshing and easy to drink, but a bit industrial. (080323)

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy red/brown with a diminishing pink head. Fruity strawberry aroma. Quite citric straberry flavoured with mild underlying sweetness lingering into the finish. Starts citric and turns slowly sweet with strawberry flavour on top. Mild lambic woody and sulphorish flavour too.
