Bottle from Specs; Kehma, TX; Nose of tartness and strawberries; hazy rose colored with a small pinkish head; flavor had the more tartness than any of the other 6 Chapeau lambics I’ve had including the Faro.Tastes like tart strawberries with the tartness lasting to a mellow finish.

Undated bottle at Julios Spring Beer Fest, 04/02/05. Light pink-red, like an unripe strawberry. Small cover of bubbles diminishes immediately, a bit of cloudiness. Smells lightly sweet, but has real enough strawberry essence aroma, mixed with a little cask wood and a touch of dry, lightly tart yeast. Flavor, while sweet, was not powdery, syrupy or terribly artificial, not like the mirabelle or framboise. Body is medium, with a touch of fruit syrup, a light zest of carbonation for texture and a hint of tartness on the finish. Oak does not dry the flavor out well enough, though at least it is not dominant, but can be noted. Just needs a good deal more lambic quality and less fruit, in my opinion, though to be fair, there is some lightly tart yeast, to call it funky might be pushing it, however.

Very dirty brown-red beer; gushing from the bottle to form a rim of white bubbles. Strawberries as in jam of -, bit woody, wet cardboard make out the nose. Imagine strawberry jam being dissolved into soda water, lemon juice, a shot of sweetish ale and, as Tim says, a shot of yoghurt. Well - that’s Chapeau fraises for you. Medium bodied, quite some acids. I’m surprising myself. This isn’t even bad. Compared to some other fruit concoctions popping up left and right...
