Geel bier zonder schuim. Smaak is zuur en chemisch. Lijkt niet op lambiek en evenmin is citroen te ontdekken. Misschien iets voor de liefhebber, echter niet voor mij. Etiket is inmiddels veranderd.

25cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - slightly hazy and golden with a thin head. Nose - lemon balm with lemon zest coming behind. Taste - like drinking straight lemon juice with no beer flavours evident at all. Palate - light to medium bodied with a bitter middle and end. Overall - this one wasn’t as sweet as the others, obviously because of the fact it was a bitter fruit. However, it was just like literally sucking a lemon so no complexity at all.

250ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Light lemon aromas, but a big sour lemon taste. Near-drain pour material. Jings.

Botte from Beers of Europe. It pours hazy golden with a small bubbly white head. The nose is sweet, sugary lemonade, tangy, candied peel and faint sherbet. The taste is tangy lemon, white sugar, lemonade, a touch of acidity, wood and cheap lemon sherbets with a short finish. Light body and fine carbonation. One of the better Chapeau fruit beer s to be honest. There is a bit of acidity to carry some of that crazy sweetness. Not great, but a step about the banana/apricot!

Flasche. - Goldgelb, wenig Schaum. In der Nase etwas „chemischer“ Zitronenduft, der an Vitamin-C-Brausetabletten erinnert, leichte Lambicnote. Im Antrunk dann kräftiger, sehr natürlicher Zitronengeschmack (enthält lt. Etikett immerhin 20 %! Zitrone!). Süßsauer aber nicht zu sauer (enthält auch reichlich Zucker). Eine angenehm herbe Lambic-Note mit leichter Schärfe gleicht den süßsaueren Ansturm auf die Geschmacksknospen aus und macht dieses Getränk zu einer interessanten Geschmackserfahrung. - Sicher kein „richtiges“ Lambic, aber auf seine Art durchaus lecker, wenn es mal was Fruchtiges sein soll.

250 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgaard. ABV is 3.5%. Sampled half a year past BB date. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of "unfresh" malts and lemons. Sour and sweet flavour of lemons and more lemons, some malts in the background. Must be a nice summer refreshment, when fresh.

Clear golden colour, no head. Aroma of citrus, lemonade, lightest hint of funk. Sour flavour, lemon juice, citric acid. Light hint of sweetness, like lemonade, but not overly so. Sour lemony finish. Very enjoyable in warm weather, which it just so happens to be today. Exactly what a thirsty man needs, a sour and refreshing sodapop beer.

Tasting glass from 375 ml. bottle @ the brewery during Tour de Geuze. Pours a clear bright golden, head is interesting, oddly quickly gone,… Nose is all artificial, citric acid which they use in soda’s, cheap lemon lemonade,… Taste is similar citric acid from coca-cola style beverage dominates, actually making this sour albeit not in a sour beer kind of way, near industrial cleaning agent,… Carbonation is not that. I have had their unblended lambic & you wouldn’t need to add a lot of stuff to make the old one taste like this but to make the younger ones taste like this,… you would need to add so much that you basically cannot even classify this as a beer. Not atrocious or anything but this is lemonade even if you stretch the definition of beer to the limit.

Bottle. Pours clear pale amber with no head at all. Terrible odour, reminding me of what was used in all dental clinics in Poland back in the 1990’s. Some disinfecting, pseudocitrusy detergent. Tastes like that, too, probably. Not vinous, just sickeningly sour taste, interspersed with artificial honey notes. Pray tell me, how could this ever have been classified as foodstuff? Yuck!

Bottle. Wow, what a concept. Hazy yellow color, medium white head. Aroma of sour lemons. Taste is similar. I’m not sure what else to expect from this one.
