Clear amber body, with a faintly pinkish shine troughout. Off-white head which disappears instantly. Very strong lemon aroma (as the name made me expect :)) The flavour is like lemon juice with some gueuze added. The flavour is dominated by the lemon aromas (and therefore sour). Maybe these kind of beers will become more common sense in the future. And maybe I expect a stereotype flavour, but I just don’t like this one/this kind of beer.

Rather ugly hazy amber colour. Aroma and palate are sweet & sour with lemon notes and a healthy dose of sugar. Same as all the other Chapeaus, just with a different fruit flavour. Lemon is ok for lambics so it's more tolerable that some of their other ones.

The flavor is powerful but weird - like sour ginger - probably a result of the mixture of lambic and lemon. The color is a slightly hazy orange and it has a fine though fast disappearing head. The flavor starts out with a sweet sourness hitting your tongue - the sweetness probably stemming from the added suger. In the middle the flavor is totally dominated by lemon, that lingers - it only has hints of lambic. It is like the other Chapeau lambics. For me it has way too much lemon and too little lambic in it.
