Pale clear, old gold yellow; faint white rim, little carbonation. Nauseating smell of banana-mash, overripe, and yet sweetened with unbelievably cheap syrup of indistinct descent. Taste again overripe banana, honey or honey-covered nuts, as in some Turkish dessert meant for catching wasps. Faint sourness, as if the bananas are fermenting. Slight sharp edge, light bodied. Truly disgusting.

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...

Bright golden body. White fizzy head, instantly diminishing. Very strong pinapple flavour, hints of real lambic. Tastes like pineapple-juice. Just another (bad) Chapeau Lambic-sirupe combination.

A hazy orange beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is sour with notes of wood and sweet malt and only hints of pineapple - a very promising aroma for a Chapeau. But the good promises from the aroma is destroyed by tasting it, because the flavor is way too sweet and dominated totally by pineapple - it tastes like a pineapple sodapop - since the carbonization prickles the tongue.

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.
