Chapeau Exotic

Brewed by Brouwerij De Troch
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Ternat-Wambeek, Belgium

Bottle. Medium high fluffy but lasting white head leaving nice lacings. Hazy peach coloured body. Pineapple peach aroma. Sweet light acidic citrus pineapple flavor with high carbonation and a long sweet aftertaste. Quite refreshing.

Pours a golden yellow, maybe a tint of orange mixed in. Smells is of overwhelming fruits, specifically pineapple. Taste is of pineapple, with an extremely sweet finish. Actually it was a bit too sweet! Actually tough to take this one down.

Pours a pale, crystal clear yellow. Very little to no head at all. Funky lambic nose. Obvious pineapple. Good sour. Very sweet. Candy like flavor. Kind of sugary. The more I drink, the worse it gets though. Medium mouth feel, but completely flat. No carbonation at all. Disappointment since I love pineapple and lambic. Bad combination though.

Bottle: Light golden with good clarity and a wispy white head. Over the top pineapple syrup aroma- completely filled with artificial sugary pineapple flavorings- when it warms there’s a very mild note of wet cork. Slick sugary body. Just a touch of old cork/oxidation notes at the fore. Other than that it’s straight piña colada syrup flavoring. Just way too sugary to even be drinkable- rough to choke down. This style should be way drier.

250ml bottle, honey gold color, with a white head, sweet artificial fruity, banana, pineapple, coconut nose, with a hint of wet oakiness, and some candi sugar, faint lactic, coconut milk, vanilla aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet and sour, fruity acidic, pieapple purée character, with a faint coconut, candi sugar, honeyed wheaten malt note, and a light lambic yeastiness, leading towards a sweet fruity bananaish, pineapple, faint oaky finish.

25 cl bottle, 3.5% a/v A little wary of this beer, something seems wrong here. Lets see.. Pours pretty well, light straw, white head, the usula. Aroma is quite pineapply (surprise!), and smells too sweet. The taste is actually not bad, kind of interesting. Get pineapple juice, add to beer and you have this. Nothing remarkable, but maybe not as bad as some think!

25cl bottle from Dranken Geers. It’s a pineappley alco poppy beer. Nothing wrong with it. Maybe a little sweet. But hell I’d drink this over an infected crap bitter. Nothing wrong with these fruit things. Damn I’m thirsty tonight. Lasted maybe 3 minutes.

I’ve never had anything worse in my mouth. This coming from a guy that drinks bud chelada. Points for having a great pour but beyond that everything about this beer is amazingly aweful. Tastes and smells like garbage juice. Just yuck.
