Chapeau Fraises

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

Bottle from The Wine Company, Slough. Looks like murky sewag, I was expecting a clear red, slight off-white head with a tinge of pink. Aroma is of strawberry milkshake. Tastes like a soft strawberry juice drink. Not overly sweet, not at all sour. Tasty beer that would appeal to almost anyone, except perhaps beer drinkers.

Cloudy light amber color. Strawberry candies aroma. The flavor is not even sweet enough, so it’s less pleasant to drink, even as soft drink.

Bottled. Cloudy brownish amber. Aroma and flavour is nothing but artificial strawberry jam. The mouthfeel is, of course, sticky sweet.

Lambic beer is not my favorite style of beer, but my girlfriend convinced me to try this one. Appearence is dark and murky, with no head or carbonation. Aroma is strawberry but not overly sweet. Flavor is also sweet with a bitter finish.

Good strawberry aroma, cloudy plum colour, tiny pinkish head. Tastes medicinal. Not overly sweet, or sour or tart? Sub par lambic.

Murky, brown-apple color. No head. Aroma of over-ripened strawberries and tannin. Oaky, strawberry flavor is more sweet than sour, but both elements are there. You can clearly distinguish the bitterness of strawberry seeds, very reminiscent of sesame seeds. Clean finish. Not nearly as putrid as the score would have you think.

Darker than I expected. Some hints of red-colour. Sour aroma with hints of strawberry. Flavor is first sour/sweet and a little bit strawberry, then it turns bad, something like cornflakes.

What a strange beer. I really like Krieks but this strawberry beer is a little to much for me! No head and a strange brown hazy body (looks more like a rotten apple than strawberries). Very sweet taste of stewed strawberry but a nice bitter aftertaste. Really, this beer is to synthetic for my taste.
