Chapeau Framboise

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

Murky red/brown color,Mild raspberry aroma with slight sweet and sour side.The flavor was raspberry and kind of sickening at times with it’s sweet side and the raspberry flavor just seemed off.theres a slight medicinal side to this brew that isn’t real bad in the beginning but as the drinking of it progresses it gets a little annoying.Over all it’s worth a try but i’d prefer a Lindeman’s over this stuff.

This was just like those little strawberry candies that come with those meat & cheese gift boxes!!! Terribly medicinal andcough syrupy. Sugary sweet at the end. Where is the sourness?

Ugh! Cherry flavored syrup candy. I didn’t enjoy this one at all. Too sweet and artificial.

Dark color, red hue. Artificial strawberry aroma, sweet. Sweet in the front, drier at the end.

Sampled from bottle at Danish Beer Festival 2004 (#63).
Muddy reddish color, small head. Thick artificial raspberry aroma, almost like a raspberry pie. Flavor is sweet and sour with lots of raspberries. Very thick and more a fruitbeer than a lambic. Little dry.

<i<Bottled. Cloudy dark red. Aroma of raspberry jam. Sweet, but does still have some acidity. Vinegary finish. A joke compared to the real lambics, but still I can actually enjoy this - at least a little bit.

Deep, nearly opaque ruby with a thin pink head. Nose is fruit alright, but not the tart, sour I want in a lambic. It IS sikeningly sweet by lambic standards--it's more like koolaid than a beer. Give me the Bretanomyces character or just don't brew the beer.

Deep red, muddy body. Pinkish head, but instantly disappearing, good lacing. The sweet raspberry aroma is already noticeable without really sniffing. Very sweet (ligthly sour) flavour. Dito for the finish, but with the addition of some bitterness. This beer should be named "Lambic - Soda".
