Chapeau Framboise

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

Very sweet raspberry nose - not very beer nor lambic aroma but OK. The color is deep red and slightly hazy with a small fast disappearing head. The flavor is sweet and a little sour and sharp - the sharpness lingers a little. An OK beer without being great - definatly not a hardcore lambic.

(Bottle 25 cl) Dark red with almost no head at all. Very, very sweet with a vague underlying sweetness from the Lambic. Artificial and sticky - and very raspberrish. But not a great Framboise. 230300

<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.
