The flavor is powerful but weird - like sour ginger - probably a result of the mixture of lambic and lemon. The color is a slightly hazy orange and it has a fine though fast disappearing head. The flavor starts out with a sweet sourness hitting your tongue - the sweetness probably stemming from the added suger. In the middle the flavor is totally dominated by lemon, that lingers - it only has hints of lambic. It is like the other Chapeau lambics. For me it has way too much lemon and too little lambic in it.

(Bottle 25 cl) Must admit that I’ve kept this bottle for quite some time, desperately seeking the right moment to drink a lemon beer. But then again lemon in beer is not THAT unusual - and De Troch has taught me to expect anything and nothing
Clear amber with a very small and collapsing head. 20% lemon juice is added to the already sour lambic with a ton of sugar to illiminate some of the acid. Quite fresh and sharp but more unusual than actually good. 161000

25 cL bottle. Pours golden orange with a white creamy/crispy head. Almost soapy lemon aroma, rather clean. Sweet and citric lemon flavoured with a whiff of that classic lambic woody flavour. Lemon lasts into the finish. Quite refreshing.

Bottled. Bronze colour. Lemon juice mixed with sugar. Fruity. Some lambicish notes remain, but it’s bold and soda-like. Acidic finish.

Bottle. Golden color with white head. Nose is mainly lemon and lime. Taste is almost lemon juice, with a short, sweet beginning and a lemon-acid finish.

Bottle, 3.5%. Sweet, caramelly, slightly citric aroma. Clear amber colour. The flavour is quite citric and sour. Biting lemon aftertaste. That would be tolerable, were it not for the underlying flat, bready homebrew mash flavour.

Bottled (found in the cellar a while back). Orange goldenish colour with small white fluffy head. Aroma is sweetish sour fruits, mild cereals and bready notes. Flavour is lemon mixed in with yeast, wood and cardboard.
