Chapeau Mirabelle

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

Couleur «jus de pomme brut». Sent le cidre. Trouble. Mousse peu abondante mais très légère et pleine de bulles qui adhèrent au verre. Effervescence assez présente à l’attaque, mais la finale est douce et sucrée.

Bottled 25cl, alc. 3.5% (BB 03/2007)
Hazy orange color, not much head. Sourish flavor of sugared plums. Medium-bodied, almost flat. Starts really sugary, then more or less artifical flavor of plum and sourness of balsamico. Sugar bomb...

This one of the Chapeau collection that i’ve had was my least favorite. But i’m not a fan of plums. Sweet fruity aroma. Pours a light amber with no head. Very very sweet, too sweet for me. Prefer the Banana!

It is not every day you drink a plum beer! Lots of fruit. Very sweet. Refreshing.

This beer offers a hearty aroma of fruit and oak. It is an amber colored solution with no head produced. This sweet beer perks the whole mouth as it leaves a tingle on the tongue. The citric acid in it dries the teeth a little. (

Medium gold, hazy, quite chunky at the bottom, little head fades fast. Aroma a touch of horseblanket, fruit sweetness, and some wood. Flavor was initially wood, faint horseblanket, and non-descript fruit sweetness. As it warmed, fruit sweetness dominated, while the lambic elements were sent scurrying to the back. Perhaps not serious, but not bad really.

another soda beer. a great example that not all belgian beers rock. sweet and spritey.

Sour fruit mash aroma. Cloudy orange/yellow combination with a fast fading head. Sweet fruit syrup fore followed by some carbonated spritziness and a sour finish. There is an aged mustiness to the whole affair.
