Chapeau Pêche

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

Bottle from Super Saver. Pours orangy copper with off-white head. Aroma of tart gueuzy fruit, including pear, peach, apple, and apricot, plus some soggy earthy notes. The flavor is very sweet, with not a lot of carbonation, and peach, apple, pear notes. Almost tastes like a mix of peach snapple and apple wine with a spritz.

Really more apple in this aroma than peach. A nice flavor. This peach lambic is very light in the peach flavor and doesn’t have the wildness found in the abricot. Not that yeasty. Ok, but not exciting.

Bottle. I was very disappointed in this one. Was not worth the money as a lambic cost. The taste would fall flat and tasted too much like a cider than a lambic. This did not do anything for me.

Bottle at Issac Newton’s. Pours pale orange\gold with a small white head. Aroma of peaches and not much else. Flavor is sweet upfront, peach obviously, with a fermented sour, tart finish. I am no fan of Lambics, and this hasn’t converted me.

Amber color with foamy white head. Strong peach aroma overpowering anything else. Peach flavor with a malt beer finish. Very pleasant to the tongue.

Bottle, corked and capped. Pours a lovely golden peach hue. Small soda like white head. Sweet, stinky peach nose. Artificial and sticky, syrupy and cloyingly sweet. I had an old exotic fruit chapeau that had a lambic funk to it. These new ones are grossly sugary. You could make some fun beer cocktails with these, but besides that, they should be drain-poured! Or toilet-o-poured as Turdferguson so gently points out.

this stuff is not very good, in my opinion. tastes a little bit like liquidized peach rings, but also has a very offending aftertaste that makes me want to pour this stuff in the toilet. in fact, that will be my next action after i finish this rating.

Again...nothing to do with "beer", but a mildly refreshing warm weather cooler. Not overly sweet, with a fake peach flavor that seems relatively restrained for this over the top style.
