Chapeau Pêche

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

This wasn't that bad. It poured a nice peach color with a thin bubbly head. The taste was subdued peach and was actually pretty pleasant.

I have no choice fail this beer with a bang. I am certain, that there was something wrong with my bottle eventhough Chapeau is the worst "lambic" brewery i the world, it is usually not that bad. It was mouldy and ít would be torture to drink this.

Absolutely disgusting. It smells and tastes extremely mouldy. I almost vomited.

Large off-white head atop a bubbly clear golden body. Aroma is soft peach, mildly sweet. Taste is sweet peach, weak cheesiness, slight sourness and acidity in the swallow. Yes the elements of a lambic are present, but just barely -- it's hardly more than a fruit beer.

Bottle. Less sweet than average fruit Chapeau. Quite delicate. Aroma is more lambic than peach, but there is a touch of peach along with the cheese, acid and dirty socks. Sweet up front - a delicate peach fruit sweetness. Gentle acidity comes along, and the whole is rounded off in a cidery manner. Very pleasant and refreshing - but quite sober compared to the normal fun, sweet, summer explosions of other Chapeau.

The underlying lambic here is neither sour enough, nor with the body one might want. This sample has started to go south; lots of floating hop bits and yeast. The aroma carries the day here, still retaining some semblance of leather and barnyard, peach rather subtle. But the taste is candied, indeed; too much sugary peach, very little sourness or bitterness. Not very good overall. The first of de Troch's offerings I've had.

Chapeau's peche has a pungent, earthy, yeasty aroma emanating from a beautiful coppery amber body, absolutely filled with flecks of yeast. This lambic has a wonderful feel - it smoothly coats your tongue and palate. But the peach flavor I was expecting was overwhelmed by too much alcohol, and it finished with surprising bitterness, like an overripe, sour peachskin.

Hazy orange-amber w/ minimal white head. Fresh peach & apple on the nose w/ notes of leather. Syrupy feel. Very sweet candied peach flavour w/ a mild tartness & mildly dry finish. Becomes cloying quickly.
