Chapeau Exotic

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

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Hazy orange coloured beer with small white head and only very few carbonation. Full fruity (pineaple) aroma. Medium sparkling palate. Finish is fruity sweet ending full fruity. Too sweet.

Bottle @ home, shared with my girlfriend. Clear yellow to orange color. Smell is undescribable! A mix of something fruity with something weird and horrible! Can’t bear to smell it again. Taste is slightly less bad. A lot of fruit, sweetness and just a bad mix. Low carbo, low body.

Fra flaske på Brouwerij De Troch i Wambeek under Tour de Geuze 1 Mai 2011. Lys gylden. 0 skum. Gjennomført kunstig ananaspreg. Vel søt.

Yellow with a hint of orange. Thin head. Sweet pineapple scent is overpowering. Slight locker room funk smell. Way too sweet with a nasty aftertaste. Yellow lifesavers in a bitter liquid form. I would rather be drinking a Steelback Tango (currently worst rated beer on site at time I took these notes). The worst beer I have ever had.

bottle from liquor express - Aroma smells like caramelized pineapple and some woody vanilla notes. Odd. Pours clear orange-gold with no head. Taste is sweet, like condensed fruit cocktail, without the sourness you would expect in a lambic. Palate is a little syrupy and lingering. Overall, I bought this because it was on sale and for the novelty factor of a pineapple lambic. The base lambic is almost entirely overpowered by the pineapple, which is disappointing. I think they have lost the plot with this one.

Poured hazy yellowish color into glass with fast diminishing white head. Smelled of pineapple and wood. Tasted sweet pineapple up front, followed by sourish lambic. Light body with little carbonation.

Bottle. Dark golden with short lived head. Aroma is sourish and vinous, ananas combined with white wine and quite pronouncedly metallic at that. Taste is sourish, a bit like a half dry white wine mixed with ananas juice and some cider thrown in, as apples are also present. Plus some metallic elements. Not bad but not exactly good either.

Bottle. Poured golden with a very small and short lived white head. Sweet aroma of pineapple and barrel wood. The flavor was much the same with the wood being less pronounced than in the aroma. Medium body and sweet overall. Interesting.
