Lovely orange pour. Nose is fresh juice. Tart pineapple juice and candied fruit taste to it. I know I’m in the minority here, but I love this brewery. Rated 2/10/03

It smells like a sour at first, and then the signature unripe fruit smell of DeTroch fruit brews. The color is straw yellow with a very small head. The flavor, which is completely different than the nose is a very sugary sweet exotic tropical flavor, hence the pineapple. Typical beer that the normal beer geek would hate but I would love.

unclemattie (3243) - Georgia, USA - JAN 10, 2010
375ml, capped and corked. Golden color, syrupy pour. Pineapple extract for pineapple candy aroma. Very sugary aroma. A touch of peach pit. Flavor of pineapple juice with a touch of attic Finishes with attic character after the sugar dissipates. Not very lambic.

LilBeerDoctor (2568) - East Setauket, New York, USA - JUL 3, 2009
Bottle. Pours a cloudy light orange with a small white head. Aroma of pineapple, coconut, plum, and apple. Flavor of more pineapple and coconut. Sweet and reminds me of a pina colada. Pretty tasty actually. By now I know not to trust the overall ratings for Chapeau...ratebeerians are crazy. Anyway, decent beer and plenty drinkable. 7/4/7/3/14 (3.5/5)

womencantsail (3572) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - SEP 10, 2010
A: The pour is a clear golden color with a finger’s worth of white head. S: The nose is intensely sweet pineapples. I was surprised by the level of pineapple aroma in this beer, but was hoping for a bit of tartness as well. T: This beer essentially tastes like a pineapple flavored Lifesaver candy. Again, I wish it was more than just sweetness, but in a sick sense, I really like this. M: The body is medium with the carbonation fitting the same description. D: This is sort of a guilty pleasure type of beer. I liked this one, though I don’t know how much I could really drink at a time. Still, strangely enjoyable.

SilkTork (4691) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - MAR 24, 2004
Bottle. Pale gold. Musty pineapple aroma with white chocolate notes and a bit of vanilla. Pleasantly sweet with the faintest bit of acid to clear the throat. Very gulpable and very nice.

BeerHawk (1590) - Huntsville, Alabama, USA - JUN 3, 2011
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.
