4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle (corked & capped 12 oz) poured correctly by server, into a correct glass. Unlike some of the other reviewers, it seems I got a fresh bottle of this lambic: the color in the glass was a beautiful dark strawberry, not brown. Holding the glass up to the ample natural light seemed to accent the color, while revealing a non-distracting cloudiness. Very little head because of the careful pour, I think. The nose was fresh strawberries. The first few mouthfuls were appropriately sweet but not cloying. The body of this sample was medium; the carbonation was light, with tiny bubbles. At 3.5 per cent alcohol, this went down very well and never turned bitter. To me, it’s a good example of the type and tasty, too.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
A: The pour is a slightly hazy amber sort of color with a small white head.
S: A strawberry jam type of aroma initially but underneath there is some medicinal and chemical notes, along with some cork.
T: This isn’t quite as bad as Bootlegger’s Pink Funkasaurus, but it’s getting there. Bandaids, sugary strawberry bubblegum, and a hint of sourness. There’s also some plastic kind of flavor here, but that’s not really surprising.
M: The body is on the light end of medium with the carbonation being middle of the road.
D: Do. Not. Want. This was not pleasant at all, and one of the more foul Chapeau lambics.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Pours with a clear orange-amber body with a small white head. Aroma of strawberry preserves, wood shavings, attic, dust and leather. Taste is leather, lightly tart, strawberries, horse hair, corn syrup. Fizzy.
4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Terrific strawberry lambic. Light and somewhat syrupy. Dirty brown pour. Very smooth strawberry taste with light malts. Probably, too sweet and sugary for most. It’s definitely not for everyone. Rated 2/10/03
