TBone (4841), Pori, Finland May 3, 2008 Bottled (BB 11/2009)
Dark pinky red color, small pinky head. I was expecting sweet artifical aroma of strawberries, but got papery, sour aroma of old strawberries or strawberry jam (or old socks). Mouthfeel is sticky. Very sweet, strawberry jam flavor, hints of sour milk. Starts sugary but then has sharp sourness in the finish leading to tart aftertaste. Strange fruit lambic, not a total disaster as could expect from Chapeau-line.
daknole (531), Plantation, Florida, USA Jul 20, 2008 Bottle from Knightly Spirits in Orlando. Slightly cloudy reddish/yellowish color. With a foamy whitish head. Aroma is strawberries and funky. I smell wood and farmy or earthy smells. Flavor is sweet with strawberries and a bit tart. Not syrupy at all. Not my favorite but not awful by any means. bhensonb (2731), Woodland, California, USA May 27, 2008 Tap at ’t Brugs Beertje. Hazy ruby color with a fine pinkish head. Strong strawberry flavor; sweet followed by sour: Very light sour. Finishes sweetish, but the lactic lurks beneath. High quality soda with alcohol. Tasty. thewolf (3392), Kolding, Denmark May 27, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Havnens Vin og Tobak, Vejle.
Pours unappetizingly brown-red with an initially fizzy dark pink head that settles as a thin film. Aroma is earthy, light funk and okay, not too sweet strawberry. High carbonation, rather thin. Flavour is sweet, not much of any tartness anywhere. Fine strawberry tones though - much more real than fx Früli. Okay. grandet (300), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA May 21, 2008 Bottle. Nice red color pour with a small white head. Smell is of strawberry and some earthy tones. Flavor is much too sweet, but has lots of strawberry. maybe with some time......maybe not. Dedollewaitor (1825), Odense, Denmark May 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark red with a off white head. Aroma & taste is sweet & sour- strawberry , yeast, leather & funk. Got the typical earthy, old De Troch feel. OK
