Ternat-Wambeek, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Sampled from a bottle, this beer had a dark red pour (with some red rose color), the pour made a thin cover of large bubbles that moved to a partial cover and ring, it appeared there was little carbonation in this beer, I could not find any bubbles flowing in the glass, the beer left a little lacing as I drank, there were aromas of raspberry, raspberry sweetness and a little sourness on the nose, and a little wood and vegetable off-ness in this beer? Not sure what it was, oxidation maybe? I know I did not like it. flavors were raspberry and a little sweetness with a little off-ness at the finish of this drink from the same thing I mentioned in the smell of this beer, the finish was a little drying, mouth feel was so-so, I did not enjoy this beer, and I would not try again.

Pours a red color with no head. The taste is sweet, fruity with loads of rasberry flavors. Finshes slight sour and balanced. Light dry palate.

Bottle. Pours a hazy light red with a quick, small head. Sweet raspberry aroma. Flavor is sweet raspberry with a slight tartness. Overall ok. A little more tartness would make it a lot better.

This is the best of the Chapeau lambics I have tried. The beer pours a pinkish color with a white head. The aroma is full of tart raspberries with a little bit of sugar mixed in. The flavor is actually not too bad. It is a mix of sweet and sour raspberries, although the sugar is pretty artificial tasting. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A light bodied brew pouring red with light pink head into glass with little bit of lacing. Smells of raspberries. Taste of tart raspberries. Good carbonation gives a nice tinge on the tongue.

Bottle.Red colour with no head.Aroma is sweet of raspberrys and sugar,feels sticky and oily with flavor of wingums and sodapop.

Dunkelrot, fast schon braun ist dieses Bier. An Bier erinnert das Getränk allergins kaum, eher wie frisch gepresster Saft. Und sehr süß ist das Zeug auch. Schwer zu bewerten, schmecken tut es, aber wirklich Bier ist es nicht. Test vom 12.10.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,9,9,11,9 - 9,10

From a 12 oz bottle. Slightly hazy dark purple/red pour, minimal head, little lacing. Aroma is oddly metallic fruit, some weird bacterial/rotting notes as well. Not much else. Taste is pretty much terrible. Again, the odd rotting fruit flavors really dominate the finish of this beer. Odd dry finish with a sweet start. Drainpour.
