it’s almost a fruity rose, when drunk cold.
Wonderful realfruit flavour, which they use!
Use it’s in dressings, sabayon’s and so on.
It’s made with geuze but it’s well balanced in the sweet and sour tasting, and it has a very long aftertaste

Raspberry lambic at its finest.Once deported by All-Saints in
Minnesota,
now deported by Noble Union in Texas.
I was happy to see this brew in the
liquor store again.Not even New Glarus
can touch this.
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 20/20
UPDATED: JUL 11, 2008 Corked bottle. Big fresh rasperry jelly aroma. Beautiful cloudy darker purple ruby color. Taste is raspberry explosion. Average carbonation. Nice for the sweet at heart. Barnyard manure flavors in an old aged barn barrel of crushed raspberries. Perfect sweet finsh, just plain lovely.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
375mL bottle, capped and corked. Enjoyed from my CHAPEAU flute glass. Pour is like a White Merlot, dark red burgundy color. Aroma of tart raspberry juice, fresh raspberry jam, dried raspberry fruit leather. Lots of raspberry. Flavor of tart fruit, acid juice, some wheat malt. Finishes with a bold Lambic attic character, tastes like cork and cobwebs. Fruit and old wood, fantastic! Mild Carbonation. This is the best of all Chapeau bottles I’ve sampled. Simply Wonderful.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Appearance: Ruby red with a small red/pink head. Nice color, wished for more head.
THICK raspberry smell. Now, you either like the smell of raspberries or you don't- I love the smell- especially here, where it doesn't smell like some sort of cheap extract, but instead FRESH fruit.
Wonderful- though it's very unbeerlike in taste.
Drinkable as hell- but one at a time- too much might be too sweet & give a stomache ache.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Wow. smell is excellent. fruity, juicy plums, pears and raspberries. Sweet. The best of the chapeau pseudo-sours.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep dark purple pour with little brown raspberry puree sentiment. Nose is raspberry sorbet. Very strong. Taste is very sweet raspberry, almost juice like. More sweet than sour as is the case for most De Troch Chapeaus.

Though despised by my local purveyor of fine Belgians (24th St. in SF) as commercial swill, this lambic delivered an amazing experience one summer day in hot southern Oregon. There was a ’cheese’ on the cork and explosive aroma with extraordinary effervescence that bubbled raspberry all over the tongue -- tangy and sweet. It’s cloudy and rust-edged color and flocking were evidence of bottle fermentation. I wish I had written down the date of drinking and the date of bottling! This was an amazing lambic I returned to several times with varying degrees of success.
