Chapeau Mirabelle

Brewed by Brouwerij De Troch
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Ternat-Wambeek, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Clear yellow pour with no head. Tons of yeast chunks in suspension. The nose is must, corky, and nectary with cloying sweetness. The flavor is much the same with sweet peach and apricot nectar finishing with white grape juice. Funk profile is minimal to non existent. The palate is watery and sugary with a sticky finish.

2009 Bottle - Pours a hazy golden with a small white head...aroma is sweet candlewax, fruity malt, sticky, plum candy...flavour is similar, lightly tart and woody before it goes into trainwreck mode, waxy, artificial plum syrup, wet hair, crayon...

Bottle. Pours with a large white head over a hazed golden body. Aroma is musty, cloying, bee’s wax, lip balm and swisher sweet wrappings. Taste is really sweet, musty, candle, rotten fruit, cork, woodshavings. Fizzy. Bad!

Orange cream pour. Sweet candy nose. Taste is exactly like a candied plum. If that appeals to you, then you’ll love it. If it doesn’t, you’ll hate it. There’s no middle ground with this beer.

Bottled 250ml. -Hazy pale orange coloured, minimal head, sweet nose. Sweet & sour over-ripe plum taste with sugary finish. Also slight syrupy. Quite bad Chapeau.

Bottle. In spite of my best efforts of pouring, and having it sit upright in the fridge for a week prior to even pouring this still poured a few pieces of cardboard like looking nastiness into my glass along with a number of small floating bits. Aside from that, pours a relatively clear orange tinged amber, still, no head. Old plum wine aromas, slight vinegar, oxidized apples. Oh my. Cloyingly sweet. Combined with the lack of carbonation, this tastes pretty much like a flat sprite. Not much sour stuff going on here, finishes with a very light tang, and more sugar. I don’t really like soda, I dislike flat soda even more, and beer that tastes like flat soda… not a fan of that either.

Bouteille, mirabelle est un type de prune. bière fruitée, légère, sucrée, peu d’alcool. peu d’amertume. Un produit pour femme (sans sexisme) désaltérant. agréable.

Bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy gold with fast fading white head. Aroma of plumb, faint barnyard. Flavor is the same and sweet. Mouth feel is light-medium body with medium carbonation. This isn’t as fizzy as a few I have had from them but it tasted decent.
