COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Disclaimer: This is the sweetened version of Chapeau Kriek. In 2007 a new version was released, which can come with the same label as Chapeau Kriek, but which is a different beer. This new version is in the database as Chapeau Oude Kriek and it is not sweet. If you had a sweet beer, then you should rate this one. Otherwise, you should rate the Chapeau Oude Kriek.

Description: Since many decades, the brewers of the Senne valley are brewing Lambic. In the 19th century they have created several fruit beers. The cherry beer on base of Lambic was the first or one of the first. The Chapeau Kriek is made on base of Lambic, a artisanal traditional product which ripe on oaken barrels. The Chapeau Kriek is a fresh and delicious beer for delightful moments.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2008
Bottle at Aarhus beerfestival: Pours muddy brown with a red hew & nearly no head. Aroma is very sweet & sugary - cherry mainly - close to cloying. Body is medium - close to thin. One dimensional & doesnt really feel like an orig lambic!

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - MAY 18, 2008
Bottle @ Aarhus 2008.
Pours muddy pale brownish red. No head. Aroma has lots of sweeet fruity winegums, okay (rather artificial) cherry. A bit hin and quite watery. Flavour is sweet, lots of wine gum character. Not my thing.

Tranquillity (1314) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - APR 30, 2008
Bottled. Dark pink colour, small white head. Smells sweet, apples, cherries, almond. A bit metallic finish. Taste apple and cherry. Good, but a bit too sweet for me.

FatPhil (5970) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - APR 27, 2008
330ml bottle (BelgianShop)
Pinky red, small head. Sweet black cherry aroma, some almond. Fizzy palate. Sweet cherry and a bit of apple juice taste. OK, but not one to drink in any quantity, as it’s too sweet. Not really beer enough as a side effect of that.

agl108 (593) - Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 15, 2008
12 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured deep red, almost purplish with creamy pink head. Nose of strong, sweet cherries. Tastes almost like a cherry cough drop, but one of those good ones that taste like candy. Black cherry flavor evident as well. Much better than the reviews here would have you believe. I’m not sure what others expect, this beer delivers what it says on the label.

Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAR 9, 2008
Bottle. Low pink creamy and lasting head. Clear very dark red head. Heavy and sweet cherries aroma with a little, if any, grape fruit notes. Artificial taste of goodness knows what. Cherries, no way !
