| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 1, 2006 By no means a great kriek, but overall, not bad. Very sweet. Nice head. I found the cherries to be a bit too much and bordering on a little fake tasting. No proper sourness/tartnees to balance out the sweetness. Geiserich (1781), Vienna, Austria
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 30, 2006 Bottled: Intensive almond note, sweetish cherry notes. Sweet and sour flavor. Cherry juice feeling, light almond note. Sourly and astringent finish. Too artificial. saxo (3575), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 23, 2006 Bottle. Good strong cherry aroma. Nice head with medium duration. Taste is cherry and acidic. Lilith (242), Santiago, Chile
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 21, 2006 Its aroma is that of a maraschino, very sweet and that sort of deceived me. This was my first lambic so I thought they were sweeter...In any case, it has a beautiful red color that resemlbes a strawberry juice but with nice bubbles. It wasn’t served on the propper glass so it developed a very small head and almost no lacing (nothing to do with the picture :( ). It has a bittersweet flavor with a sour finnish and a cherry aftertaste.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 20, 2006 Updated: Nov 17, 2006Pours a dark and hazy ruby color with a small, light pink and medium retentive head. Not very promising.
Aroma is mostly of cherry, dry cherry and cane sugar, extremely sweet but with slightly yeasty notes.
Flavor has an obvious cherry-ish character. It starts with a short sweet initial attack, then becoming tart and yeasty. Very sour finish with a blur of bitterness.
Body is thick and highly carbonated. It has a consistence of a fruit nectar. Almost no alcohol noticeable.
Not really my cup of tea.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 9, 2006 Pours red with a small pink head, aromas of fermented cherries, sweetness. Flavor is carbonated, fruity(cherry), sweet, too sweet, i guess im not liking either this style or this brewery, nothing great here. smcd (366), USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 8, 2006 My favorite of the Chapeau labels, this kriek is a relatively sweet example that highlights its malt backbone while not forgetting the sour notes one expects in a lambic ... just not, unfortunately, in the complex abundance one might otherwise desire.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Mar 4, 2006 This beer offers a nice enticing cherry aroma. This beer is rose colored with a light pink colored head. This beer is thin and mildly tingles the tongue but does not produce much of a taste.
