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.

The aroma has cherries, nuts, sugar, and chemicals. The appearance is red with a thin head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it stinks.

This fruit lambic pours a hazy cheery red color from a corked and capped 33cl bottle. Medium sized, quickly diminishing white foamy head. Aroma is sour cherries, tart and sweet cherries, there might also be a touch of malt in there as well. A medium bodied fruit lambic. Lots and lots of cherry flavor. Mostly sweet with a hint of tartness. There is a touch of malt and perhaps a little funk somewhere, but this one is mostly sweet cherries. Kind of uneven tasting, but at least its better than the pineapple. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

hotstuff (3213) - Indiana, USA - JUL 8, 2007
Corked bottle. Pink small head that was mostly lasting, minimal lacing, transparent, deep red hue, and visible carbonation, Nose was tart, sweet, sour and cherries. Ditto for the flavor. Tingly mouthfeel and light body. Too sweet and tart for my liking.

faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - JUN 22, 2007
Small bottle. Cloudy deep red colour, no head. Strong sweet flavour of cherries with some sourness. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet and quite a bit sour with cherries. Sweet bit sour cherry finish. Great and refreshing lambiek!

SudsMcDuff (3213) - .....Manchester United.........., Texas, USA - JUN 21, 2007
Pours a dark purplish ruby colour...has some low low lacing...headring is constant....smell is of cherries and sweetness?....taste is nice and sweet, cherry taste is quite nice with a hint of bitterness....a good call but $5 makes this a ’every now and again beer’.. maybe overly sweet for some!

Very, very cherry. Like their banana lambic, only with a different fruit. Heavy on the sweetness, light on the lambic.
