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.

djd07 (1407) - Houston, Texas, USA - JUL 10, 2011
Sampled at Texas Beerfest. Pours a red pink with a large creamy light pink head that leaves good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is cherry and tart. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet cherry and crisp finish. Easy to drink, a good fruit beer.

From bottle @ Brouwerij De Troch. Pink-shaded blond top. Clear ruby colored body. Red fruit bon bon aroma. Taste is sweet cherries with a note of almonds. Some astringent herbal notes. Sticky in the mouth Fullness from the sugars. Sweet juicy cherry ending. Not a favorite.

larsga (4435) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAY 29, 2011
Small pink head. Deep red body. Faint yoghurty strawberry aroma. Dry-sweet perfumy cherry taste with syrupy notes. Fullish body. Light, mild mouthfeel with faint sharpness. Dryish floral cherry aftertaste with syrup notes. Drinkable, but not much more. (0.33l bottle at the brewery.)

Metalchopz (1173) - Quebec, CANADA - MAY 25, 2011
Originally rated October 2008. Purchase at the LCBO as a seasonal product. Best before date written on back label: 06/02/10. Pours a red-purple colour with a huge pink soapy head. Good retention and a bit of lacing. The carbonation is composed of big bubbles. Smells like those cherry lollipops. Wow ! Taste is quite sour, but finishes pretty fast with hardly any aftertaste. A sweet cherry flavour is in the background. A decent light Kriek, for those who like it on the syrupy-juicy side, and not tarty.

JWE (208) - Aarhus, DENMARK - MAY 8, 2011
Bottle. Red and hazy with small disappearing head that looks like soap. Aroma is like cherry bubblegum with some vanilla and cough syrup. Taste is like a mixture of children’s vitamins and chewing gum. A lot of cherry flavour, sour, unbalanced and watery.

Travlr (4540) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - MAY 2, 2011
Bottle. Hazy reddish purple coor, medium pink head. Aroma of sour cherries. Taste is similar, with a bit of citrus. OK.
