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.

Cloudy, browish red-purple with a strawberry merangue topping. Sour cherry pervades the aroma with fruity and woody notes: grape, green apple, earthy beets, medicine. Flavour is very sweet, but not sticky and cloying. Sweet and sour cherry up front that leaves patchy/tingly sweet spots inside my mouth. Cherry gives way to malt characteristics and a sweet, clean finish. Light body and not enough carbonation. So far, I think this is the best kriek I’ve had.

Bottle Feb 99 drank on Jan 05: Red in color with a spare,rocky,white head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is of a heavy musty character with light alcohol and cherries. The palate is light and thin with a soft carbonation. Flavor is lightly sweet, with a moderate acidity and finishes astringent. Amazing that this beer held up for six years even with it’s low alcohol content.

ZBF 2005. Pours cloudy red. Aroma is . . . Absurd. Like candy, bad candy at that. As to taste. Don’t go there. Try the bad candy instead. Aftertaste is unfortunatly long, and gives way to an unpleasant metalic taste

As with the Mirabelle, I’m surprised at the low ranking. This wasn’t bad. Poured a cherrywood color with a small pinkish head. The nose was decidedly tart cherry. Perhaps thin and watery with lively carbonation. The flavor was sour/tart cherries.

Deep and hazy red color with small kriek head. Sweet and sour cherry aroma, which is mixed with other berries and alcohol. Quite sweet, only slightly sour cherry flavor. Watery body makes this fresh and very easy to drink.
