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.

Geiserich (2277) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - 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.

Lilith (242) - Santiago, CHILE - 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.

Panzerfaust (462) - Hanga Roa, Easter Island, CHILE - MAR 20, 2006
UPDATED: NOV 17, 2006 Pours 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.

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - 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.

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.

RooftopRogue (423) - Champaign, Illinois, USA - 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.

Styles (2014) - Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA - JAN 22, 2006
Best before date isn’t notched on this bottle. Transparent dirty orange color with no head, a few carbonation bubbles and that’s it. Aroma and flavor both have a candied cherry character to them with musty farmhouse funk taking over in the finish. Long cork/wood aftertaste.
