Nov 28, 2008 Burgandy redish pour. Little head. Looks pretty good. Odd scent. Kind of like tart Candy. Actually drinkable, which is more then I can say for any of the other Chapeau’s I have had. Still way too sweet and candy like. Not good but good for this brand.

Nov 19, 2008 The one thing I can’t get past in some fruit beers is a vinegar taste. The Chapeau Kriek had just too much of it. I couldn’t get more than a few sips down. I actually really enjoyed the cherry flavor and it wasn’t bad, but that little bit of vinegar in the back was enough that I couldn’t drink it. I’m sure this is pretty good for other people, but if that vinegar flavor turns you off, you might want to go elsewhere. There certainly isn’t a lot of it, though. Just enough... Sorry, Chapeau.

Oct 21, 2008 Aged (accidently) for 5 years. I didn’t knew I still had this bottle. Surprisingly enough it was still drinkable. Probably with the huge amount of sugar in this beer. But I’ve expected this to be rotten. Very sweet but a bit artificial flavor. (Bottle 25cl)

Oct 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours a murky reddish color, capped with a small pink head. Aroma is on the sweet side with primarily black cherry. The flavor is very nice initially, with black cherry, sour cherries, and sweet tarts candy. The sweetness builds after the initial sip, until it becomes almost unbearable. Spritzy carbonation. It would be very refreshing if it weren’t quite so sweet.

Sep 23, 2008 Bottle, served cellar temperature in tulip glass. Pours very red, dark pinkish with a pink/white head. The glass held in the aromas I imagine, which were quite strong, also a bit inviting, though one dimensional: smelled of candied sugar, cherry candy, but more fresh, less like cheap hallowe’en varieties. Flavours were similar to the aroma. I enjoyed this much more than the chilled bottle I opened a couple of months earlier.

Sep 22, 2008 250mL bottle from the LCBO (wtf? it’s 3.5% abv, why not just go insane and bottle in in larger quantities?) Why is it the LCBO feels the need to cram mass quantities of every inane ’lambic’ with a some crappy fruit flavour from this brewery down our throats, instead of at least bringing in something interesting like the Faro or the Gueze from this SAME F***ING BREWERY? Anyways, sorry for the rant, this one pours a deep red that basically looks like fruit juice. Smells actually okay, like nice cherry pie. Taste is, hmm, fascinating. Starts out overtly sweet and cherry like, but soon rounding itself out with some crazy sour tartness, but not really in a lambic sort of way, more in like a sour candy kind of way. It’s like a liquid gobstopper. Well, it’s not totally putrid. The ingredients list on the bottle is absolutely hilarious: beer, cherries, sugar, flavour. Hahaha. Good thing they put ’flavour’ in, because otherwise it might have just tasted like beer, and like, shit, no one wants that, like get f***ing serious.
