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.

Dedollewaitor (10292) - Odense, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2008
Bottle at Aarhus beerfestival: Pours muddy brown with a red hew & nearly no head. Aroma is very sweet & sugary - cherry mainly - close to cloying. Body is medium - close to thin. One dimensional & doesnt really feel like an orig lambic!

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 16, 2001
Sweet, creamy. Uninspired. Also, the cork was all buggered up and it took about a half hour just to get the damn thing open.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - MAR 19, 2009
Sampled at Zythos 2009. Haze, deep red, very pink head. Stupid kiddie sweet aroma. Really just a sweet alcopop, but not unlikeable.

TBone (9414) - Pori, FINLAND - FEB 5, 2005
Bottled (BB 10/2005)
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.

yngwie (9188) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAY 12, 2009
Bottle. A hazy, candy red beer with a pink head of small size. Almond, cherries and hints of lambic in the aroma. The flavor is pretty much the same, with the almond and cherry doing too much of the job. Sweet and sour, slightly astringent mouthfeel. The finish is like sour raspberry candy. A decent one, but too sweet to be quenching. These sweet krieks are not my thing. (090430)

faroeviking (8805) - HAITI - 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!

Bottle @ Aarhus 2008.
Pours muddy pale brownish red. No head. Aroma has lots of sweeet fruity winegums, okay (rather artificial) cherry. A bit hin and quite watery. Flavour is sweet, lots of wine gum character. Not my thing.
