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.

Cough syrup/oak/candy sugar/and a little carbonation to save the day. Not bad but nothing I’d seek out again.

A Mes rate. Draught at ZBF.
Amazing candy apple red colour with a good orange pink head. Cheap kriek syrup aroma. The flavour is a lot better. Yes it’s still cheap candy and syrup but the flavours are actually quite decent. That’s all I can say though. It’s a kriek, a crap one, but it’s drinkable. I’m done.

red with pinkish head. Sweet aroma with artificial cherry notes. Cloying sweet flavor with artifical cherry and marzipan notes.

Bouteille de 250 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler.

Une biere de couleur ruby-rouge avec un mince collet moyennement collant. Odeur de cerises tres intense, alcohol, bonbon rouge et un peu les fraises. Gout sure de cerises.

Brick red muck. Compact pinkish head. Nose is dominated by paint and medicinal cherry aromatics. Touch of musty concrete. Softly carbonated. Soggy, heavily sweet frontal notes of cherries which is entirely one-dimensional. Flabby sweetness steadily climbs and the sparse acidity fails to allay the aggressiveness of it. No complexity, whatsoever. Finishes just as it started, only with the faintest note of iron swirled with a strawlike malt accent as the temperature rises. A “kriek lambic” eh? Back to the drawing board because this is borderline abominable.

Hazy red, pink-coloured head, little but lacey. Horrible smell of cabbage and bananaester. Sweet, artificial cherry smell. Puking sweet taste as of maraschino-cherries. Retronasal some aroma of almonds - a cherrykernel gone AWOL? Sticky mouthfeel, not even refreshing. Simply terrible - and to think he makes REAL kriek too!

Astonishingly, not 100% sweet. Sweet in the front, yes. Sweet in the end, yes. But--but!--a slight hint of tart sourness nestled somewhere in the middle. To be sure, it’s not much, but it’s there. Also less artificial-tasting in the fruit department than other de Troch beers.

Bottle, at beer festival. Red with little head, aroma and flavor of fruit and cherries. Nice.
