12 oz bottle...poured a garnet red w/ a very, very small pink head that left no lacing. Nose was quite pleasant and consisted of dark cherries, and some florals. The flavor was somewhat sweet cherry, white grapes, sour apples, and a tiny bit of vanilla oak. The palate was somewhat oily, light bodied, with a strong acidic "zing" near the back. Very enjoyable beer and one that my wife actually liked!

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.
