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.

I didn’t note an overwhelming sweetness, so I guess this is the right place for this rating. This $5.79 bottled brew from a bottle shop in South Bend, IN poured a head of foamy pink hued medium sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy with fine particulate pink hued colored body and a poor lacing. The strong aroma was cherry. The dry mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The smooth flavor contained notes of cherry. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Not quite what I was expecting from a cherry lambic. The taste of tart cherries is here, but there was another flavor. That I could describes as unshelled Walnuts which doesn’t really go well with this. There are better ones out there.

The aroma has cherries, nuts, sugar, and chemicals. The appearance is red with a thin head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it stinks.

This fruit lambic pours a hazy cheery red color from a corked and capped 33cl bottle. Medium sized, quickly diminishing white foamy head. Aroma is sour cherries, tart and sweet cherries, there might also be a touch of malt in there as well. A medium bodied fruit lambic. Lots and lots of cherry flavor. Mostly sweet with a hint of tartness. There is a touch of malt and perhaps a little funk somewhere, but this one is mostly sweet cherries. Kind of uneven tasting, but at least its better than the pineapple. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Corked bottle. Pink small head that was mostly lasting, minimal lacing, transparent, deep red hue, and visible carbonation, Nose was tart, sweet, sour and cherries. Ditto for the flavor. Tingly mouthfeel and light body. Too sweet and tart for my liking.

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!
