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.

Dodgy blood-like colour. Very artificial cherry aroma. Cloyingly sweet, dessertwine-like flavour.

Soda like pour, with a pink head which dissipates immediately. Deep opaque ruby hue. Artificial cherry nose, with a strange funk. Creamy, sweet syrupy body. Faint funky sourness. All black cherry, artificial and overly sweet. Faint oaky woody funk. Not much else. Put this over ice cream or in a beer cocktail, but dont drink it straight...I wont ever again. Interesting and slightly fun.

Earthy, musty, corked aroma is lightly medicinal with sour cherries and green apples. Reddish-brown, grape juice-like coloured body with decent dark pink head that lasts nicely and laces well. Very sweet cherry, berry flavour has strong earthy tones. Malt flavours emerge towards the finish. Sticky texture, medium body and very low carbonation. Bottle sampled with asheft and Pitpit.

Cloudy, browish red-purple with a strawberry merangue topping. Sour cherry pervades the aroma with fruity and woody notes: grape, green apple, earthy beets, medicine. Flavour is very sweet, but not sticky and cloying. Sweet and sour cherry up front that leaves patchy/tingly sweet spots inside my mouth. Cherry gives way to malt characteristics and a sweet, clean finish. Light body and not enough carbonation. So far, I think this is the best kriek I’ve had.

Bottle Feb 99 drank on Jan 05: Red in color with a spare,rocky,white head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is of a heavy musty character with light alcohol and cherries. The palate is light and thin with a soft carbonation. Flavor is lightly sweet, with a moderate acidity and finishes astringent. Amazing that this beer held up for six years even with it’s low alcohol content.

Zythos Beer Festival, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium 2005. Dark red colour with a small pink head. Heavy artificial cherry aroma and taste. Light body and a long sweet finish.

ZBF 2005. Pours cloudy red. Aroma is . . . Absurd. Like candy, bad candy at that. As to taste. Don’t go there. Try the bad candy instead. Aftertaste is unfortunatly long, and gives way to an unpleasant metalic taste
