Clouded crimson red with a small pinkish head. Fresh cherries, cherry jam, funk, distant barnyard. Light to medium sweet, medium sour. Pretty simple. Pretty tasty. Perhaps the best pop kriek I’ve tried.

Another`socaled lambic from Chapeau. Deep red pour, very small pink head. Aroma is all cherries, its alsmot artificial, like cough syrup, with a slight tiny touch of lambic funk. The flavour is surprsingly decent. I was expecting a super sweet, cloying cherry mess, like most of the other chapeau beers ive had, but wow, this isnt bad. A nice cherry flavour that isnt sloying, or too artificial, and its actually a little sour too, its leaving a nice sourness in the back of my throat, this is actually enjoyable!

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a murky purple with brief pink head and minor retention. Aroma of sweet slightly funky cherries and wood. Taste starts off with sweet and sour cherries but then leads to a stale oxidisation - some sips are more noticeable than others and its not the dominate flavour but is very distracting. Slick syrup noted mouthfeel. Not great.

Poured from 375mL bottle (dated 18/9/21). Murky brownish red with small white head. Woody, dried dark cherry, mild tartness, artificial sweetness, has some oxidation going on. Needs improvement.

Het is een troebel roodachtig spul. Het aroma en de smaak zijn kunstmatig kersen en erg zoet. Limonade.

Strong cherry aroma, almonds. Very sweet and a bit sour cherry taste with a hint of vanilla. Too sweet for me, but still a decent beer. (7 4 7 4 13 = 3.5) 375 ml bottle. Not filtered. Corked bottle, bought 8/08 in Belgium. Red color, but totally cloudy. Cherry, marzipan and plums in the aroma. A solid sourness next to the sugary marzipan and cherry sweetness in the flavor. Sticky, but also a lemony cherry aftertaste, with mouthpuckering tartness lingering on. Loved this one.
