Boon Kriekenlambik

Brewed by Brouwerij F. Boon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Lembeek, Belgium

Cask at ZBF08 as Boon kriekenlambik met schaerbeekse krieken. Nicely sour cherry aroma, not as fat as some. Good sourness to aroma. Beautiful red colour, almost clear. Very small bubbly head. The flavour is nicely acidic, some cherry but owerpowered by the tartness, which is good of course.

ZBF 2008: Dark rich red with no head, just a few stray bubbles. Mouth watering aroma! A mix of every imaginable souring agent. Tart red berries, low black cherry, horseblanket, farmyard (specifically dung). Mouth puckering but not over the top. Quick flash of green herbs. Some cherry pit astringency. Long acidic and citric finish with a light splash of dark cherry juice.

From the barrel at ZBF 08. Hazy red/pink with hints of copper, lasting pink head. More funky farmyard than cherry on the aroma. Really quite funky. Real cowpats. Cherries do come through, but really just too funky for me. I know lots of other people really rated this highly, but i just didn’t get it.

ZBF 2008 on the Saturday This was on draught and labelled as Schaerbeek Kriekenlambic. Poured looking quite fabulous, lovely deep cherry red colour with a pink head that soon went. Some bile on the nose initially, but this soon fortunately gave way to nice sour cherries. This tasted funky funktastic (thanks to duff for reccomending) starts to really dry the mouth out after a few sips, great cherry bite and tang, good solid sourness, and that cherry bite snaps in again, liked this.

Draught at Zythos beer festival 2008. Clear deep ruby with some small pink bubbles. Cidery with green apples, grapefruit, and clear notes fo fresh cherries. Medium bodied, dry with a firm acidity.

Big fruit and reasonable sourness make for a very tasty and refreshing cherry lambic. Sampled at ZBF as Schaerbeek Kriekenlambic. Pours deep, dark, brick-red maroon, with just a few bubbles on top. Nose is a sack full of ripe, black cherries. A little nutty or woody. Smooth, mildly tart fruit flavor. Light acidity, lightly bitter finish, tart and fruity aftertaste. Delicious.

Hazy cherry red-pink coloured beer with no carbonation and a small head. Full woody aroma with a subtile fruity cherry aroma. Medium fruity palate. Finish is balanced, light sour fruity cherry. Nice!
