Boon Oude Kriek

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

pours a cloudy ruby red with a nice two finger bubbly dark red head. aroma is sweet and tart cherries with oak, yeast, and a touch of vanilla. has a light to medium body with ok lacing and good carbonation. flavor is mostly tart cherries with oak and a touch of yeast, vanilla, and sweet cherries. has a bit of a dry aftertaste but this could use some aging. all in all not bad of a pure cherry lambic.

Great pink head. Lively palate. Very flavorful and zingy from start to finish. Quenchy cherries (but not too much), zippy vinegar, pinch of fruity sweetness and wood. Wonderful levels of tartness and sourness. I really enjoyed this one.

12.7oz, Best by 22.__.12 (couldn’t read the date). Clear burgundy with a one finger pink fizzy head, fading to a ring very quickly. Wow, this smells exactly like something, but I can’t place it at all. Unmistakable aroma of fresh cherries--more specifically, the pit and flesh--with some funky sourness in the background. There is also a bit of leather. Flavor changes slightly with the same type of cherries (the dark ones you find in produce at the grocery store, I dunno the variety) though a little less sweet with tons of tartness and acidity. Bone dry woody finish. Highly carbonated with a light to medium body. Definitely one of the better (and sour) fruit lambics I’ve had.

Finally can taste some sourness, thought I couldn’t pick it up anymore. Red body with little head, Get a lot of oak in the nose and the taste is quite tart , dry and a lot of cherries.

Bottle. Red hazy colour with a little head. Aroma of oak, sourness and acidity. Flavour of oak, cherries and sour/acid.

Deep red beer with meidum pink head. Sour aroma with sweet cherries to balance it. Sour woody flavor with somewhat unatural cherries and typical brett notes. Finishes dry and lacks complexity.

My first REAL lambic. Pours a blood red color that is clean and has some sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Head is fizzy and pink. Smells of cherries and some barnyard funk. Taste is funky sour, sweet, and of cherries and wheat. Personally I have not yet acclumated my palate with the taste of wild yeast but I can still tell this is a quality brew.

Pours a hazy ruby hue witha small pink/white head. Nose of sour cherry, yeast, champaign and mild other red fruits. Initial taste of fizzy tart cherry which dominates the palate leaving this very one dimensional. Mild tartness on the sides of the mouth. Finish fades quickly with chalky dry finish. Medium body. Enjoyable but looking for more out of this one. $7.99 a bottle.
