Brewer: Brouwerij F. Boon (Lembeek, Belgium)
Beer: Kriek Boon
Style: Kriek Lambic
abv: 5%

Bottle from the store. Kriek is cherry, cherry is kriek.

Pours red with a huge pink head. Strong cherry aroma with some light vanilla coming through. Smells like one of those cherry cream candies. The flavor starts sweet and then turns tart and a little funky on the back of the tongue. Dry, tart cherry aftertaste, with some of the funk lingering. Between Lindeman's and Oud Beersel on the sweet to tart/funky scale.

Rating: 3.6 out of 5
