COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Kriek Boon is a traditional Belgian Lambic fruit-beer. It is brewed according to the traditional Lambic style of spontaneous fermentation. Only fresh cherries (25%) are used. Kriek Boon is slightly sweet, with the surprising natural fragrance of sourcherries and almonds. With only 4% of alcohol it is a perfect summer beer.

Pours hazy red with light pink head. Aroma of cherries, red grapes, red currant. Taste is sweet with only light sour. A bit too sweet. Light body with soft carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

At Churchkey - draft. Poured a vibrant dark red color, wispy head on this one. Aroma is slightly tart cherries - a bit medicinal unfortunately. Flavor was slightly sour cherry notes, slight sweetness, touch of puckering notes - but very drinkable.

paintedmaple (211) - Fenton, Michigan, USA - MAY 19, 2013
Beautiful red liquid that has the flavor of sweet/tart cherries and a nice crisp dry finish. A brew that (at least should be) widely appreciated. Well done.

Uma cerveja pra mulher, mas pra homem de bom gosto também, deliciosa, frutada, leve, carbonatação agradável, combina demais com sobremesas, presentear sua esposa com uma dessas é "tiro certo" !

TyggaBrown (256) - NORWAY - MAY 14, 2013
2012. 4%. Matkroken, Landås, Bergen. To people who don’t know much about fruit beer or lambics or "freaky" beers, this one is hardly recognizable. "Is this soda?" I really liked this one. Not to acidic or sharp, which I like. Hints of bitterness, which I ALSO like. Perfect with my dessert (berries, ice cream).

mcberko (4065) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 12, 2013
On tap at Centrum Hotel in Beersel, pours a hazy pinkish bright red with a small pink head. Aroma of pure cherries, with a bit of artificial flavour, not mcb sourness or anything else. Flavour brings out loads of cherries, with a touch of artificiality. Quite sweet for a true lambic, with not much sourness. Not very complex but quite drinkable. Decent, but the Mariage Parfait is loads better.

Bottiglia 37.5cl Amaranto, schiuma rosa piuttosto persistente. Troppo dolce, poco acida, amarena discreta... C’è di meglio!

nuplastikk (3286) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 1, 2013
750 corked and caged bottle. On the sweeter side of Lambics, medium bodied, mellow. Some mild distant barnyard, sticky finish. Think Rodenbach, Flanders Red, New Glarus Belgian Red. A great, refreshing beverage. A nice, mild, easy drinking fruit beer. The cherry is pretty pronounced, but it lacks the sour kick of other traditonal Lambics.
