I found it to be much better than the Lindemans offerings that tend to be the most prevalent in shops around here. The nose was tart, acidic, winey, sour, and wild-yeasty; "Medicinal, like the dentist’s office, yet not totally unpleasant." However, it doesn’t especially taste acidic even though the nose would have you think it would. It tastes, basically, like you’re sucking on cherry pits. Pairs quite well with pistachios and hazelnuts.

Clear ruby with a fluffy pink head. Very fresh, almost ’in your face’ cherry aroma, which makes it a touch one-dimensional... leaving only a tiny bit of musk and tartness to enjoy. Simple body and flavour (for a lambic) lightly tart, pretty fruity, but less so than the aroma... pretty dry and vineous. Very good without being anything outstanding

37.5 cl bottle at Oude Arsenaal. BB 08/2026. Crystal clear, bright ruby red with a thick creamy pink head that actually sticks around. Bright fruity aroma, lots of sweet cherry and cherry skin tannins. Much less citrus and acid that other krieks, but it still has an authentic dustiness. Herbal character and a touch of black currant fruitiness. Soft lactic sourness that just cuts through the inherent fruity sweetness. Quite rich tasting with a good balance of soft fruit, dusty yeast and mild lactic tartness. Soft finish. Another great brew.

Bottle at Oud Arsenaal, vintage 2003. A flimsy and lackluster representation of the style. Rich, sweetened honey aroma. A hint of funk. Overcarbonated, lightly sour. Minerals, strawberry and raspberry, metals. A bit spongy, rocky. Blech.

Red colour, short pink head. Aroma has cherry, marsipan and some sourness. Cherry fruits in flavour. Lots of sourness and carbonation, but ends sweet. Nice.

Lovely color is inviting. Mild, dry, and fruit forward in nose and taste. But the Boon lambic is not sour enough for me.

bottled. rich red colour with a short-lived pink head. aroma of redskins, capers, cherry syrup, plenty of citric and random sourness, some cherry stone character. made my stomach rumble which is usually the sign of a potent lambic

WBF. Pours a pinkish brew with a pink head. The aroma is spicy, cherry, sweet, acidic, aged feel. Tastes sour and acidic, cherry bite, nice. Crisp carbonation.
