This fruit bomb will make even the hoppiest IPAs green with envy!
A whole host of delicious beers and beer styles come from Belgium. The craft beer movement has given exceptional beer styles an additional stage and drawn international attention to the small country. Beer lovers from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Belgium to taste the special, aromatic beers there. One of these special beers is Kriek. Kriek is one of the Belgian lambic beers and is a fruit beer.
The Belgian brewery Boon specializes in the preparation of Kriek and produces fruit beers that are enjoyed all over the world. Typically, the Kriek is spontaneously fermented according to old recipes. Fresh cherries were also brewed for Kriek Boon. This extra ingredient gives the beer the fresh fruitiness of cherry juice.
Kriek Boon flows into the glass in a deep red cherry tone and forms a small, pink head of foam. A stunning aroma of freshly harvested, fully ripe cherries rises from the delicately toned fluff, which immediately brings to mind images of summer in the country with lush cherry trees, blazing hot days and roaring campfires in the evening.
The cherry fireworks are accompanied by a hint of vanilla and the aroma of roasted almonds. The initial taste reveals a lively, light-footed body with lively carbon dioxide. In terms of taste, Kriek Boon impresses with an indescribably cherry potpourri: cherry juice meets cherry jam and candied cherries. A subtle marzipan note complements the cherry explosion exquisitely.
If you like cherries, you will love this beer!
