Boerenerf Boerenerf Zomerkriek 2024
Gueuze 0 º
This complex blend from Boerenerf captures the essence of a traditional Gueuze enhanced by the vibrant additions of summer cherries and farmhouse cider. The sensory profile is defined by a sophisticated interplay of sharp lactic acidity and a deeply layered wild funk, offering evocative notes of horse blanket, hay, and aged leather. The inclusion of cherries provides a bright, tart fruitiness, while the cider blend introduces crisp pome fruit characteristics and a hint of apple tannin. Bone-dry and highly effervescent, the palate balances the puckering sourness with a subtle, bready wheat malt backbone, culminating in a clean, lingering finish that celebrates Belgian spontaneous fermentation.
Appearance. Deep golden with distinct ruby-pink highlights; brilliant clarity. Features a tall, mousse-like white head with pinkish tints that shows exceptional persistence and dense lacing.
Aroma. High intensity of lactic sourness and complex barnyard funk, including leather, horse blanket, and earthy hay. Pronounced tart cherry fruitiness is layered with crisp apple and pome fruit esters. Low bready wheat malt provides a supportive base; no hop aroma or diacetyl present.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply acidic and fruity. Dominant flavors of sour cherry and tart apple cider are balanced by a low, grainy wheat malt character. Complex wild fermentation notes of leather and hay are prominent. Bitterness is nearly absent, as the tartness provides the structural balance. Finishes bone-dry and crisp with a lingering, puckering fruit aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a puckering, tart quality. Highly carbonated and effervescent with a lively mouth-cleansing scrub. No alcohol warmth is perceived. Lacks significant astringency despite the fruit-skin presence.

Zomerkriek from Het Boerenerf is a seasonal lambic-based fruit beer crafted with organic sour cherries and about 35% fresh cider. The cherries are macerated in lambic for several months, with the blend continuing to age in oak barrels before a final pre-bottling mix with cider.
The pour is a deep ruby-red, reflecting its cherry-forward character. Aromas and flavors include ripe tart cherry, apple, wood, mild barnyard funk, and soft acidity. The palate is lively and tart, with fruit intensity balanced by cider freshness and a touch of oak-derived tannin . Minimize sweetness — this is a more restrained, refreshing take on kriek.
People describe it as vibrant, textural, and palate-cleansing — praise for its balance between fruity and sour elements . It’s unfiltered, non-pasteurized, and fully farm-brewed, with spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels before bottling at the farm.
Best served cool in a tulip glass, it makes a lovely aperitif or pairs well with light cheese, seafood, charcuterie, and summer fruit desserts. A short bottle-age can further harmonize funk, fruit, and acidity, but it’s also ready to drink fresh.
