Boon Kriek

Boon Kriek is the beer that feels like a conversation, not a project. The cherry is soft and a little tart, but never aggressive—it's almost perfumy, like someone dropped a handful of dark cherries into something dry and funky. At 4% ABV you forget you're drinking alcohol at all. The funk from the lambic base is there if you listen for it, a gentle mustiness underneath, but it never overwhelms. This is the beer that's still sitting in your hand twenty minutes later because it didn't demand to be finished.

Hydra

Hydra hits different. It's got this sharp, almost prickly tartness that spreads across your tongue—way more aggressive than Kriek, and the fruit feels almost candied in comparison, like someone concentrated the flavor and then carbonated it harder. At 7% ABV you *know* you're drinking something with substance. The sourness doesn't feel historical or delicate; it feels deliberate, modern, designed to make you react. Each sip is distinct; you're not settling into it, you're discovering it.
