Faro Boon is a beer of spontaneous fermentation for which “meertsbier” and old Lambic are blended together. The light brown colour and sour-sweet taste are attained by adding candy sugar before bottling.

02-11-16 // tap at Le Bier Circus, Brussels. Hazy orange beer, with a solid white head. Smells like applejuice with alcohol. Taste is sweet and a little sour. Candy sugar for sure. Apple sweetness. Not my style.

(Bottle, 0.375 l, at Stadin Panimobaari, 20161013) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sugary sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, malts and low bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A pointless sweet brew.

Bottle thanks to Joe. Pours hazy amber, small off-white head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is candi sugar, apple, light funk. Flavor is medium plus sweet, very light funk on the tongue, candi sugar, apples. Medium body, low carbonation. Not terrible.

At Maakun’s. A bottle pours a dark golden brew with little white head that smells of petting zoo animal poo. Funky funky business. Taste of gumball and concentrated pils syrup, weird doughy flavor of unfermented beer, bit like leaves. Strange herbs. Between sweet and sour. Body medium, fizzy gaz. OK but weird. The masterblend is feeling lucky.
