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.

25cl ambrée, col blanc fin Arôme sucre candi, grains, malt caramélise En bouche, ressent de suite ce profile sucre candi et lambic laissant un fin aigre-doux ayant une part belle pour le sucre. Pas mauvaise, mais reste en dessous d’une Tilquin ou Cantillon qui je pense laisse le lambic plus en avant sans pour cela sucrer le tout. Garde un profile lambic en retrait avec une touche houblonnée rajoutant une pointe d’amertume, reste un peu trop douce.

Bottle @ Too many Geuze’s - only one toilet , Ulfborg 2012 - Day 1. Jan brought it to show the differnce of a sweet faro to the bottle we had before (Cam Oude Faro). Dark amber color with a tiny head. Aroma and flavour of caramel, brown sugar, malt, honey. A very faint tartness. Cloying sweet and I had trouble finishing my glass.

25 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 04.02.2012
Aroma feels like a german lager with brown sugar added. Flavour is kind of fresh but still contains loads of brown sugar. Rather thick and sticky for 4% ABV. Way too sweet, but then again isn’t a faro supposed to be?

25cl bottle, BBE 07/2012. Poured light brown with a steady, lasting dirty white head. Aroma is vinegar and berries, slight sourness. Flavor has serious amount of sugar, with some light sourness and berries. Quite dry, Aroma ok, but the sugar was too much.
