COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Faro Boon is een bier van spontane gisting waarbij Meerts bier en Oude Lambiek gemengd worden. De lichtbruine kleur en zoetzure smaak worden bekomen door toevoeging van kandijsuiker voor het bottelen. A beer of spontaneous fermentation, made by the blending of ’Meerts’ beer and old Lambics. The light-brown colour, as well as the sweet-sour character, are due to the addition of candisyrup before bottling.

A fruity average Faro with a slight acidity who wraps itself in a generous mantle of candy. Lactic notes with sweet applee, as little maderized.

Nightfall (1231) - Hamburg, GERMANY - FEB 3, 2012
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.

ElDesmadre (378) - Mikołów, POLAND - NOV 29, 2011
Bottle. Light brown with a quickly dissipating head. Aroma is white wine, vinegar, candy sugar, some flowery and herbal elements, butterscotch, grain, horse blanket and some metal. Taste is quite watery, sweet and not sour enough, with a dryish finish that carries a light bitterness that makes this beer come across a bit lagerish. Unbalanced, confusing faro.

For all the faro you can get in bottles, this is still wan of the better one’s. It’s not oversweet. But, i would considerate a amzaing beer. But nice to just try. It’s medium body, easy to drink, the dark brown sucre is there we’re you get this caramel flavor from it.A bit bready texture

maeib (6398) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - OCT 26, 2011
Bottled. A tan coloured beer with a small whitish head. Banana and caramel in the nose like a sticky toffee lollipop. Sweet and sugary in the mouth but with some bittering hop. Less odd than most faros but still an acquired taste.
