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.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - JUN 17, 2009
Bottle, WSF. Deep dark garnet color with scant head, not flat. Dark fruity aroma of prune, other dark, dried fruits, berries, and lots of sugar. Nice palate. Lots of lingering sugars. Very sweet and dessert-like but not in a bad way. Has some wood, and loads of loads, layers and layers of sweet fruit-flavored candy. Not exactly a sophisticated beer but is fun.

Case (90) - GERMANY - MAR 11, 2009
Pours a dark reddish brown body with only a minimal head that immediately disappears. Aroma is funky and sweet. Taste is very sweet, almost too much since it starts to mask the funky lambic flavors. Well carbonated, easy to drink and only a slight hint of sourness. Sweetness level here is similar to Lindemans Faro.
