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.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - NOV 15, 2007
Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin disappearing beige head. The aroma is acidic sweet with strong notes of berries as well as light notes of wood and metal. The flavor is rather acidic, combined with an artificial sweetener - making it rather sweet, leading to a dry acidic woody finish. I don’t like the note of artificial sweetener.

25 cL bottle. Pours cola brown with a fizzy off-white head. Roasted malty and cane sugarish aroma. Fizzy mouthfeel. Sweet and slight acidic flavour, quite sweet actually. Has a decent acidic note. Ends with a sweet, slight woody and brown sugarish. Nice.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 13, 2011
Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Clear nut brown, minimal head. Citric barnyard aroma with caramel behind. Some citric acidity counetracts crystalized sugar sweetness, rounded mouthfeel. In a way the crystalized sugar enhances the gueuze flavour, the drawback is reduced drinkability and takeover of caramel/sugar flavours. Still this breaths authenticity and remains refreshing.

KimJohansen (10337) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - DEC 16, 2007
Clear dark amber with no head. Aroma is sweet and sour with hints of berries and wood. Pretty well balanced sweetness in the flavor with sour lambic notes in the background. Cheese and wood there as well.
