Boon Faro

Brewed by Brouwerij F. Boon
Style: Lambic - Faro
Lembeek, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Bottle 25 cl. Pours a clear browl like a Newcastle Brown ale-type of thing. The head is slightly tanned an thick. The nose is freshly sour with acidic citric notes and some troplical fruits and vinegar. The taste is overwhelming sweet - maybe I was caught ne surprise that I had poured a Faro? Its pretty malty with notable hints of sugar. The sourness is almost gone and is almost walking a path leading to the flamish sour ales. The finish is sweet with a sparkling mouthfeel. Not the best faro I’ve had...

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.

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.

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

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.
