Faro Boon

Brewery: Brouwerij Boon
Supplier: Beers of Europe

Wrote this a while back but forgot to post it. Designed as a lighter more sessionable lambic, they describe this as based on old lambic to which they added spices and sugar candy.
Appearance: Golden with and amber hue. There is a thin white head that lasts only for a few seconds.
Aroma: A mix of white wine, sherry, and vinegar, there are also some fruit notes.
Flavour: Sweet and sugery on the front with some apple-like sour notes
Body: A little syrupy but quite thin and refreshing.
Aftertaste: Very subtle, tasting like apple sour sweets.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, nice but nothing special, and not what I was expecting from a sour.

Price Range: £1.39 for a 250ml bottle, good price for an OK beer, but there are better ones for the same price.

Food Pairings: A bready sweet dish, like plain waffles.
