Vinny Fardin

Oude Geuze Boon à L'Ancienne VAT 91 Mono Blend (2016) Fardin

Love the VAT series. Incredilble how this foeder produces such an elegant, sophisticated and understated geuze. An absolute pleasure to drink. Mellow, with semi sweet peach and honey flavors. Smooth and subtle.

Organic Hazy IPA Fardin

It does the job. Very grassy, piney, white fruit. Moderate bitterness. No fireworks. Just an ok brew.

Oude Geuze Boon (2018-2019) Fardin

Great carbonation. Bubbles carrying aroma and flavors all over the gaff. Mellow, fruity and a bit herbal and minty.

Burst Fardin

Its name does it justice. It is bursting with aromas and flavors. Piney, soft raspberry chewing gum nose. Abundant fruit and orange peel bitterness.

Underground Mountain Brown (2019) Fardin

Nice toasted oak and tobacco aroma when it warms up. Boozy, rich and deep flavors. Acidic coffee, vanilla, chocolate and chewy malt backbone.

Faro Boon (2020) Fardin

Dessert Lambic? Sweet, mellow. Brown sugar, medicinal-like herbaceous and spices.

HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend (2019) Fardin

This vintage is sweeter than the older ones. Very mellow. Fruit character quite strong. Still a delight to drink.

Framboise Boon (2018) Fardin

Great flavors. Fresh raspberries, a bit yoghurty and lovely depth. Mellow tartness, thirst quencher.

Santa's Hoppy Helpers Fardin

Very competent. Abundant creamy carbonation. Cloud soft. Super piney, weedy and grassy, fruit on the background. A touch of mint and eucalyptus at the finish. Nice.

Oude Geuze Boon Black Label Edition N°4 Fardin

Super dry and crispy job. Citrus, green apples and the aul barnyardy character. A touch of green and mint.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2015) Fardin

Now that's just gorgeous. Mellow and great depth of flavor. Oaky, earthy, barnyardy, apple and citrus hit.

Oude Geuze Boon à L'Ancienne - VAT 109 Mono Blend (2016) Fardin

Super crispy and fresh. Demi sweet. Citrus and yeasty. Elegant and mellow.

12" Winale Fardin

Brewed with Champagne yeast. Super carbonated spritzy job. Superb dialogue between sourness and spicy, grainy and fruity yeast character.

Oude Geuze Boon Black Label Edition N°2 Fardin

Apologies for the phallic picture. Highly carbonated, crispy, refreshing. Mellow, bone dry, mineral, apple heavy and intense. Great citrus wallop. Lovely depth.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2020) Fardin

Young and restless. Lively and vibrant. This is pure sharp agression, will probably take a few years to mellow. It pries your tasted buds wide open and leaves no survivors. Mega sharp, woody, barnyardy, green apples. Violent like the sunrise.

Oude Geuze A L'Ancienne VAT 108bis Mono Blend (2018) Fardin

Ah serenity now. Geuze in near perfect balance between tartness & mellowness. Fresh oak, barnyard aromas. Apple and a subtle whiff of melon. A lovely leathery and earthy touch as it warms up. Great depth of flavor mirroring the nose. Fulfilling kindness.

Más Agave (2019) Fardin

This is a beer twist on Tequila. Oaky and boozy from the barrel ageing. Engrossing lovely creamy texture. Tangy and zesty mix on the aroma and flavors. Syrup sweetness (agave). Tequila rich. Mellow tartness. Interesting but not a volume drinking beer.

HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend (2017) Fardin

Annual mega blend with the 9 biggest Geuzeries in Belgium. Abundant carbonation, crispy and refreshing. Barnyardy, oaky, floral, minty and a touch grassy. Bone dry and not too sharp tartness.

Oude Geuze Goût Américain Fardin

Geuze for the "american taste", according to Boon. Meaning stronger acetic acid hit. To each their own. Is it indeed quite a sharp and agressive geuze but not without qualities. Superb carbonation, barnyardy, oaky, tree sap, green apples, citrus and mint.

Kriek Boon (2018) Fardin

A good year. Nice smooth super cherry and red berry hit. Not very tart but sweet and mellow.

Pilsner Fardin

This is no pils. More like an IPL. Aromatic hoppy nose with floral, citrus nose. Sweet fruity flavors and bold bitterness. Easy and crushable but it ain't no Pilsner man.

Black Bear Fardin

Hammer to the head. Black blood pour and creamy carbonation. Roasted, a touch smoky nose, nutty, dark fruits. There's a buttery touch as well. Smooth velvety tannins. Sweet, choc and coffee combo, dates, candied fruit flavors. Muscular bitterness.
