Fra fat på A la Mort Subite juli-13: rett rundt hjørnet fra hotellet, for en start på Belgiaoppholdet! Fruktig, lys og lett med en behagelig sødme. Perfekt i 28 varmegrader, og vi er klar for å utforske byens mange særpregede ølsteder.

Tap @ A La Mort Subite. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are sugar, malt, hops and just a little sour. Nice and refreshing.

Got this on tap at Mort Subite with sebletitje. It pours up with a clear deep copper body that supports a full lasting white head of foam that has slight pinkish hues. The aroma offers up mild yet inviting soured notes and yeastiness that quickly gets pushed aside by apple juice sweetness and ripe red apple wedges. The taste, boy they serve this cold, delivers first a modest tart bite that seems a little tannin apple skin like. It then runs into apple sweetness and drying vague mild tartness. Overall this seems uninspired as compared to other Faros I’ve tried to date.

Draft @ A la Mort Subite. Cuivrée col moyen blanc. Arôme présente bouquet léger sucré le tout suivi par une sorte de pomme caramélisée et un très faible côté du lambic. Palais est ici aussi une sorte d’hybride entre un cidre et le lambic avec ce côté tannin pomme et jus de pomme trop présent. Le tout est sec, avec une fine note de sucre brun pour un palais restant moyennement aigre-doux. Franchement rien à voir avec un Faro venant de Cantillon ou Tilquin.

Like almost everyone else who has reviewed this beer, I had it at the Mort Subite in Brussels. I’ve drank it there on previous occasions but never reviewed it before. This tasting was in Dec 2011. Sat near the entrance and ’people watched’ as I sipped this sweet and sour blend of a beer. The beer is a murky concoction of a red blonde/copper colour, the head biege. The smells are sugary with some tartness thrown in for good measure. The aroma leads you towards thinking the fermentation isn’t quiet over: the taste hints at this too. More sweet than sour, but an interesting mixture of flavours, especially if you have a sweet tooth like myself. Couldn’t drink more than one in a session but it is a pleasant change from the heavy alcohol laden brews I usually drink when in Belgium.

On tap at the brewery. It’s a clear, copper-colored beer wtih a finger-thick, light beige head. It’s rather sugary on the nose, with a touch of caramel and lemon juice. Dark sugars, some caramel, fruityness and a touch of acidity on the palate. Medium bodied and semi dry. Sugar, caramel, fruityness and acidity in the finish. Although a bit sweet, it’s a nice and refreshing beer. 110501
