Comes to the table with a clear dark copper color and a small head. Aroma is surprisingly sour with citric lemon and tart berries. There is definitely a large lambic presence here. And there is only a light sweetness which is presented behind the lambic and the sweetness works well in that place. Taste is mildly sour and lightly acidic lambic with dark tart berry sweetness. Very easy drinking drinking and dries out at the end a bit. At this point this was the last faro I have drank it is definitely the best, better than Cantillon and its surprising from this brewery. This truly had the least amount of sweetener.
Tap @ La Mort Subite, Mort Subite short snifter/goblet on 5/18/08.

Draught at Mort Subite, Brusels. My first faro. Light brown color and low carbonation with almost no head. Aroma is lightly sour. Flavor is sweet champagne with a sour lambic finish. Like nothing I have had before and very nice and refreshing.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 June) Well, a faro from Mort Subite? Doesn’t come with high expectations, does it? Colour is dark, mahogany with ruby notes. Nose is fruity with cherries and wild berries, sweet but balanced, even with some chocolate notes. Taste is fruity with caramel and brown sugar. Surprisingly complex and well balanced. Actually a lot better than expected.

Bright amber colour. Aroma as expected - horseblanket and sugar. Palate is quite tart, with hints of caramel. Brilliant balance as the sugar cuts through the lambic notes (as opposed to their regular Gueuze, which is vice versa). Awesome faro, which the sarcastic might say stems from Keersmaeker’s extensive experience at adding sugar to lambic.
