Backlog June 2009. Mahogany body under a thin beige head. Rather mild in aroma, caramel and some acidity. Taste is sweet and sour with ripe fruit and mild funk. Balanced in taste, fine body and decent aftertaste. Not outstanding in any way, but still a very nice made Faro.

Barwa ciemno bursztynowa, lekko zamglone, piana biała, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.

W aromacie lekka dzikość i lekkie nuty owocowe.

W smaku półsłodkie, nieznacznie kwaśne, dominuje słodycz cukrowa, nieznaczne owoce, nuty dzikie bardzo subtelne.

Wysycenie średnie, ciała nieco za dużo, przeciętna pijalność.

Nic specjalnego, za słodkie, nawet jak na faro.

Bottle from Beergium. Smells of lovely barnyard funk. Unfortunately, the aroma consists of malt, ripe apples, and plenty of candy sugar. Flavour is sugary sweet and a touch of sourness. Body is medium. Another Faro that doesn’t impress.

Аромат слегка сладкий, совсем легкая карамель, легкие нотки шампанского и белого вина. Цвет карамельный, средний по плотности, пена неплохая. Вкус очень питкий, нежный по текстуре и даже слегка кремовый что ли. легкие орехи, карамель, нотки винограда. Послевкусие не такое сухое как в других ламбиках, но все же нотки шампанского ощущаются, такого сладкого шампанского.

Small 250ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Light brown with small consistent white top. Light vinous sourness, apple, malts, earthiness. Taste is quite sweet, caramel, light fruity berry tartness. Light to medium bodied, slick. Decent, quite tasty.

Bottle: Dark red sweet little bir sourness Faro rom Boon. If you want to learn to drink Lambics and so, start with Boon.

250ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. Golden brown, clears with a small uneven off-white head. Bready aroma, some citrus, light vinegar. Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet. Tastes of sugar syrup, lemon, floral notes. More sugar in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Okay, but recommended only for a style tick.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear chestnut with a white head. Musty cobwebby corners, brown sugar, orange and lemon, wood, mild tartness, quite sweet, some raspberry. An interesting and enjoyable brew, albeit a little on the sweet side.

Kicsi de örökké tartó hab, tiszta, barna szín. Édes-savanykás, enyhén animális, leheletnyit karamelles illat. Enyhén savanykás, enyhén édeskés, kissé karamelles ízek, jellegzetes lambicos vonásokkal. Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas, csak jelzés értékűen keserű. Kellemes, friss, jól kiegyensújozott ital, de határozottan üdítős.
