Timmermans Tradition Faro is a beer made by adding candy sugar and water to lambic to mellow its acidity. In the 19th century, Faro was very popular in the Brussels area. Various folk traditions were associated with it, and this ambrosial drink flowed abundantly, thanks to its relatively neutral but extremely pleasant flavour. Today, Faro Timmermans is still brewed using the methods and recipes of days gone by, and meets with unanimous approval.

Taste-wise… A sweet beer with a base of lambic enhanced with water and candy sugar, to make it just light enough. The sugared notes predominate, imparting a general flavour which does not intensify on the palate but is wonderfully refreshing.

Color ámbar claro, velada, espuma blanca de buen espesor bien retenida. En nariz emana notas de cítricos, azúcar Candy, cierto toque. En boca es agridulce, ligeramente ácida, fondo azucarado, notas de fruta madura. No está mal

Аромат кислый, слегка сухо фруктовый. Цвет светло янтарный, абсолютно без пены. Слегка похожий на обычную соду. Вкус по началу очень кислый и ягодный. Сразу после глотка происходит сахарный взрыв, который остается на языке и даже на губах. Через минуту-две наступает легкое сухофруктовое послевкусие с кислым оттенком. Пиво хорошо карбонизированно. В целом уникальный напиток в редчайшем стиле.

Backlog September 2011. Quite clear golden body under a small white head. Aroma is light acidic with fruit and mild funk. Taste is more acidic than expected from aroma, light malt, citric fruit, lemon, sweet peaches, white sugar and hint of candy sugar, mild funk/barnyard. Medium body with refreshing aftertaste. Not super complex, but refreshing and quaffable.

Bottle. Unclear amber with an off white head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma of brown sugar, apples, old lemons, crackers. Moderately sweet with a nip of sourness in the background. Tastes like cider. Some hard spices at the end. Refreshing.
