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.

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.

Eh, it's fine. Still can't get a handle on Faro. I've had three great ones and three overly sweet ones. This one has a bit of apple juice. I got into it by the end.
