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. Pours a clear, sharp, bronze color, with a big, bubbly, grey head that dissipates immediately. The aroma is lemon zest, apples, tangerines, butterscotch, and lots of white sugar. Sweet flavor, with a mild, pleasant, tart finish. Medium body, with a very syrupy and sticky mouthfeel. Fun, easy lambic. Good aromas and very sweet flavor that’s a little much, but not too bad.

Bottle - Light sweet apple and white grape. Clear gold with a decent white head. Apple juice, no acidity and some light tea leaf. There is a touch of acidic bite on the throat, but no real complexity or funk.

Il gusto al naso va verso il floreale. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta e si fa ricordare per il pizzo finale. Le bollicine sono fini e la carbonazione è bassa. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Anche qui le bollicine sono fini, con carbonazione è media e persistente. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in equilibrio con l'amaro medio. L'intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il finale è felpato, pulito e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al palato arrivano impressioni di miele, cereali, erbe e fiori.
