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.

A brown yellow colour, a head is almost medium and blond. Aroma is sweet, grapes and raisins, some apples. Taste has fruits, some raisins, strong sweetness, some sourness. Medium bodied, slightly sticky but also sparkling. Too sweet, otherwise OK.

Pours clear golden. Not much froth. Aroma is fresh fruit, such as cherry, strawberry, tangerine... Reminds of a Burgundy Pinot noir. Taste is fizzy, sweetish, very sour yeast. Medium body, medium finish. Very lambic.

Aroma has earthy notes typical to gueuze and sugary sweetness. Flavour has grapefruit, brown sugar, some earthy tones and citrus. Also some homemade mead vibes. Faro is still not my thing, the sweetness does not fit in.

*Old rating, best before 10/07/04. Süßliches Bier mit ein Bisschen Restsäure. Sehr süffig, nicht zu süß, stimmig, könnte aber noch ein bisschen mehr Säure vertragen. Nett.

Sweetened version of an already quite sweet lambic beer. I don’t understand this need, especially for Timmermans beers.

Bottle from Bier Huis, Ossett. Clear, amber colour. Film of fine, white head. Aroma is baked apple. Brown sugar. Light, bready, yeasty tartness. Taste is soft toffee. Baked apple. Palate is fluffy soft. Light oiliness. Finish is light sweet, and light tart. A beer of contrasts. Nice beer.

Bottle at Delirium Cafe, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied sugar, light funk, and light wheat. Flavour is quite sugary sweet, with candied sugar, light caramel and maybe a hint of buried funk. Acceptable faro, but really sugary and simplistic. Not good.
