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 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.

Heerlijke Lambiek. Veel zoeter dan gebruikelijk. Licht zure ondertoon smaak met zoete toevoeging. Donker gele kleur. Smaak blijft niet lang hangen.

375 ml bottle in the Begijnhof. Lemony nose, light grass/dust, some caramel, sugar. Orange amber color, clear, with lace and light but persistent bubbles. Sweet and tangy, lemon, some light lambic funk and leather but not much, a bit lactic. Certainly not all that serious, but pretty tasty and quite drinkable. Good lemon flavors.

Bottle shared at Delirium. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The nose is caramel, musty, mouldy wood and wet leaf. The taste is ice tea, apple, sweet pear and light tanginess with a sweet finish. Light-medium body, fine carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Yup far too sweet...

375ml bottle. Clear dark golden to amber colour with small to average, macropore, diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Sourish and sweetish fruity aroma has notes of raspberry, plum and the like. Taste is sweet fruity, notes of strawberry, raspberry, plum, weak sourish counterpart; average to soft carbonation. Very sweet though still drinkable, surprisingly fruity.

Clear golden colour, dissipating white head. Aroma of citrus, apple, quite sweet, some caramel. Sweet flavour, apple juice, light sour touch. Light citrus in the finish, lots of sweet apple juice.
Apple juice is listed as an ingredient also in this beer, same as in the Tradition Gueuze, but here it seems to work out somewhat, and I’m far less offended by it in a beer that is already supposed to be sweetened.
(From 33(?)cL bottle @ home)
