The aroma is very sour. The color is dark orange and it has no head. The flavor is sweet and sour of grapefruit and with a dry woody end - a lovely flavor. The best Faro I have tried.

Hazy gold - apricot colour. Slight head, transparant-white. Nose of raisins, grape, sugar, benzene, sulphur. Taste gives raisins again, sweet muscat wine, sugary retronasal. Slick, oily mouthfeel; thick bodied because of the syrup. Nice balance between the sweetness and the lambic tartness. If I have to drink sweet beer, I want this.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark orange, hazy. Fruity lactic vinegar aroma. Complex with balanced acidity. Usually faro is just sweet and dumbed down. but Cantillon is so sour to start with that their faro is like other traditional brouwers lambic. Really good!
