A one-off brew with a variety of malts to get to a higher density after boiling. Candied sugar was also added during the brewing process. Except for the low wheat percentage, the process of this beer followed the traditional lambic tradition.

Sample @ SBWF. Nicley balanced faro. The mix of funk, sourness and the strawberry like sweetness makes it quite drinkable. Wood in the aftertaste.

Sampled @ SBWF on September 29. Pours a hazy golden colour with a white head. Smell is malty and dominated by vinegar. Taste is sweet and sour with a creamy mouthfeel. It has some dried fruit in it but nothing too dominant. Very nice and refreshing!

Bottle. Hazy light brownish with a small white head. Light tartness in the aroma also vinegar, green apples, grass and some notes of citrus. The taste was not as sweet as expected. Good tartness, not extreme in any way but balanced. Very, very drinkable stuff!

Bottle, 75cl corked. Courtesy of Igniztion. A two-finger, creamy, off-white head leaving lacings sits on top of a more or less clear, dark amber body. Sugary, cellary nose with a nice barnyard and lemon touch. Dark candy sugar. Some alcohol in the mouth, with cellar, lemon notes, and some barnyard. Sugary sweetness. Lasting warming and fruity sweet finish. A true beauty, for sure. Looking forward to taste this one again. 110827

Hazy brownish color, not much head. Smell spices and sour. Taste also sour with a little sweetness. Nice body, but not my kind of beer.

75cl bottle @ 3F. Une bière-gueuze-faro, peu importe ce que on l’appelle, elle reste néanmoins complexe, et sur une voie dont je n’ai pas l’habitude de voir pour Armand. Une bière cuivre, brumeuse, mousse fine et clairsemée de qcq bulles beige. Arôme est tout à fait différent des autres produits de 3F, et cela est une agréable surprise. De suite, je suis pris par un profile qui est axé plus sur le sucre candi, malt et caramel, le tout gardant tout de même une légère touche de houblon et d’amertume avec une fine note aigre. En bouche, bière fruitée, sucrée(candi) avec un profile qui tend à se rapprocher du Faro, garde une légère note acidulée, malt biscuité avec caramel mais avec toujours ce fini avec la signature de 3F.

Mild säuerlicher Geruch mit dumpfen Himbeernoten, auch Andeutungen von Trauben scheinen vorhanden. Mild säuerliches, sich ausbreitendes Aroma im Antrunk, etwas holzig, die Säuerlichkeit wird intensiver. Aromen von Grapefruit, in das sich ein herber Ton gut einfügen kann. Zum Ende hin wird das Bier recht trocken, was sich hier aber noch in Grenzen hält. Noch wenig vollmundig, leicht bitter-trocken, der Grapefruit-Ton kommt erneut hervor. Süffig, im Abgang etwas scharf, was hier einen Störton darstellt. Ansonsten rund aber im Nachgeschmack zu trocken, was sich in Teilen auch auf den hier weiter vorhandenen Grapefruit-Ton zurückführen lässt. /11/11/9//11 Mild säuerlicher Antrunk mit geringfügig fruchtigen und stärker holzigen Beinoten. Vollmundig, die Säuerlichkeit passt in ihrer Intensität gut zu den starken Holznoten. Das Bier bleibt auf einer Intensitätsstufe, dunkelmalzig, harmonisch, einfach rund. Später ein wenig trocken, getreidig. Leicht grasig, wenig süß. Gut! 10/11/13/12/12/12
