0.375 l bottle at Weekend der Spontane Gisting, Opstal, Belgium. Shared with lovely Anja. Clear oily amber colour, small lasting off-white head. Aroma is dried fruit, figs, cork, cardboard, malts, light cocoa. Slightly aggressive oxidation. Grainy, sweet, fruity, herbal touch. Light black tea, tart finish, even bitter. Mild lemony acidity in the back. Moderately lasting finish.

375 ml corked bottle, vintage 2017. Moderate pop at opening.
Amber, a bit brownish, medium hazy body, with a small, beige head.
Aroma of moderate funk, wood, candy sugar, dried fruits, apples, some caramel.
Tastes sweet, sugary, a bit sticky, with sweet apples, dried fruits, wood, some caramel, almost no funk.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes sweet, a bit dry, moderate wooden, sugary, a bit fruity, with slight funk.
OK. The nose is quite interesting, but the taste is too sweet, with too much sugar and quite simple. My bottle also seems a bit oxidized. Still quite good to drink, not the worst style example I've had.
Score: 7 / 4 / 6 / 3 / 13

Bottle. Color: Amber, frothy off-white head. Taste: Combination of light sour and medium sweet and bitter notes. Notes of brown sugar and caramel. By far the most bittery Faro I have had. Bittery palate. Medium body, soft carbonation. Definitely not my favourite Faro.

The worst faro lambic I've had. Also second best. Not a huge amount of complexity here. Tinny kind of aroma like licking old cans. Amber pour with decent head and lacing. Some grapefruit amd a little sugar. Pretty clean finish with a bit of a papery cardboard vibe. Bottle from biercab.

Aus der Flasche 2015-08 getrunken. Hier gibt's Saures und Süßes! Wer leichte, säuerliche Noten mag, aber sonst bei den anderen belgischen Lambic/Frucht-Biersorten zurückschreckt findet hier einen guten Einstieg. Verdammt süffig, leichte durch Zuckereinsatz in Zaum gehaltene, fruchtige Säure. Super Lecker!
