Dunkel orangegoldene Farbe, fingerbreite leicht beige Schaumkrone. Geruch fruchtig, vergorenes Obst, etwas trocken. Geschmack ziemlich süß, Honig, reife Früchte, Karamell, leichte Würze, insgesamt überwiegt aber die Süße, interssant!

Old rating rerated 01.12.2014, 0,375l bottle sampled @ UNA sour beer tasting:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is very mild sour-ish grassy, stable, hay, wet grass, sugar, shed, oak, wet grain, sorrel. Taste is watery, hay, wet grass, minerals, weeds, sugar, wet grain, flowers. Little bitterness, watery mouthfeel. Boring.

Very dark brown with plum accents. 3 finger head. 375 new bottles in gueuze tumbler. Nose is sugary sweet with a lot tannic lemon hint. Very tart with nice balance. Love the sweetness bird a pretty darn good faro. Not hard to get so I’m glad I finally got to rate this one.

Dark orange color with hardly any head. Very sweet aroma of candis sugar and malts. The same taste that reflects the candis sugar. Quite easy to drink, it’s just that the sugar overpowers the lambic character way too much and it’s not really sour.

’Artificial’ faro with yellowish white, thick moussy but not very stable head and darkish, copper-like amber colour, clear. Artificial sweetness in the nose, caramel, subdued lambic funkiness, tea, honey, dried leaves, sweet tobacco. Taste begins fresh and crisp, sweet caramel candy along with a lemony sourness, bit artificial, lambic coming through quite late and in a shy way, in the form of a light funky sourness and bitterishness. A bit more lambic-like than its congeners by Lindemans and Timmermans but from this brewery I had expected something more earthy and funky.

Coppery color with a frothy and dense light beige head, with good lasting. Aroma has notes of red fruits, some vinegar notes. Flavor is fruity, dominating cherries and berries, wooden and slightly acidic in the mouth. The final is fruity with very light vinegar hints.
