Clear amber colour, white head. Aroma of caramel, dried apricots, candy sugar, white grape juice. Quite sweet flavour, light funk, light citrus zest, artificial sweetener. Finish dried apricot, hint of lemon zest, quite spicy. Decent beer.

A dark brown beer with a quite weak and blond head. The nose is quite sweet, lots of dark fruits, some prune, cherries and earthy sourness, nice aroma. Taste of dark fruits, quite strong sourness, nice and balanced sweetness, cellar. More sourness in the end with some biting herbs. Medium bodied, easy to drink. Quite nice, and unique beer.

The faro beers came into existence because some people couldn’t handle the strong sourness of the lambiek beers. Therefore, they added sugar. So a faro will always be a sweetened version of a lambiek, in other words: inferior. No matter how great Girardin is, this beer style is just bad.

Flaske hos Ole Anders juni-13: lett syrligsøt aroma og lett en forfriskende letthet med snev av fjøs i smaken. Min første faro, og dette frister til gjentagelse. Både interessant og godt. Ikkee for søt og heller ikke for sur. Bare godt.

Flaska från beernavigator. Brun med drag åt rött, klar till jästfällningen följer med, lågt skum. Söt doft av honung, dadlar, farinsocker, söta äpplen med en lite geuzedoft i bakgrunden. Smaken som doften d v s söt, syran balanserar den något men det är ändå i sötaste laget. Smakbilden är dock mycket trevlig men torkad frukt och honung.

I decided to double my faro rates so I ordered this from The George & the Dragon. I didn’t care for my first faro brew but this is much better. Pours murky brown with musky dark fruits on nose along with that bizarre belgian sugar. Tastes isn’t too sweet which was nice surprise. You get plenty of sugar though, figs, toffee, earth, and basement. some bitterness on finish. odd but thats the style
