Lambic is one of the world's oldest beers. According to some, it is also the best, even if its characteristic acidity does not please all palates. To offset this acidity, some decided to add sugar to it. Thus Faro Lambic was born. Adding sugar syrup to lambic was a revelation at the time of Bruegel. Until the 19th century, Faro Lambic was very prevalent in the Brussels region. Folklore there was frequently associated with it, and the divine liquid flowed like water. Then Faro Lambic fell into oblivion. It was not until 1978 that our family brought it back to centre stage. Or centre Senne, as you prefer. Particularly appreciated after physical exertion, Faro Lambic is not only easy to drink, it is a joy to do so.

sour lambic aroma with lots of leathery malty notes too.
flavor is quite sweet, with a citrussy lambic sourness sort of hidden below. The sweetness clash quite a bit with the lambic and leave the beer not that quenching. slightly herbal.

0.75 l bottle shared with a friend. Pours orangeish color with no head.It was like a mid-sweet champagne both in aroma and taste with a fruity-sour finish that lasted for quite a long. It was my first beer of this kind, hence my points are a hundred percent subjective.

Very sweet sugary aroma with light barnyard funk aromas. Carb and mouth feel are perfect, if anything the carb is a tad low. The finish is wet hay, touches of funk and sweet sugars. Nice.

Aroma of vinegar, green apples, candy sugar. Flavour is sugary sweetness and tartness. I prefer my Lambic sour and found the added sugar a detriment. Perhaps I’m just not a fan of this style.

Mała butelka. Aromat nienachalny, w smaku lekka kwasowość i ziołowość.

Аромат сладкий, в основе карамель, также ощущается немного квашенной кислоты. Цвет многогранный, красно-коричневый с совсем легкой пеной с большими пузырями. Вкус по началу очень сладкий, даже не скажу что это типичная карамель, скорее концентрированный коричневый сахар. Но самое необычное начинается в послевкусие, к сладкому и продолжительному уже оттенку, добавляется неистовая квашенная кислота, образуя уникальный, слегка изощренный торнадо у вас во рту. Дико на любителя. Но мне понравилось.
