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.

A small bottle purchased online from Beers of Europe while home on holiday, and drunk at my place here in Taipei [note this bottle is labeled as ‘5%’] Aroma: very intriguing, memories of late season apple orchard. Appearance: opaque bronze, 2-3mm. off-white lacing. Palate: medium-bodied and rather tart, softish carbonation; finish is pleasantly acidic. Taste: predominantly sour, lightly sweet, nicely balanced. Some funk, a little bit of caramel; very refreshing, I could drink more.

Bottle at Hops, Crewe. Pours ruby red with minimal transient white head and medium carbonation. The aroma is a mix of musty old barrels, unripe apples and hints of sugar. In the mouth it is quite tart but with some underlying sweetness. Flavours are cherries, sugar, apricots and ripe fruit. Finish is dry and fruity. A disparate mix of flavours comes together to produce a decent beer.

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.
