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.

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.

355ml bottle from Beers of Europe. A neck wrapper, cap and a cork, maybe they could encase the bottle in concrete just to be on the safe side. My first Faro Lambic and there only seems to be 19 current beers in this style. Pours a clear brown with brief fizzy white head which didn't last long. Aroma is yeasty, sweet, apple puree baby food, berries. Interesting. Taste is sweet, tangy, apple, cherry, berry, caramel, light sourness. Medium bodied, slightly syrupy, high carbonation. Very fruity and tasty. Definitely a top 50 Faro!

I'm not sure I know the difference between this and a lambic but who cares.

So a Faro is a sweetened lambic apparently. Nice sweet/sour combo of flavours.

Color ámbar rojizo, espuma blanca, algo rosácea, de mediana retención. Nada más abrir la botella me llega al olfato un agradable aroma, acercando la nariz se percibe frutos rojos, miel, cereales, caramelo...huele muy rico. En boca me ha sorprendido para bien, entra suave, ligeramente efervescente, y va desprendiendo poco a poco una acidez y un agridulce asidrado que activa las glándulas salivales e impregna el paladar con sabores a caramelo afrutado, frutos rojos, dátiles, fruta de dragón (Pitahaya), manzana verde, chupa chup de cereza, frutos secos, pasas... Un auténtico placer esta cerveza, la única pega que le puedo poner es que dura muy poco, 250ml para mi se me hacen cortos, me ha dado mucha lástima cuando se me ha acabado esta delicia, me habría gustado disfrutarla por más tiempo y en mayor cantidad.

0,25 bottle. Let's see this is one of the classic lambic. When filled, the foam disappeared immediately, the color is rust-red, it seems strongly carbonated. Grape, winey, raisiny, cognac-like aroma. At first sip, it was fuller than I expected, especially compared to the alcohol content. The added candy sugar made it more concentrated and carbonated. Sour, but still fruity, spicy. Raisiny, sweet, aszú wine effect. This was delicious!

Lássuk ez egyik klasszikus lambicot. Kitöltve a habja azonnal eltűnt, színe rozsda-vörös, erőteljesen szénsavasnak tűnik. Szőlő, boros, mazsolás, konyakos illat. Első kortynál máris testesebb mint vártam, főleg az alkohol-fokhoz képest. A hozzáadott kandis-cukor töményebbé és szénsavasabbá is tette. Savanyú, de mégis gyümölcsös, pikáns. Mazsolás, édes, aszúboros hatás. Ez finom volt!
