Bottle during Paul’s Pre-Wedding Weekend in Belgium. Pours a light, cloudy amber with a fine white head. Tart and grassy aroma gives way to a nice, mildly sweet flavor with some toasty grass and lemons. Light to medium in body with fine, tingly carbonation. Lightly dry on the finish and very sour, with lasting tangy grass. Much better than the other faro lambics I’ve had. It isn’t sickly sweet at all, and the sourness is robust. Good one.

Bottle at Wood Shop 7. Typical amber-orange color. Dusty nose with brown candi sugar and grapefruit. Nicely sour, a little dusty and leathery and restrained sweetness. Pretty good for a bottled faro, and more complex, though not exceptional.

Zu Beginn ist das Bier noch säuerlich, was im Mittelteil zugunsten der auftretenden Süße intensiver wird. Süffig, hintergründig angenehm bitter-hopfig. Rund, nicht zu süß. Gut! 8/11/11/10//10

Draft @ WoSF 2012 // clear ambery orange with close to no head // wow, smell has pretty much no sugar or sweetness to it, tart, sharp, lemon, matured lambic, maybe small traces of candy sugar / taste is tart, sour, rain water, either they put very little sugar in here or they fermented most of it away, only small layer, matured lambic shines through more, acidic lemons in the finish, horseblanket & caramel, surprise how little sweetness there is in here, especially compared with other Faro’s // average for style body

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, nr Gent, Belgium April 2012 consumed at home 20.05.12 Looks almost copper in colour, quite flat on the pour with no bubbles, but pretty good clarity. Wonderful aroma, I get the usual horseblanket type wafts but it is rather swamped by a wonderful vinegary salad dressing, in fact it is balsamic and a very nice one at that. Tart and sweet, this one really gives your tongue and tastebuds the most wonderful workout, your tongue will feel like its in a gym, balsamic, molasses, lemons, cane sugar it is all here. This is quite, quite lovely, tongue tingling tastic. A8 A3 T9 P5 Ov17 4.2

Bottle shared at my 30:th birthday tasting on May 5 (30 år av Surt). Bottle bought @ Etre Gourmet. Pours hazy deep reddish golden with a rather small frothy offwhite head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace. Smell is tiny sweet and slightly sour with hay, lemon juice, wood, leather and hints of vanilla, burnt sugar and manure. Taste is tiny sweet and sour with lemon juice, green apples, leather, grape zest, hay and hints of burnt sugar and sweat. Mouthfeel is dry, tart and medium bodied. Finish is dry and tart with grape zest, lemon zest, wood and hay.

Bottle at "30 år av surt", on May 5, 2012 in Göteborg. Bottled 01/2009. Cuivrée, col crémeux beige. Arôme garde ce profile très lambic avec un profile sucre candi qui peine à se faire sentir. D’un côté cela démontre bien que DeCam n’a pas abusé du sucrose. En bouche, le tout est sec, grains avec sucre candi, profile reste moyen en force, laissant plus le côté lambic prendre le dessus pour une pointe aigre qui reste présente, cela malgré l’ajout du sucre candi.
