Sample courtesy of Kermis at my 20th anniversary in NL party. Thin creamy white head. hazy golden pour. Balanced sweetness and sourness. Not bad at all.

A kind of faro, undoubtedly blended with their Ulrich Lager. Creamy, sticky, snow white head, colour pure amber, warm glow. Sweaty lambic aroma, sherry, hay, fennle seed, strawberry, mango, white pepper, pale malts, cinnamon. Bit sugary sweetness in onset, aromatic herbs (star aniseed?), smooth and somewhat thin mouthfeel, light acidity, subtle lambic character, clearly diluted by a ’normal’ beer, light bitterness in the end. A curiosity and not much more than a variation on Girardin Faro, not well-suited for the diehard fans of authentic lambics, but still lambic-like enough to be enjoyable.

Hazy light amber, sweet front, caramel, touch herbal, and that’s a lot of the taste. Bland, just a touch of faro character, but fruity and almost sodalike.

750mL bottle, sent from mista (thanks a lot, Geoff), pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Nose brings out funk, light sugar, a little vinegar and more funk. Flavour certainly is interesting, with unusual notes, with sugar, an herbal quality, pickled vegetables, and some very subtle funk. The sweetness is artificial tasting -- must be the sucralose that's used here. Not the most elegant faro, but it's quite intriguing in its uniqueness.

75cl bottle, bottled 2009.
Amber-brown in the glass. The nose is fruity-woody with hints of dark sourness. The beer starts intense-concentrated. Woody, Faro-sweetish. Tart. A bit dusty. The mainpart is dusty, smooth Faro-typical sweetish, malty. The woody sourness is not that intense, but present. The aftertaste is long, sweetish-dusty with wood and caramel. Not really highly drinkable. Therefore too dusty, probably too old.
Interesting brew. --> 10/11/9/10

Corked 0.75l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. A lovely warm amber orange colored thing this with a small islandy and lacing off-white head. It has a fruity bretty aroma with peaches, red berries and a little wood hint. Yeah, Smells really nice! Oh, it's sweeter than I thought. Soft and really thin on the mouthfeel and also soft prickling on the carbonation. Red Berry sweet with thin raspberry lemonade. Surprisingly sweet, and not very interesting or even good to be honest. Smells quite nice but I'm a bit disappointed in this hybrid. 23.10.2013
