Bottle at the pre-Pre-Borefts TZT tasting at Kim Jung Un Buurtcentrum, Zd. Unclear pale amber with white head. Sour grains, grapeskins, rusty, oxidation, apple peels, some sugary character but not so much as I feared. Moderate sweet and bitter, light sour. Medium body and soft carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Lambic Faro Au Sucre D'erable on 09 Sep 2018 at 14:41 - Score: 7

Thnx to François !!! Pours unclear amberblonde. Small head is extremely unstable. Gone within a second. Smell is full, dry, tad tart, mild sugary aroma. Taste is weird. Not the gentle balance you expect in a faro. Shows signs of oxidation, and a sweetness I'd more pair with that ( think of honey, earthy, apples, yes even some mild cardboard). Mild herbal like, earthyness I never experienced in a faro. More tart than sweet, for sure. Wouldn't even call it sweet, actually. Somewhat 'rotten' tho. It feels off, but not in a way I experienced before. Maybe they used a different kind of sugar than what I'm used to in a faro? (note to self, yes, maple sugar rather than the common used candy sugar) not my favorite faro....

Huge thanks to tom10101 for getting me this and also vtafro and JTClockwork for getting this eventually to me. Had with Thai food. Fine pour of light brownish orange. Nose is faint maple and lambic funk. Tastes funky of basement, maple, honey, soap and lemon. Not bad aftertaste. Not too sweet.

Bottle: Poured a clear light amber color beer with a medium size foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of maple notes with light tart notes is OK. Taste is also a mix between some maple notes with residuals sugar notes and light rat and funky notes. Body is about average with OK carbonation. Interesting idea but not sure the results is a success.
