Bottle via trade, shared at Bruce’s. Gusher! It pours murky amber with a massive off-white head. The nose is sweet apple, pear, ice tea, musty, dirt, damp leaf, filthy earth and some orange sherbet in the background. The taste is crisp, sweet-sour, appletizer, old apple, damp leaf, dirt, light mould, earth and brett with an earthy finish. Medium body and high foamy carbonation. Not nearly as sweet as I had feared. Alright, but hast a big dirty/musty thing going on.

Medium sweet flavor with a bit of tangy wood, lemon, pale bread, low acidity. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Lightly drying on the finish, some old wood, light grassy bitterness. Not bad.

Bottle thnx to bierkoning ! Gusher Pours unclear amberbrown , huge white head . Smell is malty, sweet , wood ( indeed typical faro, yet more malty ) , spices, apples . Taste is bit bitter , some sourness, aromatic sweetness . Apples, tad dry . Overcarbonated . nice, I like the taste in this one . Perhaps with less carbonation this would make quite a good beer ! On the other hand, I received this bottle in September on BBF , and than lost it in my ollection. You should drink a faro as fresh as possible anyway since otherwise the carbonation builds up to high .. So this might deserve a re-rate

Borefts VI. Day 2. Bottle thanks to Edo. Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, fine carbonation. Airy malts, light floralness, pretty mild gueueze sourness. Airy dry finish. It’s pretty mellow and doesn’t deliver the sweet and sour punch I would like from a Faro, but it’s fine.
