Bottle. Amber orange color with a small fizzy fair lacing mostly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is light hoppy and yeasty, moderate to heavy pear, sugar (sweet). Flavor is heavy sweet and moderate acidic with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft to flat. BBF 11/2005. Very nice ;o))

Special thanks to jjpm74 for hooking me up with this hard to find style. Poured a darkish copper color, with a big foaming head. Aroma was like sweet and sour sauce, with just a touch of leathery funk. Flavor started out with a lot of candy sweetness and sour, with a big sourdough yeastiness, leading into a balanced finish. Medium body and very drinkable.

I liked this. It has some sourness but is obviously sweetened. There is a light barnyard, yeasty aroma. Flavor has more yeast with sugar and just a hint of sourness. Amber in color and well carbonated. Light and refreshing.

Kirschgeruch, der leicht ins säuerliche geht, man merkt jedoch direkt, dass ordentlich nachgesüßt wurde. Süßer Kirschantrunk, künstlich wirkend. Im Mittelteil rückt das Kirscharoma dann schon fast in den Hintergrund, da die Süße sich beträchtlich ausweitet. Der Nachgeschmack ist zwar etwas sauer, die Akzente sind trotzdem auf die Süße gesetzt. So süß muss es wirklich nicht sein! Test vom 18.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,6,7,5,6,5 - 5,90

A dark amber faro with a thick light moka head. Pleasant lactic cheesy aroma, light hosrblanket, cream soda. A sweet beverage with that funky cheese taste, lactic point, berries, and overall pleasant mouthfeel. A good St. Louis product. Bieropholie prvate import.

Bottle: Poured a clear medium orangey color faro with a big foamy head with quite good retention. Aroma of sugar with some tart and sourness. Taste is quite sweet which is kind of expected for faro with more tart and sourness and overall complexity then expected from this brewery. Overall, this was better then expected since this brewer is not know for following the traditional lambic way.

(Bottle 25 cl) Clear, dark amber with a rough, off-white head. Sourish aroma with notes of wood. Medium body with a fairly distinct sourness and then the pleasantly smooth and burned caramel sweetness from the brown sugars. A perfect melange of sweet and sour. Can’t help it, but I really, really dig this stuff. 050207

Bottle; Sweet carmelly candi, but acidic nose; slightly hazed copper with a small beige head; sweet apply flavor contrasting with a mild tartness, with some oak notes. I wish faros were more available, like the fruit lambics; I enjoy the contrasting sweetness and tartness. Without the baryard aroma notes of the Lindemans Faro, but very similiar in flavor
