330ml bottle. Good looking in the glass with a deep ruby-brown body, stable fawn coloured head, leaving spotty lacing behind. Smell of earthy caramel malts, mid-sweet, promising. Well blended taste of caramel and dried fruits, lightly spiced. Mid-sweet dark malty finish, warming down the swallow. Well bodied sipper. (Tromsø, 06.06.2026).

Bottle . Nose is huge brett, leather, wet wheat, vegetables, leaves, faint cheese, vinegar.
Taste is wheat, oak, hints cheese, brett, very tart, leathery oaky note. As it breaths the peach comes through more, as does the lemon, green apple and pastry notes.
Really good.

Bottle @ Herøya. Unclear dark golden body under a white head. Aroma has malt, bread, dark fruit, some wood and slightly funky. Taste of sweet malt, ripe fruit, wood, honey and mild brett. Balanced body with a light and refreshing aftertaste. Decent, but perhaps a bit one dimensional. But promising, I believe a little storage to let the Bret work a bit might do some interesting things.

Bottle @ Herøya. Slightly unclear amber body under a nice, lacing beige head, lively carbonation. Aroma has caramel, brown sugar and ripe fruit. Taste has sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit, red berries, spicy yeast, cellar notes and a nutty touch. Fine body and same aftertaste that’s feels quite refreshing. Nice, quiet complex, typical Belgium beer. Might need a bit time with this one to discover all nuances.

A small bottle purchased online from Beers of Europe while home on holiday, and drunk at my place here in Taipei. Aroma: agreeably sour. Appearance: very beautiful clear bronze with great aeration, one finger off-white cream. Palate: medium-bodied and sticky on the tongue, average carbonation; finishes on a rather cloying sweetness. Taste: pretty heavily sweet, rock candy, a suggestion of caramel. There’s some residual sourness there but it can’t break through. My first Faro, ever, and I don’t think it’s going to go down as a favourite style of mine; the appearance is great. [Note to self: 1,000th. rating! 890 on Ratebeer and 110 on Brewver, Feb. 2017 to date, slow but steady, and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.]

Bottle @ home. Clear golden body under a huge, foamy white head. Arom has pale malt and quite much in the spicy/herbal direction, very delicate. Sweet and refreshing the way only Belgium beers seem to handle, mild pale malt, spicy/herbal and some bitterness. Actually, a tad more bitter than usually for a Belgium blond – otherwise this is ultra typical, traditional Belgium blond and it’s best. Love it or leave it!
