Backlog June 2009. Mahogany body under a thin beige head. Rather mild in aroma, caramel and some acidity. Taste is sweet and sour with ripe fruit and mild funk. Balanced in taste, fine body and decent aftertaste. Not outstanding in any way, but still a very nice made Faro.

Kolor jasny herbaciany, klarowny. Piana biała, wysoka i długotrwała. Początkowo drobno pęcherzykowa z czasem, redukując się, przybiera formę średniej wielkości pęcherzyków. Brak zdobień.
Aromat mocno kwaśny, intensywnie owocowy, dziki, jednocześnie, z delikatnie słodkim tłem. Kwaśność przypomina fermentujące owoce (jabłka), nuty dzikie, to zapachy z gospodarstwa wiejskiego. Akcenty słodkie kojarzą się z żółtymi, dojrzałymi owocami.
Smak przyjemnie kwaśny z odrobiną pestkowej, "suchej" goryczki, która intensyfikuje się na finiszu.
Alkohol dobrze ułożony. Wysycenie wysokie w dół. Tekstura delikatnie szorstka, sucha. Posmak długi, kwaśny z wyraźnie pestkowym, goryczkowym wykończeniem.

Kolor jasny bursztynowy, klarowny. Piana biała, średnio wysoka, średnio i drobno pęcherzykowa, trwała. Pozostawia spienione wysepki na szklance.
Aromat intensywnie owocowy (jabłko, gruszka, winogrona), umiarkowanie kwaśny, z nutami mokrego drewna, pestek. Na pewno jest orzeźwiający.
Smak umiarkowanie kwaśny, nieco cierpki, ale to pestkowa goryczka jest tu na pierwszym planie. Jest dość wysoka i długa, jednoznacznie kojarzyć się może z pestkami owoców i mokrego drewna.
Alkohol dobrze ułożony. Wysycenie średnie. Ciało średnie. Tekstura niemal gładka. Posmak długi wytrawny, drzewny, pestkowy.

0.375 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', bottled in February 2025. Slightly hazy, golden orange with a medium large, slightly fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, rather funky and quite fruity aroma of horse blanket, overripe lemon, grapefruit, hay and some white pepper. Slightly sweet, gently sour, rather fruity, gently funky and minimally vinous taste of grapefruit, overripe lemon, hay, white pepper, oak, leather and some red wine, followed by a medium long, gently tart, fairly woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and fairly effervescent mouthfeel, very lively carbonation. Highly delicious brew, unbelievably refreshing for such a high lambic, pleasantly crisp and dry. Gorgeous beer!

Keg @ One Pint Pub, Helsinki.
Poured light golden, almost no head, clear.
Nice funky aroma. Light bretta, hay, apricots. Dry and slightly sour.. too light though. Almost watery feel.

Pours a medium dark amberblonde. Medium sized head fades relatively fzdt. Overwhelming scent of mature brett, wood, and thick citrusy notes fill the room. Up close, the typical boon character. Full and fruity. Taste is quite dry, intense, noticable boozybess. Typical boon fruityness, and , here it is, it reminds me of vat 77 - one of my favorite lambics, and certainly my fav boon, in terms of fruityness. This one a bit less balanced though, too alcoholic (taste) for it's own good, lacking the superb balance of the actual vat 77, but being compared to that legacy alone is an acomplishment. High but tollerable carbonation. Very decent, i get the special version thing, and wouldn't stock up on it like I did with 77 amongst others, but certainly more than fun to have tried it ! Maybe i'd need to buy another to keep long term, see how the abv influences this in ageing .

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours a slightly misty gold, large white foam that subsides. Wondrous fresh floral funky nose. Flavour profile has a measured wild funky profile, with a richness from the alcohol though it doesnt seem overboard, soft leafy citrus, excellent balance, wondrous blend.

Aromas are tart cherries, malt and culture. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a bit of cinnamon and a touch floral. Good balance between tart, sweet and bitter. Good but not great.
