Bottled, drank in Brussels in 1995, Yellow colour, white head, nice sweet and sour nose. This was a good Faro with a sweet taste, I prefered the Pertotale Faro from Boon, but still it was a good one. My version hs 5,5% abv.

Vintage 1990 - sampled 2006 at Le Bier Circus in Brussels. A hazy amber beer with a nice brown head. The aroma has notes of caramel as well as dust and cork. The flavor is lovely acidic with just a hint of sweetness and notes of wood, cork, and caramel. The cork notes made it stand out as somewhat old (no wonder), and my wine loving companion didn’t like it due to the cork, but I found the cork mixing in with the rest and to give it even more character. I really enjoyed the sourness, the years have eaten the sugar and made a single vintage gueuze?!? or is that a carbonated lambic? anyways a lovely beer.

Bottle-Vintage 1990@Bier Circus, Belgium. Very well balanced, and has a touch of sweetness, that blends well with the slight musty sourness. Woody acidity, with some caramel flavours, which were, again, balanced by the juicy acidity. The balance was great in this one.

Bottle courtesy of madsberg. Vintage is 1990. Amber body with a small off-white head. Nose is wet wood, green apples, damp earth tones, fallen leaves during autumn and some sweet-sour aromas. Taste is mostly sour but has minimal sweetness throughout. Light wood, sour fruits, declining sugary notes, and earthiness. Very tart at times! Some lemon juice coming thorugh as well. Body is very tart and acidic. Bitter notes, and light culminating is a dry finish. Ends with sour fruits, light earth, damp wood, and light sweetness. Not bad!

Bottled @ Le Bier Circus: (Vintage 1990) Amber coloured. Light brown head. Sour, fruity and earthy brew. Is very gueuze like and lacs the usual sweetness in the faro. Sour, sour, sour and very grapish. Light astringent. Is dry and salty in the end with a slight touch of fruitiness.

Vintage bottle (1992?) from Le Bier Circus, Brussels.
Pours dark amber orange with a small white head. The aroma is dominated by an extreme wet woody note, smells like an old boat. Not unpleasant, but definately cellary. Flavor is tart dominated by wood and grapefruit with a musty note. The age is shinig through, but it hasn’t become bad. Soft mouthfull. A nice experience, but imo not much of a faro as the sugar is too insignificant.

(Bottle 75 cl) 5,5% ABV according to my label. Light brown, a bit flat with almost no head. Classical Faro with candy sugar added to a lambic base. The sugars never overpower the tartness from the lambic making this an old-fashioned and very quenching drink if not exactly refined. Vander Linden were never known for their sophisticated label art - this definetely is no exception! 310398
