Hand pump at 3 Fonteinen restaurant with a dish of rabbit in gueuze (Highly recommended): Brownish coloured. Unclear. Huge light brown head. Sweet and fruity beer with some acidity and sourness. Has this mild cold tee thing, but not as evident as for example the Cantillon. Is quite fresh and grapish. Full bodied. Is fruity and woody in the end.

Jul 21, 2008 Draft
Consumed at Drie Fonteinen, Beersel, May 2006
Dark brown color, murky. Large bubbled tan head. Nose of apples, sour pears, sugary grains and honey. Sweet graham cracker flavors, chewy caramel as well. Sweet and oily and slick on the palate, with a mild bite. Didn’t really do a lot for me.
Rerate at Spinnekopke in May 2008: lucious brown cloudy appearance, raw brown sugar and lambic nose, dense flavor, moderately sweet, pure and raw throughout. Lovely. Probably my favorite faro outside of Cantillon. Rating improved from 3.1 to 3.7.

May 2, 2008 On draught at the Drie Fonteinen restaurant, Beersel 24/5/08. Deep amber colour with reddish undertones and an off-white head. Aroma of honey, apricots, pears and demerara sugar. Slightly vinous flavour with some more fruit, spice and a hint of barnyard. Very drinkable.

Apr 19, 2008 [1125-20080228] Tap @ In’t Spinnekopke (Brussels, B). Mince meat spice pie aroma with caramelized malt hints. Murky, dark dark brown body with a big long foamy light tan head with heavy lattice lacing. Sweet rounded malt flavour with a bit of mince meat and medicinal grains. Medium-full body is well-balanced and has interesting notes on all levels. Lovely and original, plus a great start for this Belgium trip.
