Courtesy of Nate. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a frothy off-white head. A little lacing. The aroma is sweet caramely and fruity. A slight funk to it. Very mild with a slight dryness. A bitter mineral characteristic that lingers on the back of the tongue. Not as sweet as I thought it would be. Pretty thin with a slight sprits. Ok, but not great.

9/13/08 - From bottle, courtesy of Nate, shared with exec board. Pours orange amber with foamy, light khaki head. Caramel, carbonic nose with mild citric/lemon. Taste is citiric acid with caramel, apple, dry bitter with a mild sour and a bit of raisin. Not bad.

From 325mL bottle, year unknown, at Village Tavern in Hammondsport, NY. Nice funky nose, a bit sour, a bit sweet, with mild oak. Has that nice wild yeasty nose, with a bit of floral-herbal hoppyness; wonderful. Dark amber-copper clear with thin off-white head, a few floaties. Medium bodied with light to medium carbonation. Starts with nice tart character, fruity with yeasty wild funk, oak and apples, winey. Nice bitter character in the finish but not harsh. Sweet-tart finish, mild and very nice. Very nice faro that seems to have held up nicely. I bought their last two bottles to take home - a steal at $7.50, I thought.

Bottle, thx to thewolf, vintage 1998. Dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, oxidized, fruit. Flavour is sweet, fruit, weak oxidized, yeast, caramel. Nice finish.
