2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin disappearing beige head. The aroma is acidic sweet with strong notes of berries as well as light notes of wood and metal. The flavor is rather acidic, combined with an artificial sweetener - making it rather sweet, leading to a dry acidic woody finish. I don’t like the note of artificial sweetener.

2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from De Bierkoning and Amsterdam. Yet another Belgian beer that I couldn’t find in Belgium. Anyway, this beer is really not very good, but it’s nearly gone before I knew what hit me, so perhaps that is a good thing. Ratty aroma of trash is really off-putting, to say the least. Medium brown rum colored pour. Taste is not nearly so bad, but there is a lot of sweetness, almost artificial sweetener taste, that doesn’t really work. Still, goes down easy.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Glowing copper with a fierce tan head that quickly reduced to a film. Sour-sweet aroma with thoughts going to dark fruit (cherry?) with a hint of yoghurt. Starts sweet and fruity on the tongue, mildly dry acidity appearing gradually. A very good faro, with the complexity you would expect, but rather less challenging than the faro from Drie Fonteinen.
