2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 cucuma (77) - kontich, BELGIUM - FEB 8, 2011
UPDATED: MAY 3, 2011 I had one and i’m not a lover of faro.
Is one of the oldest beer styles!!
The sweet taste and color comes from caramel/candi added.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 nbutler11 (1230) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - JAN 19, 2011
I have recently received conflicting information about faros, so I will chalk this up to not being true to style. Pours, smells, and tastes like malt liquor mixed with skunky yeast and Splenda. Not a fan.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 13, 2011
Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Clear nut brown, minimal head. Citric barnyard aroma with caramel behind. Some citric acidity counetracts crystalized sugar sweetness, rounded mouthfeel. In a way the crystalized sugar enhances the gueuze flavour, the drawback is reduced drinkability and takeover of caramel/sugar flavours. Still this breaths authenticity and remains refreshing.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 SuperDave (1934) - Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA - JAN 9, 2011
Pink apple juice color. Smells like ass and light fruit. Tastes like malt liquor, which is its only redeeming quality. Whatever.
