3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 weaselkenievil (1089) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - AUG 28, 2009
A little bit different for me a Lambic Faro. No idea what that means. Pale red brown with next to no head, low carbonation. Mellow flavour, little berry like fruit. Dusty cellar or car hole type aroma. A strange sweetness. Found this quite strange and quite liked it.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 TaxiDriver (1372) - Stadland, GERMANY - AUG 6, 2009
Bottle. The aroma is quite sweet, very spicy, reminds me of a mulled wine. The head is small, beige and fizzy, one short lasting. The body is dark red. The taste is very sweet, but hidden behind the sweetness is the sourness of a lambic, very well done. The body is rather soft with a lively carbonation and creamy and dry. A very good beer.

2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Parket (521) - Bruges, BELGIUM - JUL 19, 2009
bottle, dark brown colour and fastly disappearing beige head. Candy and caramel-smell. Taste: almost all candy-sugar. Also the taste you get when you go eating in a Chinese restaurant and you get their strange sweet-sour sauce.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 wimpie133 (380) - Brugge, BELGIUM - JUL 19, 2009
Bottle, 37,5 cl. A dark brown beer with only little foam disappearing fast. The aroma is sweet-sour and very penetrating. The taste is much too sweet for me: you nearly only taste the sugar candy, with the lambic only lightly on the background. The beer evolves to a caramel taste. But as this sweet taste is typical for Faro, and because it doesn’t taste artificially sweet, this beer just gets away with it. But I’m much more a fan of the combined sour and sweet taste from the Faro Girardin.

Way too sweet.

Very dark brown. No head. Candyish nose - toffeeish and almost liquoricey. Quite sweet and sugary up front with some caramelized notes. Yet, some barnyardy complexity remains. It’s very drinkable.
