3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap @ Moeder Lambic. Pours hazy orange and still. Aroma is sweet and sour, maybe grapy. Taste starts sugar sweet with some sourness trying to peek out. More caramel later on. Some acetone abrasiveness. Better than Girardin by some margin.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
draft at Chez Moeder Lambic in Brussels - Pours lightly hazy orange with no head. It smells funky, malty, and earthy. The taste is of mildly sweet malt and candi sugar with notes of earth and funk. The sugar is lighter than other faros I tried. The mouthfeel was oddly flat though. Is it supposed to be almost uncarbonated? That was disappointing for what was otherwise a very enjoyable session beer.

From a jug at the brewery. Pours with no carbonation and no head. Dark orange coloured. Diacetyl aroma and malty/grainy, not pleasant. Butterish and malty flavoured. Ends flat and light sweet with a persisting butterish note. I was warned that this was for people that don’t really like gueuzes and lambics :) and questioned several times if I REALLY wanted this.
