3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
The aroma is very sour. The color is dark orange and it has no head. The flavor is sweet and sour of grapefruit and with a dry woody end - a lovely flavor. The best Faro I have tried.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
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.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark orange, hazy. Fruity lactic vinegar aroma. Complex with balanced acidity. Usually faro is just sweet and dumbed down. but Cantillon is so sour to start with that their faro is like other traditional brouwers lambic. Really good!

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2011
2011-09-04, at Moeder Lambic, Fonteinas, 7-5-8-4-15=39
Cloudy dark amber color, with a giant creamy head. Aroma of malt, of old, maybe some dust, and brown sugar. Sweetish mouthfeel, but it doesn’t cover the character from the Gueuze. It’s not the first time I had a Faro at Moeder lambic, and it’s always good.
2004-06-12, just prepared this morning by Jean at the brewery, with a 1½ year old lambic and sugar, 8-4-7-4-14=37
Hazy dark amber color. Nice aroma, reminiscent of vin cuit (apples and pears cooked for a looong time), and caramel. Very sweet, covering pretty much the sourness; easily (dangerously) drinkable!
