2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy amber with loads of floaties. Sweet and sour aroma with rather vinious and ripe fruity notes. Sweet flavor with light brett notes. Caramel, fruits and wood sums it up.

25cl bottle @ Biertempel, Brussels. Pours dark brown with a off white bubbly head. Sweet caramel, earth, citrus, sugar and dust. Medium to thin palate. Ok.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light brown. Quite muddy looking. Smells like oxidized malt, with syrupy notes. Slightly tart and refreshing on the palate. Hints of lemons. Quite sugary. Offputting appearance, but overall a functional faro.

UPDATED: SEP 23, 2004 (Bottle) Pours a clear golden color with a small white thin head. Flavor is champagne-like with boysenberries and white grapes. Aroma is floral and somewhat tart.

Sampled at Zythos 2009. Worst beer of the weekend by a clear mile. Oh wait. the Cara Pils was in fact just slightly worse. Very dark brown, thin off white head. It’s brown sugar, a bit of malt, diluted in water. Quite comically bad.

(Noogfest2, best by 1997) Off-white head atop particulate-fulled apple juice. Aroma is medium sweet, sour, white grape, light funk. Taste is moderately sweet, sugar, grape, melon. Light-medium body.

Bottle, at the brewery. It’s a dark reddish brown beer topped by a minimal sized beige head. A bit weak on the aroma, with cellar, brown sugar, and a touch of something spiced. The flavor is very cellary and barnyardish, some sugar too of course. Medium body. Metallic finish with some dirt cellar notes. A decent one, but far from the most interesting faro I’ve had. 110501

12.7oz bottle-pours an off white head that bubbles with some lacing and cloudy orange/brown color. Aroma is wood/vinegar, sweet medium malt, apple. Taste is sweet apple/cherry/sugar, medium malt, faint wood. Nice mouth feel. Mild effervescence. Taste was quite a pleasant surprise after an average aroma. Thanks to Armock for the trade with jwc215 & me.

Bottle @ Yespr tasting.
[thank you, BelJohansen]
Pours a hazy copper with a creamy off white head. Lots of particles in the liquid. Aroma is rather tart with a weak caramel background. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour begind funky and tart, then adds wood and good sweetness from caramel at the finish. This is a better faro than the ratings suggest.
