Style: Lambic - Faro
Ternat-Wambeek, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

A murky brown beer with a murky head. The aroma is like rotten fruit, & oddly tomatoes. The taste was like apple juice just a little sweeter. Hmm tomatoes for aroma & apple juice for taste is not what I was expecting.

basement aromas, spruce, vanilla, caramel, amber, sparkling, minimal head, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, sticky, flat,

Amber, not much head. Aroma is a dark fruit, mushroomy, dank funk. Taste is quite sweet, and of dark fruit candy. There’s a bit of sourness, but the sweetness hides much of it.

Bottle, pours a tannish coloour, the taste is way to sweet, not very pleasant to drink, you can taste the faro in there but its not pleasant

Bottle 25cl, a cloudy amber brown beer with low head. nose is very nice near to a oude bruin with brettanomyce notes as well as sweet notes. Aroma is nice on lambic and sour notes but too sweet, should be just a bit less sweet to be really great.

Pours an awesome rusty orange with little bubbles. Smells very sweet, nothing short of brown sugar and dried oranges - altogether a bit like a dry wine. Tastes like honey dew and tangerine, the sweetness was pretty high, and stayed around until the tangy smooth finish. Some would say that this is too sweet, but still enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle. Poured light brown with little head. Taste is similar to other faro. Very sweet with little bit of dark malty flavours.

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
