Dark orange and very unclear. Smells of apple and cherry. Fruity taste with notes of brown sugar and sweet berries. Not too sweet though. Hop dryness in the middle and fruity end. Very nice faro!

Zu Beginn ist das Bier noch säuerlich, was im Mittelteil zugunsten der auftretenden Süße intensiver wird. Süffig, hintergründig angenehm bitter-hopfig. Rund, nicht zu süß. Gut! 8/11/11/10//10

Draft @ WoSF 2012 // clear ambery orange with close to no head // wow, smell has pretty much no sugar or sweetness to it, tart, sharp, lemon, matured lambic, maybe small traces of candy sugar / taste is tart, sour, rain water, either they put very little sugar in here or they fermented most of it away, only small layer, matured lambic shines through more, acidic lemons in the finish, horseblanket & caramel, surprise how little sweetness there is in here, especially compared with other Faro’s // average for style body

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, nr Gent, Belgium April 2012 consumed at home 20.05.12 Looks almost copper in colour, quite flat on the pour with no bubbles, but pretty good clarity. Wonderful aroma, I get the usual horseblanket type wafts but it is rather swamped by a wonderful vinegary salad dressing, in fact it is balsamic and a very nice one at that. Tart and sweet, this one really gives your tongue and tastebuds the most wonderful workout, your tongue will feel like its in a gym, balsamic, molasses, lemons, cane sugar it is all here. This is quite, quite lovely, tongue tingling tastic. A8 A3 T9 P5 Ov17 4.2

Bottle at "30 år av surt", on May 5, 2012 in Göteborg. Bottled 01/2009. Cuivrée, col crémeux beige. Arôme garde ce profile très lambic avec un profile sucre candi qui peine à se faire sentir. D’un côté cela démontre bien que DeCam n’a pas abusé du sucrose. En bouche, le tout est sec, grains avec sucre candi, profile reste moyen en force, laissant plus le côté lambic prendre le dessus pour une pointe aigre qui reste présente, cela malgré l’ajout du sucre candi.
