Bottle @ FOneFan. Slightly hazy amber with small off-white head. Aroma is malt, horse blanket, tart and a little leather. Flavour is malt, medium sweet, horse blanket, little tart and a little citrus.

No head. Smells similar as lambics usually. Taste is really sweet, and fruity. This is not sugar sweet, but fruit sweet. Nice, very nice.

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 shared at my 30:th birthday tasting on May 5 (30 år av Surt). Bottle bought @ Etre Gourmet. Pours hazy deep reddish golden with a rather small frothy offwhite head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace. Smell is tiny sweet and slightly sour with hay, lemon juice, wood, leather and hints of vanilla, burnt sugar and manure. Taste is tiny sweet and sour with lemon juice, green apples, leather, grape zest, hay and hints of burnt sugar and sweat. Mouthfeel is dry, tart and medium bodied. Finish is dry and tart with grape zest, lemon zest, wood and hay.

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.

(750ml bottle) Pours a hazy golden amber body with a small white head. Aroma of berries, citrus, earth, sweaty feet, and cow manure. Flavor of herbs, horsey, brett, stone fruit, and lemon.

Bottle (75 cl), courtesy of _angst. Shady mahogny, medium off-white head. Earthy aroma, wood, grapefruit and barnyard. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Dry with medium acidity.

Hazy dark amber with a small beige head and some lacing. Caramel. easty, barnyard and citrus. Nice.

30 år surt. Pours clear dark amber with a nice off white head leaving lace. Aroma is dry cellar sour horse stable. Flavor is sour tart dry woody in beginning, more bitter and pungent with some harshness towards the end. Finishes shortlived bitter sour and dry.

Bottle, 2009 vintage labelled as Oude Faro, 04/29/2012. Pours deep burnt orange, fronthy one-finger head recedes to splotchy foam on the surface, soapy lacing. Aroma of tart stone fruit with big earthy barnyard funk, musty cheese, lemon notes on the back end. Taste in contrast strikes as very sweet, sucrose notes dominate, behind are supporting elements of tart apples, sour malts, light barnyard with soft bitter finish. Sweetness thickens the mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really had to take it slow here, the sweetness was almost too much.
