Pour was copper with a tan head. Aroma was sour champagne and some sweetness. Taste was a little too sweet for me but there was some nice sour apple to balance it a bit. Not too bad.

Sour vinegar aroma, would be a good sour if it wasn’t for the sweetness. Kinda reminds me of a sweet apple cider vinegar.

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2012 Bottle from beerboxer. Smells like vinigar. Slight taste of vinigar then a sweet finish. Color is amber.. Reminds me of dying easter eggs.

I think this is one of the better Faro i tried (after the Cantillion one). There is a sweetness coming from the Candico-sucre but also the typicaly Lambic flavor. It’s very well ballanst. Nice head and very nice colour (caramel). The better one’s witch you can get very easy.
