Tap at The Wedding. Kind of weird overall but somewhat refreshing. Very sweet, not too sour. Mildly tangy. Sugary. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish. Reminded me of iced tea. So so.

Bottle from de Bier Tempel. Pours a golden brown colour with a medium beige head. Aroma of horse-blanket, hay, lemon and earth with some candy sweetness. Similar flavours, not overly sour with a nice musty, earthy flavour. Quite refreshing although I don’t really enjoy the sweetness of faro’s. Still good for the style though.

sour milk aroma,brown golden, clear, off white foam, light sweetness, lightly sour, medium body, creamy, soft carbonation, nice soft and light sour finish.

Nice to try a desent Faro. a bit sour, floral, caramel and citrus smell. The lambic comes trou the flavor. So you have a touch of Geuze, but not complete though

Clear copper-red topped by a generous thick head. Light aromas of wood, red wine, slight acidity coming trough the nose (acetic?) with a complex fruity bouquet of black cherries. Light to medium body, creamy, light sourness, a touch of sweetness to balance everything and a lingering woody finish, just a bit too astringent. Very nice introduction to lambics.

(bottle) pours a clear dark copper colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of butter, old cheese and canned tomatos, excessively vegetal. flavour is total diacetyl, sugar and boiled vegetables, couldn’t drink more than two sips. medium-bodied with average carbonation. drain-pour.

Bottle, pours a nice golden hazy colour, the taste is very smooth with a bit of dryness and a hint of souriness at the back, very nice offering, good example of the style

Bottle purchased in Brussels. Poured light orange/brown with little head that retained. Mostly yeasty flavours with medium body and smooth, slightly sour finish.
