@Pauls Girardin unblendeds chugging-courtesy of eclectic thanks Kevin-37.5cl bottle–pours a very thin off white head and copper color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-brown sugar, dark fruit-prune/raisin. Taste is sweet medium malt-sugar, medium fruit, some earthy. Soft effervescence.

Botella. Hazy deep red colour. Fruity cherry sourish aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a good frutiness with cherries, yeast, toasty malt and a nice sourness. Nice dry sour fruity finish.

Bottle. Pours a pale red with a fizzy head that completely disappears. Mildly fruity aroma. Lightly fizzy mouthfeel as well. An initial sweetness that turns slightly sour.

tap at mesandsim wedding ... soft sweet fruits... light toffee nose... tart sout front ... sweet sugery linger ... oh no.... take it away

clear amber, large thick smoth offwhite head. dry aroma of brett, stable, fruits, balanced, and hinting at a good sour experience. flavor is bitter, brett, berries in the background, sweetness, not much sourness, still comes off as a nice bittersweet bretty slightly sour thing.

It’s a beautiful brown-red/copper color and the head is small. The aroma has notes of sweetness, sourness, peal of citrus fruits and some cane sugar. The flavour has sweetness and sourness with notes of peal of grapefruit and oranges, a tart grapefruit that develops and some sour berries also are found. Now, I’m not a Faro specialist in any way, but I prefer the Lindemans... 2334 (had forgotten to ad this rating 2 years old)

Amber with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit and leather. Flavour of mold, cellar and slightly tart.

Bottle. Small head with short duration. Lively carbonation. Color is amber. Aroma and taste is a bit sour and bitter.

Bottled with a plastic cork, Girardin goes modern... Amber color. Not very much of an aroma. A vague woody caramelly touch. Sweet flavor, woody with lemon. Caramelly, dusty. A bit of nutty bitterness. Some sherry character. Likeable, but not my favorite from Girardin.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Powerfull nice complex aroma. Moderate sweet and acetic flavor. Well-balanced. Average finish. Oily palate. Pleasent to drink also for people who normally dislike lambics.
