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.

Bottle. A light sour smell. The head is medium large, white and creamy. The body is dark red. The taste is sweet, later with a light sour finish. The body is light and dry with a lively carbonation.

12 oz. bottle. I finally tracked down a bottle of Lambic - Faro thereby completing all of the styles on Ratebeer. This beer poured a pretty clear red with a thin-moderate, somewhat fizzy head that left streaky, spotty lace. Pleasant aroma that was both tart and sweet with notes of berries, leather and sugar. The flavor is similar with berries, a bit of leather, and sugar. Bright and lively on the palate. A bit on the sweet side, definitely more sweet than sour or tart, but I enjoy sweet beers so that was not an issue for me. Overall, an enjoyable beer.

Pours slightly dark amber with small off white head, nice lacing. Aroma is funky sour sweet, fruity, apples, yeast. Lively carbonation, light body. very sweet/sour like candy first drink especially. Fruity taste, kind of like apple juice, small amount of spice. Very interesting and delicious.

thirstyrabbit (478) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 17, 2012
375ml bottle with a cork and a cap. Hazy orange/amber body with a small head. Vinous aroma with some baked apples. Nice bubbly mouthfeel. Taste is sweet and sour, mostly remonds me of apples. Like a mix of champagne and apple juice. Finish is sweet.

A very complex drink, brown reddish color, good head retention, apricot, raisins, a little bit sour but candy sugar balance the beer. It’s a pity, that is hard to find...
