Light sweet kinda fruity amber redish pour thin white head small bits floating in beer. It drinks like a Riesling sweet, light, fruity and easy to drink

750 ml bottle, at home, poured into a tulip glass. ABV 4.2% Light amber orange colour, with lots of tiny bits floating in the body. Two fingers of off-white soapy head, with low retention. A little bit of lacing on the glass. Aromas of caramel and white grapes with faint cherries notes. Taste is sweet at first and during the sip, turns to sweet sour on the aftertaste. Very refreshing. Light on the body, carbonation just a bit above average, on good levels. Nice beer, quite refreshing as I already wrote.

12 oz bottle from Wilbur’s into my Duvel tulip. Copper colored and pretty clear with a small off-white head. 2nd pour was cloudy and full of sediment. Fruity, sweet candy aroma, lightly tart with brown sugar. Really sweet and fruity, chalky and yeasty with a dry finish. The flavor is just too sugary/sweet for me.

Amber-brownish liquid, fast receding "dirty" head. I t doesn’t look like beer, doesn’t smell like beer, AND doesn’t taste like beer. Sweet, syrupy, not enough carbonation to counter it. A lemonade with some alcohol, pretending to be beer. I will try a faro from another brewery, but I’m fairly certain this is not my style of beer. I prefer the "real" lambics.

Bottle - Dark malts, spices and yeast. Clear effervescent amber. Sweet and mellow malts with some sourness with the spice of the rye. You also get some rotting apple. Very nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft pour at some place in Brussels. The appearance is deep amber with a creamy white head. The nose is prune, bread, refined sugar. Little else. The taste is crazy sweet. Loads of caramel and plum jelly. Lemonade. Just very sweet and syrupy. Medium body, slick on the tongue. Overall, never again. Bad, even by faro standards...

375ml bottle from Drinkswell, Ripon. Pours a clear brown-golden colour, thin bubbly white head that dissipates away and aroma of musty sour apple & brandy. Taste is sweet with wood, honey and also sour with apple & cherry notes. Smooth slightly syrupy mouth feel, well carbonated, crisp clean finish. Quite drinkable.

Brown, semi clear with thin head. Sour aroma yeast and apples, also like something gone bad.. Fullbodied. Very carbonated and sour, overly sweet. Like applejuice past it’s best before date. Not to my liking.

Deep amber color with a medium white head that quickly dissipates. Nice aroma of aged yeast, some mustiness. Taste is sweet, much like a southern sweet tea it is too sweet and covers up any other flavors in the beer. Not one of my favorites.

Pours a light darker red with orange hues producing a foamy head with light carbonation. Aromas of wood/oak, sour apple, honey, cork, and slight cherry. Flavors of sour/spicy apple, slight cherry, honey, oak/wood, and light cork. Medium to high sweetness, crisp, slightly sour,clean finish with almost no aftertaste. Wow my first faro lambic. I enjoy the sweetness here and like this style better than the other lambic styles. Taste like an aged lambic but with a dominant sweetness (the only real taste difference).
