Lindemans Faro

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Faro
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Poured somewhere between brown and red with lots of carbonation and a fizzy white head. The aroma is slightly tart with a touch of yeast and plenty of sugars. The flavor is a bit tart that is quickly trampled by sugars. Overly sweet. Failed to find balance. Mouthfeel is thin and the sugars linger in your mouth long after the sip is gone.

Colour of dark honey. Aroma of apples, musty lambic overtone. Taste is slightly sour balanced by candy sweetness, citrus flavour also present. Very nice light carbonation. Tasty one.

355mL Bottle -- Pours rich amber with a white head. Wow really interesting beer. Sweet and tart fruits like apple, pear, and fig. The spontaneous yeast provides some great funky notes, even some blue cheese.

My first Faro! The Dan Journal #313. Tasted 10/24/09. 355ml bottle. Cork and cage. Filtered? Amber hue. Spotty off-white head. Aromas are tart and earthy and musty. Big nose with notes of apples and dark berries. Full bodied with a big palate. Assaulting the palate. Totally fruit driven. Apples and citrus. Sugary berries. Nice candy sugar flavor. Filling and more malt driven. This is new to me, but I prefer it over the fruited lambics. This sets the bar.

[250ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring] Amber with a slight white head and a slight fizz. Smells fresh and fruity. Fruit comes through at first before the sourness hits. Thought it was too sour for me at first, but then other flavours started to come through - wood, caramel and a lot of dryness. Rather enjoyed it by the end after the slightly scary start.

Light copper in colour, small white head and nice apple and honey aroma. Good balans between sweet and sour, very low in alc. a tasteful sweetend gueze with a holliday character.

Bottle 75cl. Amber beer with a big head. Smell is sour and fruit, the taste is verey sweet and pleasant, the sour taste is less, some apples flavour too, but quite bitter. Refreshing, neer to some cider flavour.

Bottle. The color was light brown, cloudy. The foam disappeared quickly. Initially I thought about the swedish soda called Pommac when I sniffed at the liquid. Fruit, sugar and yeast were otherwise found in the aroma. The taste was very sweet. A certain sourness was there to balance the sweetness, but on the whole it was a little too sweet. One glass was enough, however the beer was not undrinkable. In addition to sweetness and sugar, I felt some malt, fruit and yeast in the taste. Very highly carbonated. Sweet but still ok.
