3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet and sour aroma with maybe a little citrus. Flavors starts very sweet with a little fruit and wood. Sour and carbonation give balance and a nice mouthfeel. First time I’ve ever tried a Faro--will try again.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear amber body with thin white head. Aroma is floral and to me smells like candied cherries. Taste is sweet at first but finishes with a cranberry tartness. Sweet but not cloying. Nice beer to break up your normal beers. Lingers on your palate and has a fizzy mouthfeel. Some lacing. Very enjoyable to split with the wife.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
375 ml dark green bottle with silver foil top, capped and corked. ABV is 4.2%. Soon available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Golden brown colour, moderate to low white head. Aroma of malts, cellar, fruit and kandij sugar, hints of oak. The flavour is fruity, moderately acidic and quite sweet, sugary and oaky notes. Faro is maybe not my favourite beer style, but this is a nice "change of pace" beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This little 25cl bottle pours clear copper with white head. The aroma is on the sweet side with inviting notes of yeasty tartness backed by slightly funky to stale cherries and slightly moldy, sticky and oozing plums and musty basement. The taste begins with a sweet/tart like cherry and sweet green apple candy note. Behind those notes are moderate layers of sour lemon / lime, tart yeastiness and then a big more sweet sugar like notes attempting to even this out. It ends on the dry side as the moderate tartness and sourness leave the palate fairly dry into the after taste with lingering notes of lemon, ripe sweet green apple and cherry.
