Maria (9570) - Thisted, DENMARK - JAN 2, 2007
Warm amber with a red hue and a creamy, but moderate head. The aroma is slightly sour with notes of candy sugar, caramel and a hint of nuts. The flavour is nicely balanced between acidity and a sweet/sour finish, and the candy sugar never becomes cloying or pushy. It’s a really nice faro.

I don’t really know what faro is but here goes. Standard fruit beer smell, feel and taste. Flavours are characterised by an earthy, woody, barely note. Sweet, slightly tart finish.

stouby (3212) - Holbæk, DENMARK - DEC 30, 2006
Bottle at home. Dark amber with a white head. Aroma moderate malty, notes of fruits. Moderate sweet and sour, and when you get used to it, smooth and round. Light body, normal carbonated.

SHIG (3061) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - DEC 22, 2006
Bottle: Poured a reddish brown amber with a white head. Aroma seemed to have that sour berry fruit smell with a hint of sugar. Nice sweet berry and malt flavor. Kinda diffrent than what I expected from all the ingredients I read.

Doppelganger (1385) - Dry County, Arkansas, USA - DEC 15, 2006
Bottle from the Oxford CAMRA festival. Dark caramel pour, layer of tan head that settles fairly quickly. Oxidized barleywine sort of smell--dark pit fruit, brown sugar, sherry. Flavor is...really weird. Sort of a lemonade kind of thing--a heavy dose of sweetness, mixed clumsily with a big dose of dark sweetness. So sweet. Gives me the shudders. A bit metallic in the finish. Grows on me a little as the glass progresses--the harshness of the sweetness wears off a little--but it still just feels like an unusually awkward beer.

[From my Christmas Speech at Ørbæk rådhus] Wow! Wonderful sweet aperitif Faro. Cannot find any better in this special style!

NYHarvey (2153) - New York, New York, USA - NOV 29, 2006
Courtesy of Papsoe. <P> Acidic, sweet, lightly funky, unripe green apple aroma. <P> Pours a ruddy brown with a quickly diminishing bubbly white head. <P> Sweet, funky and lightly tart in the fore. Very sugary through the middle and finish, but with that faint barnyard funk beneath. Has a sort of apple cider flavor to it...very appley in fact. Hmmm. It’s kind of still and lifeless with just a hint of carbonation as you swallow.

ogivlado (4990) - Zagreb, CROATIA - NOV 28, 2006
Bottled(250ml). –Amber coloured, small white head, wine acidic nose. Acidic aroma with notes of fruits and yeast. Also light apple and a way too strong sugary taste. Moderate sweet and acidic finish. There are better Lindemans.

Slight fizzy beer with a deep yellow to light amber color. The foam disappears quick. The aroma is very nice and apple like. Fruity sourish in the nose with a fine counterbalance of honeyed accents. The beer has a perfect balans between sweet and sour. Very nice to drink lots of it on a warm summer day.
