4.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 wu1sabes (25) - USA - JAN 8, 2010
Had this from a bottle at the Lindemans Brewery, sweet aroma with the nose of a traditional gueuze, appearance is as expected, taste is remarkable, unforgettable and very easy to drink on the palate.

Quality package, embossed corked bottle. Pop smells funky. Hypnotic pour. Full lambic experiemce, tart and farmy with candy sweetness. Perfect carbonation. Some very mild medicine in the background. Supreme enjoyment if you have a sweet tooth. An excellent example of a flemish brew. Does anybody know why they make any other style? Finish? What finsh, blast; its all gone. Need more.

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...

12oz bottle from Pinch poured into a snifter...because I can. Pours a nut brown with a half finger of off-white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is very sour. Sour cherries and sour apples. Taste is medium-heavy sweet and medium-heavy sour. Strong taste of cherry. Almost reminds me of a cherry Warheads candy from way back. Medium bodied with a thick yet slick texture. Also kinda sticky. Soft carbonation and a long sour finish. Overall, very good. I’ve got to find more faro beers.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 turbothy (937) - Bonn, GERMANY - MAY 3, 2009
Pours dark amber (morning urine) with absolutely no head. Still lots of carbonation, though. Heavy, sweet aroma. Nice fresh tartness without being mouthpuckering, and very sweet which will not appeal to some. I like sweets.

These comments may show me to not have a beerophiles insight into the finer qualities of beer. Oh well. I like this Faro version of Lindeman’s Lambics much better than the Geuze, even the Rene. This poured with a nice off white fine foamy head and a little lace. Color is a hazy medium to dark amber. Aroma is yeasty, tart, caramel, toffee, wine. Flavor’s very similar. Nice sweet/tart interplay. Great body and carbonation. Finish is like flavor. I really like this beer.
