3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20375ml bottle. Pours a clear dark amber, with a large white head, which lasts fairly well, and leaves reasonable lacing. The aroma is a mix of sour, musty, woody and faint leathery notes. It opens with a nice, strong sourness, with perhaps some redcurrant flavour playing through it. The influence of the candy sugar can be felt moving into the mid-palate, which offers some sweetness along with some woody notes. The sour flavour and slight redcurrant notes reappear towards the finish, which is a deft balance between sour and sweet. This is the first non-fruit lambic I have been able to lay my hands on, and it is not disappointing - it certainly lives up to my expectations.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 12 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a clear deep gold with a thin white head. Aroma of wild yeast. Barnyard flavors mostly overwhelmed by candy sugar flavors. A bit sweet for my tastes but pretty nice, nonetheless. Plus this is my 75th beer style to rate, which makes it pretty special.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear very dark amber / reddish hazelnut in colour with smooth body. Nose of something very special, like cherry stones, hops and malt. Taste of cherry stones, lambic-fruit kriek. hay, mild hops and ripe grains. Hints of nuts. Dry but also very sweet finish. This is just a high complex lambic that I really enjoyed and loved to drink. As this is my first Lambic of this style I’m willing to re-rate this beer when I got my hands on another Faro.

Once again a tricky one from Lindemans. You can be used to that sour geuze style, but when you come to the end and a slight sweetish taste and aroma hit you from knowhere you know you have an outstanding beer in front of you. Full of aromas, full of great mouthfeel and with an incredible driniking end.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
My first lambic. 25cl bottle. Pours brown-amber with a white fast diminishing head. Bready, sweet sour aroma. Flavour is sweet, yeasty, acidic wine, medium sour until the end.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
07/05/2013 Bir&Fud Bottega (330ml bottle), Ambrata carica, con lieviti in sospensione, schiuma bianca abbondante ma poco persistente. Al naso sentori di zucchero di canna, lieviti selvatici, leggere puzzette indefinibili. In bocca è un dolcione, succo di zucchero, quasi nessuna traccia di acido. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione soft. Pessima.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle. Sour lambic aroma with some sweetness present. Flavour is an abomination - far too sweet with unpleasant earthy elements. I couldn’t finish the bottle.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Chestnut like amber, thin sudsy off-white head, sparce lacing. Nice tart nose, very wild lambic like, some bright wheaty notes and a bit of sweet fruity vinegar. Hmmm, a bit sweeter on the tongue than the
nose suggested. Tart, not sour. Very light dryness. Boy sweetness, tartness, and the drying aspect play off each other. Not as dry or tart as others, on the sweeter side (which I expected for Lindemans).
Body and mouthfeel are average. Finish has somewhat of an artificial sugary sweetness. I kinda wish that was a bit duller, and the tartness and dryness to stand out a bit more. As is its still fairly tasty and enjoyable
to drink. Pretty much like most other Lindemans, a bit more sweet than others in the style.

12 oz bottle. Poured an amber color with a thin white top and some lacing. Taste of candy apples, sugar, tart, and citrus. Medium carbonation, medium syrupy body. Too sweet for me
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
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
