3.3 THT November at Kwartje. Bottle shared. Dark golden amber, clear, with thin greyish head. Sugary sweet, old honey, wet cardboard, light vinegar. Quite sweet and quite sour. Medium body, syruppy and sugary.

2.2 Bottle. Caramel color with no head. Aroma is funky, caramel, candied sugar. Taste is candied sugar. Low carbonation, sweet finish. Metallic aftertaste.

1.9 Bottle. Nose is metallic rotten fruit. Palate is also slight off fruit. Baaaad.

2.3 Aroma is artificial sweet caramel with some artificial berries. Artificial sweetness, oak finish. Nothing good.

2.4 Bottle. Pours clear amber. Aroma is light funk, dust, dirt, vinegar. Body is medium strangely salty and sweet, funk, sugar and sugar. Almost no carbonation. A bit like a soda, too. Meh.

2.9 Flaska från belgiuminabox. Riktgt söt men iskall funkar det. Massor av honung och söta äpplen med viss syra i behåll. Lite åt istehållet eller som honungsatten man dricker vid förkylning. Ok.

3.0 F: thin, off-white, quick gone. C: amber to coppery, hazy. A: malty, woody, fruity, lambic tones, lemon sourness. T: malty, lemon, woody, not very sweet, caramel, funky, not bad, medium body, low carbonation, 25cl bottle from Cora Woluwe-Saint-Lambert in Brussels.

3.9 Бутылка в московском пабе Брюгге. Интересный кисло-сладкий вкус с фруктовыми оттенками и легкой горчинкой в послевкусии. Карбонизация слабая.

3.4 7/V/17 - sample @ the brewery (Toer de Geuze) - BB: n/a (2017-587) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the beer! Clear copper orange beer, creamy white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: woody, funky, bit cheesy, some caramel. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sour, caramel, bit sweet, lemony, lime peel, sugary touch. Aftertaste: pretty sourish, caramel, sweet, bit funky, cheesy finish. Actually one of the better faro’s I’ve tasted so far. Still very sour, which is nice!

2.3 Robe ambrée, rousse, translucide. Légère écume. Nez sur le sucre, pointe de lambic, impression de thé. Bouche sucrée (candi), très légère acidité, saveur type Ice-Tea, fort sucré. Très faiblement carbonaté. Faro commercial fort sucré.

2.2 Sampled from 0.25 l bottle from ’Belgiuminabox.com’, best before August 2016. Murky, brownish red with a thin, soapy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, a bit fruity and a little woody aroma of rotten lemon, vinegar, sugar and some wood. Very sweet, slightly sourish and a bit fruity taste of rotten lemon, apples, lots of sugar, some wood and hints of leather, followed by a short, slightly tart, a bit dry finish. Medium body, quite astringent and a bit effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Way too sweet, almost artificially so, unpleasant aroma, overall hardly drinkable.

3.3 Un Faro assez basique, qui allie notes acidulées, caramel et pointe de lambic. Bouche plutôt dominée par le sucre.

3.1 Bottle @ home, 3 years. Pours a dark amber to brown color with a minimal head. Aroma is dry an slightly sweet with cherries, toast, slight barnyard and vinegar. Taste is is rather sugar sweet, medium bodied. Notes of cherries, sugar, acetic acid, lemon and hints of barnyard. Finish is dryer and lemon acidic with lingering sugar, cherries and strawberries.

4.0 Smell of barnyard funk, green bottle skunk. Taste has alot of sugar mixed fruit in it. Pours with no head dark yellow in color. Decent beer.

1.6 Bottle. Pours in dark amber body with no head at all. Aroma has sugar sweet, cream, toasty character. Taste has high, very high sugar sweetness upfront with some fruity touches after the end. Oh god, so sweet. Body is thick, oily, sweet, low carbonation.

2.6 Bottle 25cl. @ Cerveceria Internacional, Seville, Spain. A: Hazy brown. T: Sugar, sour, fruity.

3.0 250ml bottle (thanks martjoobolut). Slightly hazy brown color. Small size, bubbly beige head, stays as a ring. Fruity, peach, sweet, sour, vinegar in aroma. Sweet, jammy, peach, apricot in taste. Sugary and apricots in aftertaste. Way too sweet for me, but not bad.

3.1 Bottle (from belgiuminabox). Pours brownish. Aroma is acidic, sugar, vinegar. Flavor is sweet and sour, some vinegar. Overall: weird, but i kind of like it.

2.8 Bottle shared by Mart. Hazy brown amber beer, small head. Nose is tart, fruit, barnyard, plums and sugar. Flavor is very sugary and sweet, fruitiness takes a backseat to the sugar, there are some tart notes in the finish, but oh boy is this sugary. Not overly sticky though.

2.8 Appearance: Slightly hazy brown, small amount of fizzy, off-white head. Aroma: Sweet apples. Plums. Taste: Fruits, plums, apples. Quite sweet, though still some tartness. Bought: Beers of Europe, 250 ml, £1.39 Info: 25/3-2016, BB: 20/8-2016

2.0 Bottle, picked up at Binnys! Pours quite hazy orange, small beige head, dissipates slowly, decent lacing. Aroma is sweet funk, candi sugar, carmelized sugars, hints of Brett and barnyard. Flavor is very sweet and lightly funky. You can almost feel supersaturated sugar crystals going down your throat. Medium body, low carbonation. Pour it over ice cream? Don’t drink it. You will die of diabetes. Oh well, 38 more beers to find to succeed in getting 10 of each style before 10,000 rates.

2.7 Aroma - danky farm, brown sugar, and some spice. Appearance - dark-reddish brow with a small beige head Taste - funky barnyard and rich sugars Palate - medium body, soft carbonation

3.7 Bottle, April 2014 Not So Fools Tasting (rating backlog) Pours brown. Nose is sweet cherry and raspberry and some toffee. Taste is very much the same with some balsamic vinegar and soap, i cant imagine saying something that tastes of vinegar and soap tasting nice but this did.

3.3 25 cl bottle @ home, BBE 18.09.2014 Aroma is nice combination of earthy sourness and sugary sweetness. Flavour is tartish with grapefruit, sweet sugary maltiness and some fruits. Interesting and better than I expected.

3.5 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye..Pour is clear gold with a fading ring..Nose is cardboard, sweet, caramel, ...Taste is sweet, cola, musty, caramel,

2.7 Overwhelming sweet aroma and taste. Have to get used to this. Slight opaque yellow, small white foam ring. Caramel and sugar aftertaste. (Luik 201507)

3.7 Aroma: hay, grass, earthy, barnyard, Appearance: cloudy golden, slight white head Taste: apples, heavy cloying sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, Palate: medium body, thin feel, soft carbonation, Not my favorite take on the style

2.8 Rouge foncer avec presque pas de col. L’arôme de pomme et sucré. En bouche c’est fruité avec plein de pomme. Un peu trop sucré.

3.0 A dark reddish brown coloured beer with a weak off white head. A winey, vinegary aroma, red wine and balsamic, plus a ketchup like fruitiness and a woody element in the background. Medium mouthfeel. A balanced sweet and sour taste, sweet red fruit, toffee apple, and tomato! This, then brings in the sourness, balsamic and red wine. It's like a fizzy sherry!

4.3 Nice golden pour mid white head with rolling bubbles along the glass. Small nothin like it taste loads of flavor , Apple pie, honey, sweetness with yeast notes. The Apple stays on the palet like drinking juice.
