3.4 Girardin Faro Lambic Style - Faro 647413 Lukt: Gjær, syrlige frukter. Utseende: Rødbrun. Skum/kullsyre: Tynt skum. Smak: Syrlige frukter, søtlig avslutning. Hvor: Hall Toll, Stavanger. Medium: Flaske@375ml, ABV@5%, Når@25.04.2018.

3.6 Fra flaske. Lys brun med beige skum. Mild aroma af malt, funk og karamel. Sød og let syrlig. Ikke videre kompleks. Letdrikkelig.

4.0 Aus der Flasche 2015-08 getrunken. Hier gibt's Saures und Süßes! Wer leichte, säuerliche Noten mag, aber sonst bei den anderen belgischen Lambic/Frucht-Biersorten zurückschreckt findet hier einen guten Einstieg. Verdammt süffig, leichte durch Zuckereinsatz in Zaum gehaltene, fruchtige Säure. Super Lecker!

2.7 37.5cl bottle from Etre Gourmet. Amber coloured beer with medium head. A nice sour but too sweet to my likings. Not a big fan of Faro,

3.3 27-01-18 // bottle shared. Unfiltered red brown. Interesting nose. Aroma of some sweet malts a flemish brown sourness. Missing some words to describe it. Tastes good.

3.2 #1771 Bottle. Hazy, amber to brown, medium white head. Aroma of hips, caramel, leather, sweet wine. Taste is lightly sweet, rouch of sourness and tartness. Woid, caramel, berries, hips, hip tea, touch of hip rose. Medium body and carbonation. Good, but I prefere pale versions of Faro style. In this one is too much caramel and it not works well.

2.9 Bottle 0.375l. Lightly cloudy, amber colored. AROMA- vinous, grape sugar, hips. FLAVOR- lightly sweet, vinous, sugar, a bit fruity. Medium bodied. Somewhat boring.

3.0 Piana nieduża, sycząca, szybko opada do firanki. Barwa miedziana, klarowna. Aromat delikatnie skórzany, winogronowy, z nuta kandyzowanych moreli. W smaku półsłodkie, lekko kwaskowe, lekko winne, lekko dzikie. Niewielka mineralność i pestkowość w posmaku, średnie wysycenie, dość mdłe w odbiorze. No ewidentnie piwo nie dla każdego - dla mnie dosładzany lambic nie ma tego pazura, tej rześkości wersji czystej...

3.4 W aromacie mieszanka jabłek, palonego cukru, belgijskich drożdży. Po odstawieniu na dłużej nuty jakby szynki z puszki - bardzo nikłe, przykryte owocami i cukrem. W smaku dośc słodko, ale przyjemnie. Na pewno nie tak słodko, jak w Faro z Lindemansa. Całkiem całkiem, tylko troszkę drogo ;)

3.2 37,5cl Bottle @ Be Hoppy, Madrid, Spain. Dark amber colour with a thin white head. Aroma is malt, fruits, slightly tart. Taste is malt, sweet, tart, hints of apples and yeast. Medium to light body, average to low carbonation

3.4 Bottle at home, paired to a meal with a pear stew. Great pairing, next time I’ll try to make a stew with Faro in it. Clear dark golden with thin white head. Sweet malts, dry wood, cardboard, old apple and pear peels, distant lambic aromas, sugar, dusty dark honey, apple vinegar. Moderate sweet with a slight rinse sour note. Medium body and soft carbonation. Never a huge fan of Faro but this gastronomic discovery opens new doors.

3.2 Piwo klarowne w kolorze bursztynowym nalewa sie z dosc obfita drobnopecherzykowa piana. W aromacie czerwone slodkie owoce i karmel. W smaku troche jak wygazowana cola, bez dzikich nut z przewaga ciemnego cukru. Bez goryczki z wysyceniem na srednim poziomie.

4.0 Sour cherries. Caramel. A hint of funk. Murky orange/amber. Very brief off white head that leaves a bit of lacing and a ring around the edge. Very smooth. Velvet mouthfeel. Tart. Fruity. A sharp sour/bitter bite at the finish. Really nice.

3.1 Appearance: Medium brown, clear. Slight off-white head. Aroma: Dark fruits, raisins. Malt? Taste: Sweet, fruits, on a slight tart background. Not at all bad. Bought: The Bottle Shop (Bruges), 375 ml, ~€3.00 Info: 10/7-2017, BB: 31/12-2017

2.3 Bottle, 15/07/17. Pours a dark mahogany orange with no head. Aroma is cherry, some sweetness, sour cherry, balsamico, apple skin. Taste is sweet, cherry, balsamico, slightly sour, appleskin. Too sweet, no carbonation.

3.4 Bottle at home. Clear amber body with a small white head. Light tartness, lots of sweetness, brown sugar, as previous raters says - cola notes. Not a favourite style, but drinkable.

3.3 Brown with almost no head. Aroma has some slight funk, malts, definitely picking up the cola factor the previous rater wrote about. Sour, oily, light bodied and slightly weird.

3.3 Bottle at In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst. Clear golden with white head. The aroma has notes of kvass, honey, caramel, coke, some fruitiness and tea. Very sweet flavor with notes of kvass, caramel, honey, lemon, a bit acidic, wood. Soft carbonation, medium-bodied.

3.2 Bottle at " In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst". Clear amber. Aroma of brown sugar, oak, caramel. Sweetish-tart, bread, caramel, wood. Medium-bodied, low carbonation. Reminded me home made kvass.

3.1 Bottle thanks to WingmanWillis. Murky burnt orange colour with a sweet, spicy aroma. Taste is sweet, boozy raisins with a hint of bitterness to finish. Wouldn’t be my first choice of beer, but not unpleasant.

3.2 Bottle on train. Pours red brown with a thin white head. Aroma is brown sugar, some funk, tart fruits. Taste is sweet, brown sugar, a little orange and then a little funk on the finish before mellowing out. Nice and smooth. Ok

3.4 Bottle share thanks to Wingman. Winner style. Poured hazy light brown with small off white head. Nose is sour grapefruit. Taste is sweet grapefruit lemon citrus fruit. Sour tang is there. Nice

2.8 Rami Rami is drinking a Faro Girardin 1882 by Brouwerij Girardin at Konstruktorska Business Center 2017 na korku. Siano, troche stajnia, owoce, slodkie, takie az fermentujace, chlebowe nutki, kwasnosc niewysoka. Niespecjalnie mi pasi, acz ciekawe

3.2 Appearance: amber, orange, clear, no head. Aroma: apple, mold, metallic. Taste: heavily sour, lightly bitter, medium sweetness. Palate: medium-light body, oily feel, creamy, soft carbonation, light bitter, wormwood-like finish.

AROMA: moderate sour aroma with notes of horse blanket / goaty. faint apples with a slight sweet background. APPEARANCE: amber color and clear. medium-low ivory head with low retention. TASTE: medium-low sour flavor with a slightly sweet background. faint apples and low wild yeast fermentation (horsy). faint bready-grainy notes. low bitterness with a dry finish. PALATE: light body with medium-low carbonation. slight tartaric mouthfeel. OVERALL: an average faro-style lambic.

3.3 Bottle, 375 ml at Gainsbar, Kortrijk. Pours brown small off white head. Malty, brown sugar, light fruit, moderate sweetness, sourish note, some dry bitterness in finish. Not very exciting,

3.6 Piwo ma głęboką bursztynową barwę, kolor wpada wręcz w brunatny. Piana jest średnio-intensywna, ale trwała, drobno-pęcherzykowa i kremowa. Aromat nie zabija mocą, na pierwszym planie są nuty dzikie w stylu siana, stajni i kiszonki. W tle nieco nut słodkich, owocowych. W smaku piwo jest słodko-kwaśne, wysoko wysycone. Początkowo wydaje się, że jest standardowo - stajnia, siano, wytrawność i cytrusowy kwasek. Szybko jednak pojawia się słodki posmak cukru kandyzowanego. Finisz jest lekko cierpki, herbaciany.

3.6 Bottle. Amber colour with white head. Fruit, barnyard aroma. Sweet, fruit barnyard, caramel and yeast taste. Medium body.

3.5 Bottle - Vintage 2015 - Funk and some sweaty notes. Cloudy dark gold with a nice beige head. Light barnyard and sweat with a touch of sweetness and funky finish. Not bad.

3.2 0,375l from bottle at home. Vintage 2017. Bordeaux like colour, small pink head. smells musty, tobacco, light fruit notes, some sweetness, nutty, candy, overall ok smell. Medium Body, light carbonation, soft mouthfeel. tastes of candy, tobacco, bit musty, some fruits, some grass. finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter with some fruit and grass notes. ok, but could use some complexity.
