Dark golden with a white head - Malt aroma - Malt body with a sweet note - The malt goes into the finish - This was ok
Fles thuis geprobeerd, helaas. Het is een troebel licht amberkleurig spul met een dun schuim. Het heeft een zure fruitige en wrange geur. De smaak is eerst zoet, dan komt t zure en wrange in.
0,25 litre bottle from old cellar collection. (As.1997 vintage) Golden with little head. Sweetness, fruity, oxidation.
This is a very nice lambic. The addition of candy sugar helps. I'm no fan of bland lambic. This however works well if a Little too sweet. Apples in the taste. Low abv. Easy drinking.
Dark golden colour with quick fading head. Aroma has tart vinegar and a little wood. This is suppressed in the taste where the sugar kicks in. Still a light tartness to it though.
Bottle at L’Imaige Nostre-Dame in Brussels. Clear amber. Whitish head. Sweet. Medium bodied. Fruity and caramel aroma with a little funk. Tastes good, but too sweet.
Rami Rami is drinking a Timmermans Faro Lambic (2019) by Brewery John Martin & Brewery Timmermans at Al. Stanów Zjednoczonych
W aromacie jest conieco dzikusow w strone mokrego siana, wcale nie jakichs sympatycznych. Oraz gruszki bardzo dojrzale. A w smaku przeslodzone ice tea gruszkowe. No bardziej ciekawostka i czekinek niz ze smakiem wypite niestety :( 3.13 ;)

AR: sweet sugary,, tinned mixed fruits
AP: amber, wee white head
F: wee bubbly carbonation, sugar bomb, fruit syrup
Backlog, pours a golden color with a smaller head that fades into a ring. Notes are caramel, candy apple, brown sugar, and sweet funk. Cloying and not my thing at all.
Barwa bursztynowa, piwo krystalicznie klarowne. Piana szybko całkowicie zanika.
Aromat średnio intensywny, na pierwszym planie słodki sok jabłkowy, nuty dzikie w tle (siano, korek) niuanse słodkiego pieczywa.
w smaku piwo jest wyraźnie słodkie, ponownie z narzucającym się sokiem jabłkowym, kwaśność jest średnio niska, cytrynowa z nutką octowego drapania. Dzikość gdzieś w tle.
A 375ml corked and caged bottle with a best before date of 26th September 2019. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass. It was a clear copper amber colour with a two finger white head that had decent retention, eventually dissipating to a thin layer over the top while leaving some sparse lacing. Aromas dusty and musty gives way to some sweet-ish candi sugar, apple, pear and dried fruits. Tastes sweet yet not overly so like in so many Faro’s. The slight sourness on the finish balances the sweetness and makes it easy on the palate. Plum, apple skin, brown sugar with a very light funk. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Overall I didn’t really enjoy the aroma, but luckily the taste was much more to my liking. It wasn’t overly sweet like so many Faro’s I’ve tried. I enjoyed it.
375ml served in a tulip glass. Pours a slightly cloudy orange color with some particles floating around forming a small light and aired white head with low retention and practically no lacings formed and left in the glass. Nose is sweet and fruity. Strong notes of sweet pale malts, honey, dry apricots and grassy and flowery hops. Taste is also sweet and fruity. Again, strong notes of sweet pale malts, caramel, honey, dry apricots, plums and candi sugar. Slightly but very slightly sour notes. Light body. Low carbonation. Sweet dry fruits in the aftertaste. My second Faro. Too sweet beer, That's enough.
Appearance: Cage and cork. Medium brown, red hue. Clear and fizzy. Small, off-white head.
Aroma: Sweet, apples, honey? Very faint funkiness.
Taste: Sweet, some light caramel. Apples, quite a bit. Very low tartness, hence I quite like it.
Bought: Trade with tderoeck - thanks!, 375 ml

375 ml corked bottle, bb 15/06/19. Moderate pop at opening.
Amber-brownish, clear body, with a small, beige head.
Aroma of cheesy funk, candy sugar, wood, leather, dried fruits.
Tastes quite sticky-sweet, of candy sugar, syrup, sweet dried fruits, moderate funk, some wood, some leather.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes sweet, sugary, wooden, a bit cheesy, a bit leathery, with sweet fruits.
Good. The nose is nice, although sweet, quite diverse, also with nice funk and wood notes. The taste is too sweet though, with the sugar almost completely covering everything else. Still quite fresh to drink.
Score: 7 / 4 / 6 / 3 / 13

375ml bottle. Pours clear amber, beige head. Aroma is soursweet, fruity, cherry marmalade. Taste is soursweet, very sugary, syrupy, candy sugar. Medium body, average carbonation. Very sweet, like coca-cola. Too much sweetness.
10-08-18 // 375ml bottle from Getränke Stumpf. clear darker golden with a rosé touch. No head. Ripe sweet juicy nose. Aroma of ripe sweet apples, raw apple juice, kandis sweet. Mild acidity, ciderlike. Low fizzy carbonation.
(cidre, nez yeast (& wild), pomme (ad !), bois jeune wet, > ronde-fresh, > apple (why ?), E300, last acide-sec, good-but)
Bottle. Color: Dark orange golden, frothy white head. Aroma: Bit stale sweet and sour. Taste: Over medium sweet, white sugar, hints of honey, combined with moderate to light sour lemon-like notes. Medium body, under average carbonation. Very sweet, even for a Faro.
clear golden with a white head. aroma of malts, apples, lambic, sweet. Taste.... wow....this...is ..sweet... looks like they trew an entire package of 1Kg sugar in my glass, the acidity of the lambic is pushed way back, all i can taste is sugar and a little lambic. nah. not great.
Аромат кислый, слегка сухо фруктовый. Цвет светло янтарный, абсолютно без пены. Слегка похожий на обычную соду. Вкус по началу очень кислый и ягодный. Сразу после глотка происходит сахарный взрыв, который остается на языке и даже на губах. Через минуту-две наступает легкое сухофруктовое послевкусие с кислым оттенком. Пиво хорошо карбонизированно. В целом уникальный напиток в редчайшем стиле.
Bottle from Redmond's of Dennistoun. Vibrant soft bubbles leading into white wine grape sweetness. Immensely drinkable.
Degustada en botella de 33cl,de cuerpo medio y poca espuma,muy acaramelada al principio que poco a poco va desapareciendo por la acidez final
Piana niewielka znika. Kolor mętne złoto. Aromat kwaskowy winny z nutami dzikimi, owoce typu brzoskwinie, przyjemnie. Smak kwaśne jabłko skontrowane słodyczą, kandyzowany cukier, landrynki są brzoskwinie śladowe ilości dzikich nut dające chropowatą gorycz pasującą do słodyczy. Bardzo dobre ale wolał bym spróbować tego piwo przed dosładzaniem.
Tap. Light amber, clear. Small head. Aroma: brett yeast, fruit, sugar. Similar taste. Light body. Fairly drinkable.
