May 16, 2005 Bottle: Aroma is very vinuous and lightly sweet with some vinegar. Pours a transparent orangish-red with almost no head. Vinuous with some vinegar. Light vinegar and some sourness in the finish. No carbonation and a little thin. Not really impressed but knocked out another style.

Apr 25, 2005 Ruby/amber and transparent in color, no head. Aromas of green apples, white wine, mustiness, spiceness, and other citrus too. Flavor reminded me of rotten sour apples, soda water but without the carbonation, tart syrup.

Mar 14, 2005 Bottle (possibly 7 years old) pours grayish brown, garnet hues, cloudy with sediment in the bottom, small off-white head, with so-so lacing. Sweet/Candyish nose, with a very slight tartness. Fairly sweet on the tongue, light, and not as tart as I would have thought. Subtle hints of oak and cherry... enough to know that the bottle is probably a bit past its prime but also to know how good it must have been. Body is quite enjoyable, but the beer still remains somewhat thin. Sweet finish, candyish, but not cloying. Thanks goes out to mattbob for sharing.

Feb 18, 2005 Beer #800 and the completion of my beer styles, a lambic-faro. I have looked long and hard for this style and finally found it sitting on a dusty lower level shelf in a beer store. Reddish-ruby in color. Crystal clear. No head. Aroma is funky, sweet and sour that has aged beyond its expected years. The body is medium and fairly smooth. Flavor is somewhat like a muted sweet and sour sauce. Unfortunately this beer is way past it’s prime. Thankfully I ordered some fresh Faro from Belgian Shop and can’t wait to give that a run.

Dec 23, 2004 Updated: Aug 28, 2006Bottle @ Delirium Cafe. Odd darkish, fairly sweet brown beer. Hardly reminiscent of other faros that I’ve sampled.
