Apr 24, 2008 Brought back from Europe and shared by Dickinsonbeer. Deep reddish amber in color. Aroma: balsamic vinegar, oak, weird vegetables, light cherries and sugar. Taste is downright awful, with alot of sugar that actually tastes more like sweet n low, and covers up the funky and fruity aspects of this. I am glad I finally tried a Faro, but I am certain that I would never want to take another sip of this beer again. Perhaps there are better examples of this style.

Apr 8, 2008 Bottle, thanks to Bu11zeye.
Poured a clear deep amber with off white head with good retention. Aroma was somewhat that of light vineger. Flavor was sweet and fruity, pretty good. Seemed to have somewhat low-medium carbonation with medium body....Tasty!

Mar 17, 2008 25cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Didn’t really know what to expect. Faros are few and far between. Lovely deep brown/chestnut with disappearing beige head. Mix of lambic and sweet brown sugar on the aroma. This is just pretty much of a mix. Yes, a bit of sour on aroma, but this thick sweet maltiness in mouth and the finish is just too sickly. Nope, don’t like it and not sure I could finish it even.
