Clear deep amber color with a foamy well lasting tanned head. Vinegar sourish aroma with a good woodyness, some cheesy hints and a nice balance between sweet- and sourness. Balsamic sourish flavor backed up by a sweet note of brown sugar. Not too sweet, but very good balanced amount of sugar. Not an easy faro - like most - bot more challenging. A great surprise and probably the best bottled faro I have had. And the faro to put me back on 100% for the style :-)

Jul 4, 2008 375 ml bottle: poured orange brown, a little darker than iced tea. Smallish off white head. Mild apple and honey aroma with a touch of varnish. Same with the flavor. Sweet up front with a mild sourness after the swallow. Good.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle. Low but astonishingly lasting fluffy off-white head. Hazy dark brown body. Powerful hay like aroma with grape fruit in the background plus roasted malt with caramel. Fairly sweet lemonade flavor of fruits. Low carbonation. Sweet aftertaste.

Jun 16, 2008 A great Faro, darker in cilor than most other Faro’s, It has a great smell of carameized applecake, honey, candy, fruit-jam and cumble. Soft taste and good balans. Sour apples, candy, farmhouse honey and some earthy accents too.

Jun 2, 2008 375ml bottle @ ’t Waagstuk in Antwerp. Clear dark brown colored body with a light tan head. Sweet apple, caramel and brown sugar aroma and flavor, sweet overall but it does have some mild tartness - mild prickly wood tannins, finishing with an artificial sweetener flavor. Above average for faro but not exactly stellar.
